www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday August 30, 2006 - 11 Past comes alive at Trafalgar 200 Family Heritage Day Meet some of the oldest and most colourful characters from north Oakville's past, take a lesson in a one-room schoolhouse, watch a blacksmith at work and make pioneer crafts ­ those are just some of the things you can enjoy at the Trafalgar Township Historical Society's (TTHS) Family Day Celebration on Saturday, Sept. 16. The celebration that takes place from 11 - 4 p.m. at four locations around Palermo (Dundas St. and Bronte Rd.) will include strolling actors in period costume and antique autos, performances by various local groups, a farmers' market and a chance to try writing with a quill pen. The day has been designed to be fun and interactive and to help bring Oakville's history alive for a new generation, says TTHS president Gord Kaitting. The activities that commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the establishment of Trafalgar Township will be held in the parking lot of Anson's restaurant (southwest corner of Bronte and Dundas), at Palermo United Church (northwest corner), at the one room schoolhouse a few lots east of the church and at the pioneer cemetery across the street from the schoolhouse. Visitors are invited to park at the St. Joseph's Portuguese Centre on the east side of Bronte Road just south of Dundas where you will be met by a TTHS member who will give you a program for all the scheduled activities. "This is an excellent event for families with children, residents with ties to Trafalgar Township and newcomers to Oakville who would like to know more about the historic roots of their community," says Kaitting. Historical Society members have been busy refurbishing Palermo's one-room schoolhouse for the event. Many donations including a teacher's desk, children's desks, old schoolbooks and other items have been received. Kaitting notes that Benjamin Moore generously donated all the paint for the schoolhouse. "We invite the entire community to come out and celebrate Trafalgar Township's 200th birthday," says Kaitting.
