We have three events coming up on Saturday, March 23, 2024.
Our public meeting this month is jointly sponsored by NGHS and the Friends of the Ferguson Forest. The first seedlings were planted on farmland purchased by the provincial Ministry of Lands and Forests in 1945. At first, it was called the Kemptville Nursery. In 1949, it was renamed the G. Howard Ferguson Forest Station in honour of Ontario’s former premier and one of Kemptville’s favourite sons. Dr David Shanahan will trace its history, starting at 2:00 pm.
In the morning, there will be two events to appeal to families and children, first KidsKlub at 9:00 am, then NGHS will participate in the Old Town Kemptville BIA “Bunny Hop,” starting at 11:00 am.
The kids will be sewing a personal bookmark with animal designs, and reservations are required. See the poster for details. At the Bunny Hop, everyone is welcome to make a bird’s nest with Easter treats.
Come out and join us at the History Hub, 148 Prescott Street, for any or all of these events.
