The Highgate Mastodon
February 18 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This event was inspired by the mastodon tooth we have in The Archives collection that was discovered in north Mosa Township back in the 1930s. It is a great story!
Tom Chase, told us about the mastodon, its Ice Age habitat, and what it teaches us about the ancient landscapes and peoples of Southern Ontario. Tom Chase has been with the Heritage Center since 2015, working in education, security, and visitor services. statemuseum.nd.gov ndstudies.gov
Here’s story about the Highgate Mastodon: Journey of the Highgate Mastodon | Prairie Public.
And here is Peter Russell, Curator Emeritus, Earth Sciences Museum at the University of Waterloo. Watch this before the zoom tour on February 18, 2026: This is another telling of The Highgate Mastodon Story. We are hoping he will attend February 18th too!
