Stories of our Peninsula
The South Arm Peninsula has a rich heritage of people and places with many stories to tell.
Over decades local historian, Maurice Potter, gathered countless images and tales to tell the story of European history, much of which is on display in our History Room at the South Arm Community Centre. Michael Topfer has taken over stewardship of the collection, sharing and expanding the information further by adding short articles to our history page here, initiating history cruises on the ML Egeria and managing the active South Arm Peninsula History Group on Facebook.
