The Unsolved Murder of Sir Harry Oakes - 80 Years Later

It’s a whodunit for the ages!
Harry Oakes was a prospector down on his luck and seeking his fortune when he arrived in Kirkland Lake in 1911. In less than ten years he would become a multi-millionaire with the founding of the Toburn and Lake Shore Mines as they produced along the “Mile of Gold”.
With his wealth he left a legacy of philanthropic work in the communities he lived in, and he made many friends in his life - but along the way he also made enemies.
The Unsolved Murder of Sir Harry Oakes: 80 Years Later is a video presentation celebrating the many achievements of a driven man, and his mysterious and unsolved murder at his home in the Bahamas on July 8, 1943.

Great work, Sara! As an ex-Kirkland Laker, living in South Africa for the past 40 years, Sir Harry's story has always intrigued me. I visited the Museum in 2021 on a rare visit to KL and really enjoyed it.
