July 18 – Tartan Days 2026
Join us on Saturday, July 18th, from 10 AM to 2 PM at two locations:
1. the Archives at 178 McKellar St, Glencoe,
2. the Parkette at 241A Main Street, where we’ll have a prime spot right on Main Street with the car show.
We’ll be selling local history books and promoting our upcoming events. Stop by, say hello, buy a membership and browse our selection.
We’re also running two free draws during the event. Adults can enter to win a year-and-a-half membership, running from July 2026 through December 31, 2027.
For visitors 18 and under, we’re drawing for four of our beautiful commemorative medallions. These medallions were created by the Historical Society as a fundraiser 30 years ago, sold for $10 each, and have since become cherished keepsakes.
Come find us at either location and help us celebrate Tartan Days while learning a bit more about Glencoe’s history!
