A cavalcade of
cars from The Richmond Community Historical Society are planning to review the
legacy left by the disbanded soldiers of the War of 1812-14 who settled first in
Drummond County.
Later, many of these settlers moved to areas such as L’ Avenir, Ulverton
and South Durham. It will take place on Saturday, June 8.
Cars will
depart from the Museum, 1296 Route 243 in Melbourne Township at 1:30 p.m. and
the United Church parking lot in Ulverton at 1:50 to visit various points of
interest near the St. Francis River, and Major General Frederick George Heriot’s
final resting place in Drummondville.
This tour
coincides with the annual barbeque at St. Georges’ Anglican Church.
For
reservation or inquiries about this guided trip, contact Don Healy at
819-826-2793 by Thursday, June 6.
All are
welcome.
