Join members of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society as they take you on a tour of two historical cemeteries in Hazeldean.
The tour will be led by Roger Young, a well-known local historian and descendant of the original Talbot Settlers of Hazeldean as he shares the history of two local cemeteries.
The visit starts with the Old Union Cemetery at 21 Young Road, behind the Masonic Hall and across the Street from St. Paul’s Anglican Church. A short drive will take you to the second stop at Maple Grove Cemetery located at the Corner of McCurdy Drive and Maple Grove Road.
You will learn about the beginnings of settlement in Hazeldean and the lives of the early settlers who came from Ireland and now rest in their new land. Roger will discuss particular individuals of interest and their lives and times. The cemeteries will be examined from a historical standpoint.
The tour will start at 1.30 p.m. at the Old Union (Pioneer) Cemetery.
