Community traditions such as foodways, farming practices, celebrations, and daily life
Emotional tone, humour, and memory that enrich archives

Take a journey back in time—10,000 years to be exact! Join Gallery Guide Tom Chase for a fascinating 45-minute presentation on the Highgate Mastodon, a remarkable glimpse into prehistoric life discovered right here in our community.
This event is 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!
