Seguin Township Museum keeps local history alive
Step into the past at the Seguin Township Museum or take a stroll around the beautiful grounds.
Artificats from the Township's past are nestled in an old log church, which later became Humphrey school house, S.S.7.
Located between the villages of Rosseau and Humphrey at the corner of Highway 141 and Clear Lake Road, the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, from July to September. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
This year the museum has a new photo exhibit featuring local industries and services of the past that residents and visitors alike depended on. Copies of photos can be purchased along with local historical books.
In addition to photographs, there are also old household and farming implements, as well as artifacts from the logging days.
The museum has been open since 1975.
Orrville Canada Day festivities offer a variety of family events
Fun for the whole family is featured at the Orrville Community Centre Sunday, July 3, when Seguin Township hosts its Canada Day celebrations.
The party takes place from noon until 5 p.m. with plenty of games and activities planned for children. Rock 95 radio will be broadcasting live on site.
Guests can look forward to games of chance, a dunk tank, line dancing, silent auction, a heritage display by the Christie historical association, contests in the Christie library, a chance to meet visiting dignitaries and an antique car show. A boat licensing booth will also be set up during the day.
