SUMMARY:Jun 18   Vanished Villages - where did they go?
DESCRIPTION:Vanished Villages in our district – a post mortem \nTime: 6:00 p.m. \nLocation: Glencoe Public Library\n \nWhile Newbury continues to thrive\, many once-bustling nearby settlements in west Middlesex have quietly disappeared from the map. What happened to places like Strathburn\, Kilmartin\, Ekfrid Station\, Pratt Siding\, and Cashmere—and why did Newbury and Glencoe endure while they did not? \nIn this illustrated and engaging talk\, local historian Jennifer Grainger explores the rise and fall of these vanished villages. Drawing on maps\, photographs\, land records\, and archaeological clues\, she traces where these communities were located\, how historians and genealogists research them today\, and what—if anything—remains on the landscape. \nThis presentation will appeal to anyone interested in: \n\nLocal and regional history\nGenealogy and place-based research\nTransportation\, railways\, and economic change\nHeritage preservation and memory\n\nAbout the Speaker\nJennifer Grainger holds an MA in Archaeology and a Master of Library & Information Science.
