SUMMARY:The Gaelic Language - Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Come out to the beautifully preserved one-room school House in the Tait’s Community to be inspired to learn the Gaelic language. Trevor Aitkens will teach us some basic words and expressions and explain the meaning of familiar given names\, surnames and place names in our community.  Or join via Zoom \nGaelic originated in Scotland in 500 AD and was in common use up until the battle of Culloden in 1746. After this point\, support waned for the language to the point where it was in danger of becoming extinct.  During the latter half of the 19th century\, it was the 3rd most spoken language in Canada and actually had a bill tabled in the Senate to become an official language. \nTrevor Aitkens grew up in Brooke township\, Lambton County\, and lived with his grandmother who spoke Gaelic.  He regrets now that he didn’t take it up at the time. He studied a number of other languages but realized later that he needed to pay homage to his own heritage. Trevor stumbled upon a night school offering in Mississauga in 1998 and took up a 25-year learning period with the language. \nThis is a public event for all ages. \nThis is a hybrid event: Zoom and in person.  Here’s the instructions and links: \nTime: Mar 15\, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82585128691?pwd=VURnVFlTdFNQL01laUkzSnBFQU1JUT09 \nMeeting ID: 825 8512 8691\nPasscode: 094665\nOne tap mobile\n+13863475053\,\,82585128691#\,\,\,\,*094665# US\n+15074734847\,\,82585128691#\,\,\,\,*094665# US \nDial by your location\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\nMeeting ID: 825 8512 8691\nPasscode: 094665 \n

SUMMARY:Book signing: From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Author Chip Martin will join us for a hybrid presentation.  Tune in to the Zoom links below or show up at the Archives. Glencoe & District Historical Society is proud to help launch this important new book.  \nFilled with engaging stories and astonishing facts\, From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge examines the role of Canadians in the American Civil War. Award-winning journalist Brian Martin will open eyes in both Canada and the United States to how the two countries and their citizens interacted during the Civil War and the troubled times that surrounded it. \nDespite all we know about the Civil War\, its causes\, battles\, characters\, issues\, impacts\, and legacy\, few books have explored Canada’s role in the bloody conflict that claimed more than 600\,000 lives. \nA surprising 20\,000 Canadians went south to take up arms on both sides of the conflict\, while thousands of enslaved people\, draft dodgers\, deserters\, recruiters\, plotters\, and spies fled northward to take shelter in the attic that is Canada. Many escaped slavery and found safety through the Underground Railroad.  There were also KKK organizers who fled north.  Confederate President Jefferson Davis along with several of his emissaries and generals found refuge on Canadian soil\, and many plantation owners moved north of the border. \nThe historical society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nLecture: From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge: Canada and the Civil War\nTime: Feb 14\, 2023 07:00 PM America/Toronto \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84688108319?pwd=RUVPaVNGMFg4YVIrTjVxcGxzOUppUT09 \nMeeting ID: 846 8810 8319\nPasscode: 744381\nOne tap mobile\n+13863475053\,\,84688108319#\,\,\,\,*744381# US\n+15074734847\,\,84688108319#\,\,\,\,*744381# US \nDial by your location\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\nMeeting ID: 846 8810 8319\nPasscode: 744381 \n

SUMMARY:Oakland Cemetery Memorial
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the gates of the cemetery lives an historical account of our past\, a rich heritage populated by friends and relatives.  Loved ones who can no longer be with us\, but whose memories live on.”  – Josh Kekosz.   \n  \nEach year the historical society honours those who came before us.  On July 24\, 2022\, the   Cemetery Memorial Service was held at Oakland Cemetery\, which was opened May 1894 by a group of ten men who formed a Board of Directors.   \n  \nFive acres was purchased from a local farmer in Mosa Township and surveyed into plots of 16 feet X 16 feet.  These plots were purchased by families.  One plot had room for 8 burials.  The first burial was Thomas Hopkins in May 1894.      \n  \nThe community was previously served by small family plots and St. Andrew’s (Graham) Cemetery at 112 Main Street Glencoe (Concession 1\, Lot 1). St. Andrew’s eventually contained approximately 500 burials between 1841 – 1931.  It still exists and is classified as ‘abandonned’.   \n  \nAfter the new Oakland Cemetery opened and families started purchasing plots\, new stones were installed and the names of beloved previously deceased family members were commemorated.  This could explain why there are 175 inscriptions whose dates of death  are prior to May 1894. \n  \nRecords are poor but we surmise that sometimes stones were moved to the new Oakland.  Sometimes the stones might have been buried or lost from their original  family plot locations.  And what of the bodies?  We guess that bodies probably remain in their original resting places.  It seems doubtful if they would have  been disinterred and moved  \nLink to interactive G&DHS Cemetery Map.     \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:1917- A Year that Shook the World.  Featuring Al McGregor
DESCRIPTION:Join Al McGregor who will take us back to WWI. He has written a great historical novel and will give us the story behind the story.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\n\nhttps://zoom.us/j/91880326261 \nMeeting ID: 918 8032 6261 \nCanada is changing. Munition production is one of the largest industries. Women are taking a place in the factories. Returning veterans grapple with their future. Halifax is shattered by explosion. And\, a proposal that had it been accepted would have changed the destination of the snowbirds of today. \n1917 dawns as the third year of chaos in the First World War. In the next 12 months the world will be shaken by apparent stalemate on the battlefield; the Russian Revolution and the growing role of the United States in international affairs. \nCanadians take pride in the capture of Vimy Ridge but recoil in horror at the mounting causalities on the battlefields of France. The demand for more fighting men will touch off a political crisis over conscription and the fear of a badly divided country. \n\n\n\nAl McGregor is a local author specializing in historical fiction. His books are based on the Canadian experience with an emphasis on Southwestern Ontario. \nThe former television anchor\, reporter and producer builds on an extensive background in research and writing to recreate the various era’s that attract his attention. Pre-covid\, he often delivered presentations on the books and the writing process. His home is in rural Elgin County. For more information www.almcgregor.com \nFacebook link

SUMMARY:Underground Railroad Code
DESCRIPTION:Underground Railroad quilt code: fact or fiction.  \nPresented by quilter\, Micki Angyal.  \n7:00 p.m. The Archives\, 178 McKellar Street. Glencoe.     \nAfter the U.S. Congress passed the Compromise of 1850\, the law forced free northern states to return escaped slaves.  Conductors like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass led many escapees to Canada. The journey north was not easy. Secrecy was necessary for escape and information could only be passed by word of mouth\, using codes\, signs and signals created by slaves. One such code was using quilts.  Various blocks in the quilts gave the slaves clues as to where they had to go. \nMicki Angyal will select 10 quilt blocks and explain the code and meaning of each pattern.  Join us to learn about the mystery of how quilts may have helped  those travelling North.
