Some RTHS Highlights for 2014
The year 2014 will be another busy one for the RTHS and our new board. The Dickinson House did not sell in the Cities efforts of last fall, so we will be operating it for another year or two at least.
We will be publishing a book entitled "The Women of Dickinson House And Their Place in Manotick Village Society 1870 - 1930". (Maureen McPhee)
We will also be developing an oral history project to interview a variety of Rideau citizens who have contributed to community in many ways.
So give some thought to helping us out by volunteering in one of our projects We would so much appreciate the assistance.
