www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, October 22, 2015 | 36 History book captures past and recent memories by Julia Le Oakville Beaver Staff The Underground Railroad, Oakville's roots in the history of Erchless Estate and the personal recollections of residents about growing up in Oakville are among the many memories -- old and new -- captured in Oakville Memories: Old & New ­ Let's Reminisce. The 254-page, soft-cover edition captures history from a different perspective -- that of long-time and newer residents, who wanted to share their take on the place they call home. Mary Davidson of the Oakville Historical Society (OHS) credits fellow member June Hitchcox for spearheading the project that has been five years in the making. The long-time resident said it was felt the OHS publications had focused on Oakville's early history to date. "She thought it might be nice to have a kind of folksy, more anecdotal type of book from the people who live here, of their memories of living in Oakville."

The response was overwhelmingly positive with stories that cover the1930s through 2000s. The book shares how many buildings have disappeared or have been repurposed, how the Oakville landscape has changed and how opportunities for sports and recreation have developed. The chapters also cover news and headlines, lifestyles and traditions and the men and women who went abroad, said Davidson. "We just felt it would be nice to get it out there," she said, noting a goal was to share Oakville's past to make everyone feel welcome. Davidson added the OHS is thankful for the residents and former residents who shared their stories. It is now accepting new stories for the next book it hopes to publish.
