Today

  • Dec 9 – Christmas at the Train Station

    Historic Glencoe Railway Station 151 McRae Street, Glencoe, Ontario, Canada

    Join the Glencoe & District Historical Society on Wednesday, December 9th at the Glencoe Train Station for the launch of Glencoe Station: The Restoration of Glencoe Station Middlesex, marking 25 years since this beloved community landmark was saved and restored. Doors open at 2:00 p.m., with the presentation beginning at 2:30 p.m.

    We especially welcome the families and descendants of those who were part of the original save-the-station effort. So many of the people who gave their time, voices, and determination to this cause are no longer with us, and this event is as much a tribute to them as it is a celebration of the building they saved. If your family has a connection to the Glencoe Station restoration story, we would love to see you there.

  • Mar 3, 2027: Ghost Signs & Bubble Gum: The O-Pee-Chee Story

    Glencoe Public Library 123 McKellar St., Glencoe, Ontario, Canada

    Dr. Dove will bring this history to life, drawing on his research and his forthcoming documentary, Packaging Fun: London's O-Pee-Chee Company. He'll speak to the significance of Glencoe's own O-Pee-Chee ghost sign — confirmed by Dr. Dove himself as authentic O-Pee-Chee signage, and, by his estimation, among the largest of only a handful still surviving in Canada, making the case for its preservation as a rare and important piece of regional heritage.
