On Monday, December 14th please join us at 7:00 pm via Zoom for our first ever Virtual Genealogy Show & Tell. If you have a family history story to tell, a family heirloom you would like to show off, or just a great genealogy adventure to talk about, we would love to have you be part of our show. You can participate with either live oral storytelling (microphone only), or with a video clip you submit in advance, or by sending us a photo or photos of your heirloom which we will display while you talk about them. This will require some advance planning, so if you are interested please contact us at [email protected] to work out the details. Then on December 14th, grab your favourite winter beverage, and maybe a Christmas cookie or two, and we’ll share stories.

Please join us on Monday, November 9th at 7:00 pm via Zoom to enjoy a presentation by Brockville Museum Public Program Coordinator Peggy Hause. In keeping with a November Remembrance Day theme, Peggy’s program, On the Homefront, delves into what was happening on the local homefront when the soldiers were overseas. This talk will explore the hardships, changes, and sacrifices that the citizens of Brockville faced with a focus on World War Two.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting. Peggy joined the Brockville Museum in early 2018 as the Interpretation and Public Program Coordinator, having gained her museum experience from working at a number of museums from large provincial museums to small rural museums. She believes that museum programs allow visitors to engage in ways that help them gain a deeper connection to history.
