The first step in the research is to make certain of the correct property description. This can involve combing available resources, such as: past census; cemetery and church records; assessment rolls; birth, marriage and death certificates; published histories and newspaper accounts; business ledgers; school registers; and, diaries. As you can see, searching a property is no small task. A lawyer or title searcher would charge a large fee for a similar service. The program attempts to accurately identify who constructed the building being researched, when it was built and the occupation of the builder. Home owners are encouraged to use the information this program provides to further expand their knowledge of their buildings' former occupants and their lives. "We recently bought an old historic home in Glen Williams that is very rich in local history and national Canadian history along with tremendous architectural detail (Edwardian Period 1901). We wanted to ensure others walking by could appreciate the property's value to the community by adding an HHH sign to the outside of the home describing its past," said Brian Collie, of 25 Mountain Street, Glen Williams (pictured right). This is one of the Glen Williams Mill Owner/ Managers home, which author Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote about in her books and took photos of in the 1920s. HHH encourages residents as they travel throughout Halton Hills to be on the lookout for the Heritage Signage Program signs, and learn more about the history and heritage of your community.
