The Society was the beneficiary of a $25,000 bequest from the family of the late Laurie Hill, wishing to acknowledge Laurie’s great love of the area and its history. The bequest came as pleasant surprise and will give the Society some much needed financial resources to continue the work of preserving our local heritage. We are very grateful to Laurie’s brother, Les Hill, for this kind gesture to the society and wish to acknowledge our thanks to him.
For Heritage Week, the Old Mine Surgery will be open, so come along and meet some of the members of the Historical Society and find out more about this unique area in which we live.
