Wrapping up a very fun summer full of events!

Our July event took us to Queen’s University, a recent FHF award winner to view the renovated John Deutsch University Centre & Mitchell Hall. In August members got to tour both Babcock Mill in Odessa and Macpherson House in Napanee! We nished out that month and the summer meeting potential new members at the Senior’s Expo. What a well packed summer of historic places.

Stay tuned as we have more events planned for the fall and winter. Become a member so you don’t miss them! (only $45 for adults, $10 for students)
