SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society Monthly Meeting - An Immersive Journey Through the History of Tap Dancing
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, December 6 at 8 p.m. for an immersive journey through tap dance history\, beautifully narrated through storytelling and dance. With over 300 years of evolution\, this art form has a rich and complex past that intertwines with jazz music and jazz movements. \nSpeakers (and dancers!) Trina Josdal & Amy Lintunen are co-directors of Vintage Taps\, a vaudeville inspired tap dance company. They are dance instructors at Swansea School of Dance and active members of the Swansea community. \nThis meeting will be offered as a hybrid meeting\, but given the nature of this topic\, which will include live dance\, the event will be best experienced in-person\, on location\, at Swansea Town Hall\, Rousseau Room. For those who still prefer to join us online\, you can join us via Zoom using the links on our WEBSITE.

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society April 2019 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kelly Mathews – “The Road to Marylake” \nIn 2018\, we enjoyed a most entertaining talk by author Kelly Mathews on the subject of Lady Flora Eaton’s lavish country estate in King Township.

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society March 2019 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Maniezzo – “When Swansea Was Dry” \nDid you know that the sale of alcoholic beverages was prohibited in the Province of Ontario between 1916 and 1927\, or that some municipalities\, including Swansea\, were “dry” for even longer periods of time\, under a provision known as “Local Option”? A restaurant partly in Swansea and partly in York Township could serve alcohol in the back half but not the front half. For many years it was thought that the south side of Bloor Street between Jane and Runnymede was legally “dry”\, when in fact it was not. John Maniezzo will talk about these and other quirky stories as he explores the history of alcohol sales in Swansea and its neighbouring municipalities.
