SUMMARY:1784 Celebration of the 240th founding of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont\, Dundas and Glengarry
DESCRIPTION:What do Jane Fonda and the founder of the Chrysler Motor Corporation have in common? Both are descendents of Loyalist settlers who came to Canada in 1784 as refugees from the American Revolution. Both families settled in what is now Dundas County where many German Loyalists found homes.  Other Loyalist settlers took land spreading from Lancaster to the Bay of Quinte. \nThis year on June 6th\, it will be 240 years since John Johnson’s loyalist refugees from the American Revolution brought their boats ashore in a wilderness area that was to be their new homes. The settlers named their settlement New Johnstown and they spread from here to other sites along the river that were called the Royal Townships. Today these names are more familiar to us as Cornwall and the Counties of Stormont\, Dundas and Glengarry. \nOn June 7 to 9th\, step back into the past and rediscover the beginning of Cornwall and the SDG Counties when for three days Lamoureux Park will transform to what life was like when these new settlers arrived. In the park by the St. Lawrence River\, a tented village will spring up replicating New Johnstown as it was in 1784.  Visit the encampment to learn how these early settlers survived their arrival and flourished to build today’s vibrant city and counties and eventually lead to the establishment of the Province of Ontario. \nThis area of the province is steeped in history and to display that history\, many of the region’s historical and heritage groups will be presenting exhibits\, presentations and demonstrations in a large tent along Water Street. For music lovers\, concerts will be held on Friday and Saturday evenings presenting French\, Celtic and Akwesasne entertainers. The Cornwall Community Museum will be open for tours and will introduce its new exhibit on “1784”. In addition\, the United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada will be hosting their national conference in Cornwall. This celebration of our past is presented by the SDG Historical Society and is a free event open to all. \nIt’s not often that you can revisit history or see how your ancestors lived and coped\, but June 7-9th will provide that unique experience and also be a time to celebrate the 240th anniversary of Cornwall and the SDG Counties. For more information\, check out the event website at 1784.ca.

SUMMARY:SDG Historical Society: A Celebration of Friendship #Cornwall1784
DESCRIPTION:Experience history as it comes to life! On May 20-22\, Lamoureux Park will be the site of a celebration commemorating how Ontario began in 1784. Created and organized by the SDG Historical Society through the Cornwall Community Museum\, three days of historical displays and cultural performances will fill the park. The festival will bring together over two hundred and fifty reenactors\, equipment\, artifacts\, and activities representing three cultures that played significant roles in the area’s early history: the Indigenous peoples (Mohawks)\, the French-Canadians\, and the Loyalists (British\, Scottish\, and Palatines). This is a “rain or shine” activity that is free to the public and open to all. \nFew people travelling down Water Street in Cornwall realize they are passing by one of Ontario and Canada’s key historic sites. On the banks of the St. Lawrence River near what is now Lamoureux Park\, two hundred and thirty-eight years ago a group of exiles from the United States landed to make a new home. \nThese United Empire Loyalists had sided with Great Britain in the American Revolution. They left behind their homes and belongings in Upper New York State to stay loyal to the Crown and move to the wilderness of Canada. It was here that the Loyalists had been granted land by the King for their service. \nThe group of five hundred settlers landed that June day in 1784 led by Sir John Johnson and made up of officers\, soldiers\, and their families. They faced a forested wilderness and years of hardship but from there\, the roots of what would become Ontario began and Canada started its settlement of Upper Canada and beyond. \nAn exciting weekend of events is planned for this celebration. Lamoureux Park becomes a historic military encampment with one camp representing the Loyalists of 1784 and another one\, the War of 1812. Re-enactors will show life as it would have been two hundred years ago and provide entertainment over the weekend including military maneuvers. Children from the audience can dress up in British soldier uniforms and drill with wooden muskets. The Voltigeurs regiment from Quebec will also be part of the event providing a bilingual service for visitors. A French speaking Towne Crier dressed in the French Blue military uniform will announce events along with a British Towne Crier dressed in his resplendent red tunic. \nStarting off the Cornwall 1784 Celebration on Friday by getting immersed in French-Canadian culture presenting an evening of music\, dance and artisans sharing their proud heritage in Canada and in this area. Une soiree d’antan Canadienne will wrap up the day with music and dance by various entertainers from Eastern Ontario and Quebec. \nOn Saturday evening\, the Glengarry Highland Games will present a taste of the Games with a mini tattoo featuring pipe bands\, the famous MacCulloch Dancers\, Scottish fiddlers\, and great Celtic entertainment. \nOn Saturday and Sunday\, the Mohawk culture will be in the spotlight with The North Native American Traveling College (NNATC) of Akwesasne featuring a rotating display of basket making\, rattlers and drums makers\, medicinal herbs\, and fur cleaning process. A travel troop composed of singers and dancers will perform and explain the songs and their cultural significance as well as get the crowd involved in their celebration by joining in the dance. \nThis weekend celebration is the first time all three cultures have joined together in Cornwall to share their heritage. Whether you are interested in history\, want to enjoy first-class entertainment\, or just enjoy a day outside wandering among the displays\, you need to be in Cornwall on May 20\, 21 and 22. The best thing of all for the weekend is that it is free. The City of Cornwall\, the Cornwall TDF and numerous local businesses and organizations have made the Cornwall 1784 Celebration possible through generous donations. \nSee you at the park and witness history come alive.
