Description : Scenes from the past entertained members of the Tecumseth and West Gwillimbury Historical Society at their September meeting. Slides from the collections of David Chambers and Franz Aschwanden highlighted projects from the Society's 15 year history. House tours, dedications of historic plaques, and trips of discovery on highways 27 and 88 were recalled with pleasure. Annual Christmas Parties and June Picnics provided fun and fellowship, then and now. Lastly, members were reminded of the significant amount of published material produced by the Society. The October meeting will continue the tradition of promoting local history. Members of the Alliston Historical Society will show a video which documents the architecture of Alliston churches. Shirley Gibson, President, will provide an update on progress of renovations to the South Simcoe Pioneer Museum. Please join us for an interesting meeting and refreshments, 8 p.m., on Monday, October 17th at the Newton Robinson United Church Hall. The November 21st meeting will be equally exciting. Russell Cooper, formerly of Black Creek Pioneer Village, will display some of his collection of walking sticks, and share their histories.
