Notes

Ralph and Eugenia Bangay founded and operated Memory Junction Museum at 60 Maplewood Avenue, Brighton, Ontario from 1995 to 2017. Ralph's love of history and astute eye for memorabilia, including artifacts, photos, deeds, and documents soon created a gathering place for Brighton history. There are a number people standing on the dock as well as sitting in a boat.
