Preserving and Promoting local history for the former Rideau
Township
The Rideau Township Historical Society
Hello 2015.
After a busy 2014 and a very enjoyable Chriistmas party, RTHS is ready to meet 2015.
The first order of business was to elect and install a revised board of directors. This new board, along with contact information for the officers, can be viewed by clicking on the "Contact Officers" link in the column on the left. We have also presented a budget for 2015 and have submitted all necessary financial papers to our auditor. It is planned that the auditors report will be presented at the March meetilng.
There are two other priorities to be addressed; planning the program for the Dickinson House this coming summer and planning the programs for the Society meeting for the rest of 2015. Work has begun in ernest for both of these tasks.
Dave Bartlett's book on heritage buildings in North Gower and the area is available online. Click here to visit the site.
