I recently discovered that Hands Fireworks Inc is the oldest and first fireworks company in Canada. I've known that they had made fireworks for a long time, but I'm not even sure if I knew they were from the area. The factory is behind Prescott and the museum and outlet store are right in town. I checked out the museum the other day (a work in progress they tell me) and saw some old pictures of big events that they'd done. They have some old awards, fireworks, signs and various other pieces of memoribilia. A really neat little place. There is also information on fireworks safety and how to put on a sweet fireworks show. It's free, so it's well worth the time to go in and give it a look.
