The Glencoe & District Historical Society contributed $1,500 toward the preservation of this church. Lorne Munroe understood that heritage is not something that belongs only to the past. He made the motion and a few of us wondered why we needed to support a London project. But we passed the motion. Seeing that church in active use, full of community members engaged with story and song, made that investment feel like so much more than money.

Friday, June 12, 2026 was a gift — one of those days when you set out to explore and come home knowing you've made connections that will last. The Heritage Day in North Middlesex brought together some of the most vibrant archivists, artists, and community builders in this region. As a member of the Glencoe and District Historical Society, I was proud to take part. I also wore my Google Guide hat all day, uploading photos to each of these cultural spaces on Google Maps so that future visitors can find them more easily. |

🔎 Why do some places vanish while others endure? Join us to explore how geography, transportation, industry, and timing shaped the fate of Middlesex County’s lost communities—and what their stories still tell us today. In 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. |

Join us for our Annual St. Mary’s Service at one of Middlesex County’s most treasured historic landmarks, lovingly preserved since the 1840s. Built of local walnut—generously donated by Captain Christopher Beer, who even postponed building his own home to support the church—St. Mary’s stands as a testament to dedication, sacrifice, and community vision. Although regular services ended in 1920, the tradition of gathering here has continued for over a century. |
