Joseph Dain – Caradoc farm boy – by Dave McEachran
March 17 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Strathroy and District March Regular Meeting will be Monday, March 17th at 7:00 PM. We meet in the Multimedia Room in the Gemini Sportsplex (at 667 Adair Blvd, Strathroy – located right behind the SDCI/Holy Cross highschool). Enter through the main entrance of the arena and turn to the right.
Join us for the historical journey of a young boy born in Caradoc Township, who at the age of 12, moved along with his family to Missouri. This young man, Joseph Dain would go on to mechanize the process of hay harvest. His eventual partnership and employment with Deere & Co. would lead to a significant development in agriculture history. Come follow along his journey and this local Middlesex County connection presented by local collector and private museum operator, Dave McEachren.
Dave McEachren owns and operates The McEachren Collection @ Forty-87, a private museum displaying a vast array of John Deere related artifacts and historical items including farm toys, literature, memorabilia, and over 40 real tractors.
We hope to see you there,
SDHS Executive Board
