Our friends over at Trafalgar Township Historical Society have shared this event with us that we thought some of you may be interested in.
Join them at the old Palermo Public Schoolhouse on Tuesday Oct 3rd at 7:00 pm for a presentation of “Rural Halton County, Early to Mid 1900’s”!
Rural Halton County Early to Mid 1900’s!
Illustrated by Photographs from four branches of the Norton family, farming life in rural Halton.
Alan Norton, has researched his ancestors for over 50 years and published 12 family history books. He will show a few of rural Halton photos at the Trafalgar Township Society.
The four branches of Alan Norton's ancestral grandparents were all in Upper
Canada or Ontario after 1867. Nortons 1837, Robinsons
1888, McMillans before 1837, Bonifacio 1871.
In all four families, at least one of them was able to acquire a camera and there are
hundreds of photos in the Norton collection depicting their lives at work
and play.
Norton will talk about the pictures which show actual operations of market gardening and dairy farming as well as the side story of getting the rural children to high school in Burlington. There are pictures of their personal interests and activities including the Burlington Beach.
