Hello! My name is Katy McNabb, and I am the creator of Rewind Design - A Cottage History Podcast. In honour of Canada Day weekend, I am releasing the first episode dedicated to my own personal cottage history story! I decided to create this podcast and associated blog because I am extremely passionate about cottage country and how everyone and everything ended up here! I wanted to create a space for cottages and cottage lovers alike to share stories of migration to cottage country over the years, childhoods spent on the lakes, stories of generations of fun in one of the most treasured areas of Ontarians (and everything in between). I love to hear how cottagers ended up where they are and most often the reasons why people end up where they are is full of mystery and serendipity.

For example, How did a generation of farmers come to own 100 acres of land on a now very populated point in Parry Sound with the original 1894 farmhouse still standing. How did a family of loggers buy a lot in Dorset in the early 1900s for $100 and didn’t know there was an existing 10 x 10 cabin on the property until they walked the site? How did an island cottage on Georgian Bay end up being a Bootleg Gin Distillery for many years until WW2?… These are all stories I am going to share in upcoming episodes of Rewind Design!

There are so many stories to share and explore and I cannot wait to dig deeper into Cottage Country History with you every 2 weeks. So stay tuned for upcoming episodes airing every 2 weeks on Mondays starting today July 4th.
