Glengarry Rambles Tour - Part 3

We’ve got some great news to share! The Glengarry Pioneer Museum, Glengarry County Archives, and the Glengarry, Nor’Westers & Loyalist Museum have partnered together to bring you the third instalment of the hugely successful historic “Glengarry Rambles” bus tour! Having previously covered Kenyon and Lochiel Townships, the third edition of this tour will move southwards to LANCASTER TOWNSHIP.
Led by Allan J. MacDonald, County Archivist, registered attendees will get to explore what was once known as the Lake Township and will discover the location of Elbow Bend and Church Hill (can you guess where?). Some highlights of this tour include one of Ontario’s eleven bicentennial farms; Glengarry’s poultry capital; the North Lancaster Races; the home of a Rhodes Scholar.

Tickets are not available for sale just yet (they will only be available after the Highland Games) but mark your calendars! This time we’ll have FOUR tour dates that attendees can choose from: September 28th, September 29th, October 5th, or October 6th. For now, save the date and we’ll follow up with more information.
