Town of York Historical Society Walking Tour - On the Edge of the City: Toronto in 1833
2022-08-27 10:30 - 12:00 | Toronto’s First Post Office, 260 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 1N1, Canada
Explore the Town of York on foot with one of our expert historians!
Imagine a Toronto where the tallest building is only three stories high, where Lake Ontario reaches Front Street, where the wagon wheels grind through the muddy roads, the air smells of smoke and animal, and the surrounding lands is farms, fields, and forests. This was what the neighbourhood looked like in the early 1800s.
In this walking tour, explore the surviving built environment of the original 10 blocks of Toronto and discover how the Town of York, which started as a colonial outpost with a couple hundred residents, became the City of Toronto in 1834, with a population of just under 10,000.
Tours start and end at Toronto’s First Post Office. Tours run rain or shine, and may cover rough ground, so please dress accordingly. All ages are welcome. Dogs and bicycles are welcome as we walk, though portions of some tours may include areas where they are restricted.

“Fascinating Facts from Loyalist History” — Presentation by Stephen Davidson
Whether you are new to the story of the Loyalists or it is a treasured part of your family’s heritage, there is always something new to learn about Canada’s refugee founders. Historian and author Stephen Davidson has compiled 25 facts from Loyalist history that may have escaped the notice of your Canadian history teachers — facts that prove to be far more fascinating than many of the myths that have clung to these “friends of the king” over the centuries.
Stephen Davidson UE – One set of Stephen’s Loyalist ancestors were aboard the Union, the flag ship of the spring fleet that arrived at the mouth of the St. John River in 1783. His 1975 bachelor’s thesis on an aspect of Black Loyalist history became the basis for his contribution to Volume VII of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
In addition to submissions to The Loyalist Gazette and more than 795 articles for Loyalist Trails, Stephen’s research has appeared in multiple genealogy periodicals, a national children’s magazine, The Beaver, and a number of Maritime newspapers.
He served as a consultant for two websites created by the University of New Brunswick (Black Loyalists in New Brunswick and Loyalist Women in New Brunswick), spoke at two national historical conferences, served as Peter C. Newman’s consultant and researcher, and authored two books on Black Loyalists. Stephen and his wife live in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, where they raised two daughters and now enjoy the proximity of their two grandsons.

Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives Open House
2022-09-15 17:00 - 20:00 | Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives (New Location), 75 Talbot Street East, Aylmer, Ontario, N5H 1H3, Canada
Join us for our new building open house! Have an opportunity to tour the new building and see our plans for renovations.
Enjoy complimentary refreshments, tours, and a raffle.
Samples of the leaves for our planned Heritage Tree will be available to view.

The Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives has found a new home in downtown Aylmer, located at 75 Talbot Street East. We’ve purchased the building, but will need further funds to renovate our new home. We are requesting your assistance to make this new museum a vital and welcoming presence in our community!
Aylmer and Malahide have a lively and engaging history. From our founding as a museum in 1977, the AMMA has been a repository for the citizens of these communities to entrust their artifacts, photographs, and stories. These have been diligently catalogued, preserved, exhibited, and made available to the community, researchers, genealogists, and historians. Over the past 45 years, the museum has far exceeded its capacity and has been limited by its present location in how it shares the stories that it holds in trust.
We trust you are aware of the important role that museums play in preserving the history of their community. The work of the Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives is largely supported by our generous donors and members who contribute to our museum each year.
Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!

Toronto Railway Museum (Virtual): A History of Toy Trains
2022-09-15 19:00 - 20:30 | online
Join us! “A History of Toy Trains: An ‘O’ Gauge Perspective” on September 15 (7pm EST).
Discover the beginnings and early history of toy trains made in Britain, Europe and the United States, and how manufacturers marketed trains for Canada. Presenters will delve into the evolution of toy trains, from pull toys to simple clockwork mechanisms and beautifully decorated tinplate lithography, to the well engineered mechanical marvels of the early 1900’s.
The appeal of mechanical electric toy trains exploded in the Post WWII era, and the Golden Age of popularity was the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. After a generation of decline, the toy trains of today are enjoying an unprecedented resurgence, as manufacturers are now making modern remote-controlled electronic marvels, with full sounds and effects recorded from real steam and diesel locomotives. The session will close with a look at the toy trains of today.
Tickets for this event are free, although registration is required.
Attendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time, and will end at 8:30pm EST.

2022-09-20 19:30 | online
Speaker: Jennifer Guerin
The automobile’s impact on society and the economy has been pervasive.

Jennifer Guerin, Heritage Researcher for the City of Peterborough, examines the hitherto unexplored development of the garage as a stand-alone structure and its evolution as an integral part of house design.
A question and answer period will follow the speaker’s presentation.
Tuesday, 20 September 2022, 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. Register to attend by sending an email note to info@peterboroughhistoricalsociety.ca with “Garage” in the subject line. Registrants subsequently will be sent the link to join the meeting. Deadline to register is noon, 20 September.

Hastings County Historical Society Presents "Rumrunners: The Story of Ben Kerr and Prohibition" with Dan Buchanan
2022-09-20 19:30 | Maranatha Church, 100 College Street West, Belleville, Ontario, K8P 2G5, Canada
Hastings County Historical Society Invites you to a Public Presentation With Guest Speaker Dan Buchanan – The History Guy of Brighton
Dan Buchanan combines in-depth research with engaging stories to entertain and educate. Dan will tell the amazing story of Ben Kerr, one of the most notorious rum runners on Lake Ontario during prohibition.
Follow Ben Kerr from his youthful days in Hamilton, through his smuggling days, including many visits to Belleville harbour to pick up whiskey from Corby’s distillery. Prohibition shaped Ben Kerr’s life and would lead to his tragic death in the unforgiving ice floes of Lake Ontario winter. Crime doesn’t pay, but Ben Kerr made the cash flow, at least for a while. This is fascinating local and Canadian history!
Note: Enter Maranatha Church by main front doors. The presentation is in the main auditorium, which allows for plenty of spacing between seats.

Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Peter Meyler, "The Turbulent Life of John ‘Daddy’ Hall"
2022-09-21 19:00 | online
The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including our series of talks. We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month, April to November, at 7:00 pm.
The Museum being no longer available as a host site, and with the continuing threat of COVID, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs, so we have made this a subscription series, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters.

Peter Meyler loves discovering our untold histories. His research has led to two books, many articles, and numerous presentations. The co-author of A Stolen Life: Searching for Richard Pierpoint and editor of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson from Slavery to Freedom, Peter has uncovered historic information on a number of remarkable Black Canadians, including John “Daddy” Hall, Sophia Burthen, Lemuel Brown, and Larry Gains. Today’s presentation features John Daddy Hall of Owen Sound. It is said Daddy Hall had 21 children and six wives over his 118-year life.
But this isn’t the most remarkable things about him. Discover this African-Ojibwa warrior, Tecumseh scout, Kentucky slave, Black militiaman, and Grey County resident. Daddy Hall is a man who fought in the War of 1812 was captured and taken into slavery — a man who escaped, came back home, and struggled to make a place for himself in Canadian society.

Culinary Historians of Canada: Speaking Cod: A History of Cod Fishing & Cod Eating from the Vikings to Now
2022-09-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Victoria Park Avenue & Danforth Avenue, 757 Victoria Park Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M1L 1B1, Canada
How one humble fish changed the world. Elisabetta Giacon talks about her ongoing research into cod history. With recipes!
How could one humble fish change the history of the world? From the Norse Viking era when Europeans first learned about the huge codfish stocks in North American waters to the times of the south Italian Normans (1000 C.E.) to the first collection of Italian recipes, to a time when the wealthy and the less wealthy embraced the consumption of cod, researcher Elisabetta Giacon looks at the history of cod and the ancient “cod people” who continue to have an impact on international cuisine.
She explains how cod cuisine has moved and adapted to various diverse cultures with new and traditional ingredients, in time entrenching a regional way of preparing either dried or salted or frozen or fresh cod.
Cod history is one still in the making, in Elisabetta’s view, and her trip to Canada is part of her ongoing research into the history of cod, cod fishing, “cod people” and the cod recipes.
Her talk on her research will include photos, maps, bibliographical references and recipes! And we are hoping to have some cod-based snacks to accompany the talk.

Born in Northern Italy, Elisabetta Giacon, has been a charter member of the Culinary Historians of Washington, D.C. since 1997. After studying in France, England and Austria, she obtained a second degree, in American Studies, from the University of Maryland. Elisabetta’s food writings have appeared in newspapers, magazines and food encyclopedias and she has worked as a cookbook translator for over 20 years. In 2002, Elisabetta was part of a team who assisted in setting up Julia Child’s Kitchen at the Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
In 2019, her book La Cioccolata dei Missionari (Chocolate of the Missionaries) was published in Italy. It explores the ways missionaries, especially the Northern Italian “Padre Kino,” contributed to the “Columbus Exchange” and how that has affected northern Mexico and Arizona’s cuisine and economy. Her most recent research is focused on cod and the ancient “cod people.”

The event room in the building is on the first floor. We ask all participants to wear masks. Thanks for taking care of our immune-compromised members!
