Following the departure of our summer student the Archives will only be available BY APPOINTMENT for researchers. Beginning after Labour Day we will be back on a Monday-Friday schedule, with volunteers on duty by appointment. However, the Museum building will be closed to visitors September 6-18 inclusive in order to make some necessary repairs. We hope this will not inconvenience visitors. To book an appointment beginning September 19th, please email us at [email protected] or call 1-855-697-6687 and leave a message. Please let us know your preferred dates, and keep in mind that our volunteers normally work in the afternoons from 1-4 pm.

On Monday, September 12th at 7:00 pm on Zoom join the Leeds & Grenville Branch for a presentation by Maggie Wheeler, the Seaway Valley’s Queen of Crime. Maggie will speak about the origins of her Farran Mackenzie Lost Villages mysteries from the Seaway history, the connection to the history of the British Home Children, twenty years with Farran Mackenzie, and the finale of the series slated for October 2022.
Maggie holds a Masters in English and a Bachelor of Education in English and History, and is best known for showcasing the social, cultural and psychological impact of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project construction on the Canadians it affected.
