Storyland was a children’s theme park located northwest of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, near the town of Renfrew in Horton Township featuring depictions of classic fairy tale scenes.
In 1953 a large rock was found in the area bearing a chiselled inscription: "Champlain Juin 2, 1613".
Elements Luxury Tented Camp and Nature Spa have been set up on the acreage.
They were unable to have children so they chose instead to build story scenes to amuse hikers on their way to the Champlain Lookout, one of the highest points along the Ottawa River and located at the rear of their property.
The park continued to expand, adding new scenes at a steady rate until 1973 when Durk Heyda suffered a heart attack and control was handed to family friend John Berkhout.
