Trafalgar Township Historical Society "Documenting, celebrating and preserving the agricultural heritage of North Oakville" Winter 2015 Newsletter Heritage Day Fall Fair & Book Sale Brings New Visitors to Palermo Schoolhouse! On Saturday, September 27th, directors and volunteers welcomed sixty-two visitors to the schoolhouse in Palermo. Most were new people to the area, with more than the usual number of children and younger adults attending. Karla Corrigan from the Halton Region Museum had an interesting display of kid-friendly activities and treats centered around the now-extinct passenger pigeon. Several people tried out the early school house desks... a reminder of their schoolhouse days. Pioneer wooden artifacts attracted the attention of many visitors. Other displays included photographs, text books, Canadiana books and historical booklets. The ever-popular BBQ even attracted a Halton Region Police officer for lunch! Many thanks to Anne Choate Little, Melanie Wark, Morgan Oliver, Marilyn Feth, Kevin Little, Margaret Wark, Gordon Kaitting, and Ross Wark for their contributions throughout the day.
