Gilberts: Sharing fond memories of ‘The Faire at the Forks’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty years ago, on the first weekend of October in 2006, the last Heritage Days – The Faire at the Forks was held in Thames Grove Conservation Area. This major festival in Chatham ran for 15 years and we were its co-creators. So, I hope you will indulge us if we engage in a little personal reminiscing. We already had been involved in a re-enactment of the Battle of the Thames in 1988, in Thamesville. We had been approached by some people a few years before that to organize an event for the 175
Gilberts: Huffman’s Corners once boasted school and church; none exist today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last June we joined a roomful of people at Talbot Trail Place in Blenheim to hear Sally Huffman-Brown talk about the history hidden in our homes. Her website is called Beyond My Boundaries (beyondmyboundaries.ca) and she has a wide range of things she talks about in it. But that night in June, she focused on two homes located on Erieau Road. One of them was a Huffman home and the family there had its roots in Huffman’s Corners. So today, we’d like to talk more about that community, which no long
Gilberts: Chatham-Kent Heritage Network unveiling final plaques celebrating community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During the next few weeks will see the unveiling of four new Chatham-Kent Heritage Network plaques. On Thanksgiving weekend, when the network unveils one in Dawn Mills, it will be the last of the plaques that are part of this initiative. During the past four years, the network has installed 30 plaques around our municipality. We want to applaud the efforts of the (mostly) volunteer historians who have been presenting and preserving heritage in all the communities that make up Chatham-Kent for ma
Gilberts: Some old rules for teachers and students still relevant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just in time for another school year to begin, we are dipping into The Rural Schools of Tilbury East Township, researched and written by Marianne Lucio and Julie Magerka. We highly recommend this book. There are two inserts in the book. The first, 1915 – Rules for Teachers, is the kind of thing you may have seen before. We used to have one of these, in plaque form, on our wall at home. It comes from the Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum, and it includes such things as “You will not marry during
Gilberts: Precious pictures and memories of rural schools preserved (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Jim always reminded me, I am a “city girl.” That’s kind of a laugh because I grew up mainly in Chatham, hardly a big city, but what he means by that is that I didn’t grow up on the farm like he did. And I didn’t go to a one-room country schoolhouse like he did. So I don’t have personal memories of a schoolhouse like that, but I know that, like Jim, many of you who read this column do have personal memories of the rural schools of Chatham-Kent. So many of you may be interested to know about a
