Join us in celebrating Westfield’s 60th Anniversary on Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16, from 12 PM to 4 PM each day. The village will be bustling with activity to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee anniversary of Westfield’s opening.
A new interactive garden, created to celebrate the occasion, will be open, along with an art installation by Tracey-Mae Chambers. Tracey-Mae is a Metis installation artist and a member of the Metis Nation of Ontario. Her works aim to broach decolonization with viewers and staff, and she hopes to use her work to bridge the gap between settlers and Indigenous, the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit of Canada.
Many historical buildings will be open with costumed interpreters and demonstrations, and visitors can enjoy the all-day musical entertainment. Hop on a steam traction engine wagon ride, or go on one of our hourly nature tours through the conservation area. The General Store and Gift Shop will also be open for sodas, candies, souvenirs, gifts, and more!
Regular admission fees apply, and a reservation is not required.
The History of Westfield
The land on which Westfield sits was purchased in 1960, and the village opened to the public on June 15, 1964. The Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) began managing Westfield in 1987. In 2015, HCA began acquiring additional lands at Westfield, totalling 58 hectares (144 acres). This included City of Hamilton and private lands; the final purchase was completed in 2016. The area was then officially renamed Westfield Heritage Village Conservation Area and is now approximately 204 hectares (503 acres) in size and features natural woodlands, plantation forests, provincially significant wetlands, meadow areas, and cultural heritage features.
New Logo!
A new Westfield Heritage Village Conservation Area logo has been created to celebrate this momentous occasion and aims to reflect Westfield as a whole. The new logo highlights the two key elements that make up Westfield; the trail and trees symbolize the conservation area, while the stylized Bamberger House represents the heritage village. The logo’s colours are taken from the HCA logo and branding and reflect its place and importance at HCA.

Join us in celebrating Westfield’s 60th Anniversary on Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16, from 12 PM to 4 PM each day. The village will be bustling with activity to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee anniversary of Westfield’s opening.
A new interactive garden, created to celebrate the occasion, will be open, along with an art installation by Tracey-Mae Chambers. Tracey-Mae is a Metis installation artist and a member of the Metis Nation of Ontario. Her works aim to broach decolonization with viewers and staff, and she hopes to use her work to bridge the gap between settlers and Indigenous, the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit of Canada.
Many historical buildings will be open with costumed interpreters and demonstrations, and visitors can enjoy the all-day musical entertainment. Hop on a steam traction engine wagon ride, or go on one of our hourly nature tours through the conservation area. The General Store and Gift Shop will also be open for sodas, candies, souvenirs, gifts, and more!
Regular admission fees apply, and a reservation is not required.
The History of Westfield
The land on which Westfield sits was purchased in 1960, and the village opened to the public on June 15, 1964. The Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) began managing Westfield in 1987. In 2015, HCA began acquiring additional lands at Westfield, totalling 58 hectares (144 acres). This included City of Hamilton and private lands; the final purchase was completed in 2016. The area was then officially renamed Westfield Heritage Village Conservation Area and is now approximately 204 hectares (503 acres) in size and features natural woodlands, plantation forests, provincially significant wetlands, meadow areas, and cultural heritage features.
New Logo!
A new Westfield Heritage Village Conservation Area logo has been created to celebrate this momentous occasion and aims to reflect Westfield as a whole. The new logo highlights the two key elements that make up Westfield; the trail and trees symbolize the conservation area, while the stylized Bamberger House represents the heritage village. The logo’s colours are taken from the HCA logo and branding and reflect its place and importance at HCA.

Celebrate the coming of spring at these 10 maple syrup festivals in Toronto and the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

Gone With The Family

|
Of all the harbingers of spring in central Canada, my favourite has to be the start of maple syrup season. Maple syrup is, of course, symbolic of Canada and trips to the sugar bush are a spring-time tradition for many families. I have many fond memories of both childhood trips to the sugar bush and of visits to maple syrup festivals in the GTA with my own kids.
Canada produces approximately 78% of the world’s supply of maple syrup (17.41 million gallons in 2022). The vast majority of that is produced in Québec, but it is also produced in lesser quantities in parts of Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
It is primarily Sugar Maples that are tapped as the sweetness of the sap from this species of tree produces the tasty maple syrup that everyone loves. The sap generally starts running around the beginning of March when cold overnight temperatures give rise to warm, sunny days and above-freezing temperatures and continues until the trees are in bud and spring well underway.
Organized Maple Syrup Festivals are a popular way for Canadians to celebrate the onset of the sugaring season and can be found across the Greater Toronto Area. These are 10 of the best maple syrup festivals and experiences in the GTA.
You Might Also Enjoy: 11 of Canada’s Best Winter Festivals to Celebrate the Season
1. Maple Town at Mountsberg
Maple Town has been making maple magic at Mountsberg Conservation Area for over 40 years featuring 150-200 year old sugar maples and a quaint forest village where maple syrup is made and served over piping hot pancakes.
Visitors to Maple Town can learn about the history of syrup making as well as tree tapping, sap collection, syrup making and the Sugar Maple trees. Sampling maple syrup and sugar, eating maple taffy made on snow, and enjoying fresh pancakes and other maple treats by the fire are part of the fun experience!
New in 2024 is the Sugar Ranger Challenge with six challenges for little ones to complete on a self-guided tour through the sugar bush to earn an official Sugar Ranger certificate.
Additional activities at Mountsberg include visiting the animal barn and Raptor Centre, playing on the Natural Playground, enjoying a horse-drawn wagon ride or participating in fun and educational workshops. (Some activities have an additional fee.)

When: March 2 – April 7, 2024 (weekends, holidays and March Break) 9:30 am – 5 pm

2. Bronte Creek Provincial Park Maple Syrup Festival
At Bronte Creek Provincial Park’s popular Maple Syrup Festival, friendly tour guides dressed in Victorian-era costumes lead visitors on a tour of Spruce Lane Farm providing a history of maple syrup production in the area and demonstrating some of the techniques for tapping trees and making maple syrup and candy.
Bronte Creek acknowledges that the creation of maple syrup was learned from Anishinaabe people who call this land home and that Ziigwan, as early spring is known in Anishinaabemowin, is a celebratory time of gratitude that aligns with the maple sap collection season.
Tractor drawn wagons shuttle visitors to the pancake house for what might be everyone’s favourite part of the festival – an opportunity to enjoy delicious pancakes and yummy sausages with maple syrup. Be sure to visit the Maple Express Shop to purchase a jug or two of maple syrup and other maple goodies to take some of the deliciousness home with you!
In addition to the Maple Syrup Festival, visitors can also enjoy the play barn, see some farm animals, and tour the 120+ year old Spruce Lane Farmhouse which is a beautifully restored glimpse into the life of a local fruit farmer at the turn of the century.
Where: 1219 Burloak Drive, Oakville
When: Every weekend in March and the week of March Break, 9:30 am – 3:00 pm
Cost: $18 per car (food and purchases extra)

3. Maple Syrup Festival at Kortright
During the Maple Syrup Festival at Kortright, visitors can enjoy demonstrations, activities and real maple syrup! The demonstrations will show the methods used by both early European settlers and Indigenous peoples to make maple syrup and how modern evaporators are used today. There will be a variety of activities and events and visitors may also make use of the park’s facilities and hiking trails. Visitors can enjoy free horse and wagon rides and pancake meals and other maple products will be available at an additional cost.
There will also be Maple Syrup Evenings at Kortright every Friday and Saturday throughout the Festival from 6-9 pm. Evening visitors can learn how maple syrup has been made throughout the ages while enjoying campfires and a quiet walk through the forest on trails illuminated by lanterns.
Where: 9550 Pine Valley Drive, Woodbridge

4. Maple Syrup in the Park at Terra Cotta Conservation Area
Celebrate maple season at the annual Maple Syrup in the Park festival and enjoy fun outdoor activities for the whole family! The schedule is packed with activities including educational stations with historical and modern demonstrations of how sap turns into syrup, Sacred Fire Chats to learn about Indigenous culture, a blacksmith demonstration, scavenger hunts and more.
Although there’s an additional cost, the warm maple taffy is a must as is a visit to the Pancake House to fill up on pancakes with real maple syrup! For an additional fee you can also reserve a wagon ride to the sugar bush rather than walking (recommended for families with children aged 12 and under and tickets are limited).

Metis artist. Site specific art installations.

I am a Métis installation artist and a citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario. My family is from several traditional Métis communities . I am from both the Vasseur-Longlade and Cadieux-Evans families.
I am traveling Canada creating site specific art installations at residential school historical sites, cultural centres, museums, art galleries and other public spaces.
The goal of these works is to broach the subject of decolonization with viewers and staff. The installations are created with large premade crochet, and knit pieces made with red yarn. These are created both inside and outside and weather the elements quite successfully. The installations can be in place for as long as the venue would like. Once dismantled the work itself will be returned to me and it will be reworked and repurposed at another site somewhere in the country.
Many (but not all) of these public spaces serve to present a colonial viewpoint and primarily speak about the settlers who arrived and lived here but not the Indigenous people that were displaced along the way. The decolonization of such places is a ponderous task and must be shouldered collectively. The discussion of reconciliation and decolonization is hard to start and harder still to maintain. Therefore, I am hoping to use my work to help bridge the gap between settlers and Indigenous, the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit of Canada by creating art that is approachable and non-confrontational so we can start. As I am part Métis and European I am conscious of the privilege my 'whiteness' affords me and bridging this gap is in fact a form of self education and self healing. I have entitled this body of work #hopeandhealingcanada

We’re at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario (about an hour west of Toronto) engaging with some living history… and getting our run on. The quaint heritage village, open from April to October each year, allows leashed dogs to roam about and admittedly Victor skirts this rule a few times. But we practically have the place to ourselves.

Picture a clear fall day with leaves changing colour, 18th and 19th century buildings lining a winding pathway and my little black dog, Victor, racing circles around it all.
We’re at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario (about an hour west of Toronto) engaging with some living history… and getting our run on.
The quaint heritage village, open from April to October each year, allows leashed dogs to roam about and admittedly Victor skirts this rule a few times. But we practically have the place to ourselves.
We’re here the last day the Hamilton Conservation Authority site is open for the season. We’ve come to trot among the pumpkins lining the wooded walking trails surrounding the village and breath in the strong scent of history.
That’s right: Victor loves the smell of old stuff and three centuries is really old. (Check out his old fort visit here)
Opened in 1964, This living history museum is about bringing early Canadian culture alive. It’s a collection of 35 historical buildings most restored to specific decades ranging from 1775 to 1925, moved here from locations around Southern Ontario and staffed with costumed interpreters.
Centuries reside side-by-side. A colour-coded map directs visitors from the living conditions in the late 18th century to the early 20th. For instance, the Queen’s Rangers’ Cabin, built in 1792, was originally located in Dundas and is one of the oldest cabins in Ontario.
The Mountsberg Church was built in 1854 and move here from yes, Mountsberg and yes, you can actually rent it for weddings.
Other buildings, like the Victorian-style Hardware Store and Gillen House Greenhouse, are replicas.
Victor’s favourite – because he can run up the stairs to the platform – is the 1896 Jerseyville Railway Station that once saw trains travelling between Hamilton and Brantford pass by its doors. Today, Victor’s feeling the PEI vibe, because this station became a set featured in the Anne of Green Gables movie (Amazon affiliate) and the television series Anne of Avonlea.
Ultimately, it’s the intense smells of autumn’s rotting leaves on the trails and history’s aging barn board that keeps Victor thrilled. And he’s surprisingly happy, though I think the attention paid to accurate historic restoration is lost on him.
TRAVEL GUIDE: Westfield Heritage Village, 1049 Kirkwall Road, Rockton, Ontario, Canada is open daily April to October, but the buildings are only open on weekends and holidays, 12:30 to 4:00 pm. Dogs (leashed) are welcome and bring your own picnic. Admission is $14 per adult on weekends, $4 weekdays and dogs are free.

A good Thursday to all…..8:30 am and already 82° here this morning. High today to hit 99° with a Heat Index of 111°…………..thank gawd for AC! Not doing a thing outside today …… nothing! Have already set the mister on the AC compressor outside and taken out the garbage…..my list is cleared.
Disappointed that the lads didn’t prevail yesterday over Croatia, but such is a game. Someone wins…..someone loses. It is just a game. Someone mentioned cricket…..my cats play with crickets, they like to play soccer with crickets…….maybe I have English cats.
No big plans today….feeling 100% more my normal, but know that with this heat wave, pushing anything would knock me down very quickly. Will hibernate in the studio today….still working on my bananas and got some info on my grandmother’s father from an English genealogy webiste that I need to follow up on. His name was Edward Bowan Berwick, born in Middlesex in 1841. Have been trying to trace my grandmother’s lineage back to England, but kept hitting walls. The oral tradition is that he was from a family of means and during the Civil War, on a business trip to buy cotton from the South for the family business, he never returned to England. One version is that his uncle was Lord Berwick and that he left a wife and child to stay in the States…..another is that his family disowned him. None of which, has ever been confirmed with any official verification. He just is….and I would like to find out what the real story is. Hopefully, this lead will actually lead to something.
Time to get moving…..burning daylight. Breakfast first. BBL
Be good, do good……..stay cool folks, stay hydrated.
Steve.
Pain and heartaches aren't options in life........misery is a choice.
We’ve been watching “Anne with an E,” on Netflix. It’s an Anne of Green Gables series, and we love it.
Lynn, is Westfield Heritage Village in Hamilton the village you work in? Parts of the series are filmed there.
Steve, glad you”re feeling better. Maybe the news has a negative physical effect on you.
Geoff has helped me with my ancestry too. He should probably go into business. He’s that good.
For anyone interested, I have been following a ketogenic diet for about six weeks, with the exception of wine, and it has helped reduce inflammation and pain considerably. Also, losing unwanted fat.
Bill
Be kinder than necessary
Yes, Bill, thats the one! Although its hard to recognize it most of the time. Sometimes our volunteers are extras. And it is quite far north west of Hamilton, but comes under the Hamilton Conservation Authority, unusual for a museum. Glad you are enjoying the series!
You can spend hours in that research, Steve, its a lot of fun! Geoff is very knowledgeable. Ive hit a similar wall back in the early 1800s, looking for my GGgrandfathers origins. He seems ro have materialized in Norfolk with the christening of his son, but I guess he was around long before that! And we know he was in the Navy, but not who his parents were, or where he was born. I guess im lucky to have his naval record, but they are very short on personal details there. Good luck with your searches.
How lovely to have a swim, Char! :envy: Any chance you are coming down this way?:)
Cheers, Lynn

Good afternoon! I finally got to the grocery store, and the cupboard is no longer bare.
Partly cloudy, but only a slight chance of rain. I will have to turn the sprinklers back on before Friday. We are up to 99 degrees again with high humidity.
Each day, we wake up to a new, strange world making our heads spin.
Steve, I have been able to trace my father’s family back to Poland in 1763. That relative’s chunk of DNA is still being passed on down through the family taking up half of the chromosome. It has some strong staying power to go through 7 generations. It is a fun endeavor to find that 255 years ago, our family was living in Poland and moved to the US in the late 1890s. The only reason I have these records is they lived in Western Poland through the Catholic Church near Poznan. It was occupied by the Germans in WWII. My mother’s family came from Russian occupied Poland near Warsaw. There are no records to find! I live in hope that one day the church records will be updated. The biggest surprise is that my maternal line is Irish/Scottish. Tradesmen settled in Poland, and one of their daughters married a native in the early 1800s. The Poles were irate that those foreigners were taking over their jobs. The English Version of Ancestry is far better than the one we have to use. Geoff is an expert!
Have a wonderful evening. I bought deli roast beef that I will serve with gravy and mashed potatoes tonight. We will have enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.

Well…Our afternoon thunder storms have rolled in….not a whole lot of rain, but enough to cool it down a little and thankfully the cloud cover is hanging around…no turkish steam bath today.
Mat studio chair gave up the ghost late this morning….something popped and it has a very uncomfortable permanent lean to it now. Checked it out and the metal plate underneath has cracked……it has been a good and faithful chair for the last 6 years, I shall give it a proper adieu ceremonial sendoff to the dump. Picked up a task chair with mesh back at Office Depot on sale that I think will work out fine……good thing I got it before Trump’s tariffs kicked in….it’s manufactured in China. Has great lumbar support….way better than the old one.
Geoff….I appreciate the offer for help. I’ll let you know what if anything of this lead actually has any substance to it and then I may pick your knowledge in which direction to go from there. I’ve pretty much populated our family tree with information going back to my 5G grandfather (Tetrick) who was a Prussian mercenary in Gen. Washington’s army in the Revolutionary War and stayed here after the war. It is quite a large tree, if I print it out, by about the 3rd generation I’m to 3 pages and in total it is about 8′ in length. By my father’s generation (6th) it goes to 4 pages wide…….I very rarely print it out as it is an all day task. Much easier to just print out the data on 81/2 x11.
Time to get dinner started………..

Pain and heartaches aren't options in life........misery is a choice.

The 7th Annual Telling Tales Festival:
An Awesome Celebration of Literacy
Canada’s FREE children’s literary festival happened on Sunday, September 20th at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario – and it was AWESOME! A crowd of over 7,000 children and their families were entertained by over 25 of Canada’s best children’s authors, illustrators, storytellers and musicians.
The Book of Awesome author Neil Pasricha launched his brand new children’s book Awesome is Everywhere to the world during the Telling Tales Festival. In fact, only those attending had a chance to buy an advance copy before it hits bookshelves next week!
David Bouchard shared stories about his Metis culture and treated the crowd to his flute playing. Poet Sheree Fitch mesmerized the crowds with her tongue twisting rhymes. Werner Zimmermann offered illustration lessons to fans young and old. Richard Scrimger shared writing tips and advice to fans. TVOKids’ Ranger Kara kicked off the Reading Rangers Book Club Tour with a special reading. It was an exciting day of sharing and experiencing stories.
The Telling Tales Festival is really a celebration of literacy. "Our goal is to foster a love of reading by exposing kids to authors and illustrators," explains Susan Jasper, Telling Tales Founder and Chair. "The presenters on our stages are literary stars – kids have a chance to ask them questions, listen to advice and even get their autographs."
This year’s theme was "Let your imagination soar". During the Telling Tales Festival books and stories jump off the page; you can travel into a story, meet characters and even step back in time. It’s all about creating fond memories around storytelling – whether it’s a story told in a book, through pictures, in music, or through movement.
The Telling Tales Festival is a day where kids can talk to authors, get drawing tips from illustrators, and sing and dance along with musicians. It’s also a fun family day to simply play and explore. There were so many fun family activities including costumed characters, a giant Book Swap and Shop, Bryan Prince Bookseller onsite book shop, children’s activity centre, contests and prizes. Plus, in the large meadow there were special birthday crafts to celebrate Hamilton Best Start’s 10th anniversary, an opportunity to try different musical instruments, and fun activities to get the kids moving with the YMCA.
To see a complete list of all the presenters and for more information, please visit the Telling Tales website at www.tellingtales.org.

Susie Smythe and Peter Lloyd have been hard at work this summer giving some tender loving care to the Potts Spinning Wheel Shop at Westfield. George Potts built the Potts spinning wheel manufactory on his property in 1866 which was located in Norfolk County. George Potts had acquired the patent rights to "Doolittle's Improved Spinning Machine." By May 1976 the building had been moved to Westfield and it was opened to the public. This coming week Westfield staff and volunteers will get their first glimpse at the results of the hard work and the Potts building will re-open as a business making apple crates. Photos by Melissa Fletcher.
Enjoy the warm weather at Westfield and see how various fibres are processed. The weaver will be working the mid-19th century barn loom. Master spinners will be spinning raw wool into yarn. Perhaps you would like to try your hand at carding sheep's wool or use the drop spindle. The Cambridge Spinners and Weavers will also be on hand with their natural dye baths. Visit the Tailor Shop or watch a demonstration showing how flax plant fibres are transformed into the raw material used to make linen fabric.
Special Tour of Dundurn Castle’s Kitchen Garden a Great Learning Opportunity for Westfield Volunteers and Staff
Several Westfield volunteers and staff members were treated to a wonderful tour of the amazing kitchen garden at Dundurn Castle today. Victoria, one of Dundurn’s knowledgeable and passionate historic gardeners, shared her wealth of botanical knowledge with everyone during this in-depth tour. Bed after bed of beautiful and fragrant fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs were admired, inspected, tasted and photographed by the enthusiastic group. This 1.5 acre plot was originally managed by Sir Allan MacNab’s long time gardener William Reid, and has been lovingly and authentically restored by Dundurn. Now in its 6th growing season, this garden is a unique way to learn about the growing methods and preferences of the mid-19th century. Many thanks to Victoria and Dundurn National Historic Site for providing this opportunity for Westfield.
The hard work put in by Scott and Liz is paying off at the Lockhart Farm. Westfield is open each Sunday from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. and the volunteers are ready to show off what they have been working on during the summer months. Come see the quilt on the frame at the Gillen House, check out the wood working at the Cabinetmaker shop or watch the spinners and weavers at the Marr Shop.

Number 5 Company, Crown Forces North America depicts British Army infantrymen from 1815. Its members are drawn from War of 1812 re-enacting units across southern Ontario who will be travelling to Belgium in June to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. They are here today to help prepare for their trip by performing authentic early 19th century military drill and musket firings.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned from exile, marshalled his French forces and again threatened Europe. The British and their Prussian allies together defeated the French on the rain soaked farm fields of Belgium near Brussels on the 18th of June.
There probably weren’t many Canadians, if any, in the British forces at Waterloo in 1815, but in the 200th anniversary re-enactment of the battle over 100 Canadian re-enactors will join the British Forces. In preparation for the expedition, members of Number 5 Company of the Crown Forces North America will be training at Westfield Heritage Village in Hamilton near Rockton. The members of Number 5 Company come from Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. They have been training together as a unit at Fort York and Fort George since January. All 16 of the red coated soldiers in the Company portray infantry and are members of various British, War of 1812, re-enactment regiments.
At Westfield, on Sunday the 24th, they will be practicing early 19th century battle drill, manoeuvres, and tactics. The uniforms they wear and the weapons they use, are exactly the same as the British equipment of the period. The re-enacted Battle of Waterloo will be fought on the same ground as the original battle and will be the largest Napoleonic era battle re-enactment ever held with over 5000 infantry, cavalry and artillery on the field.
Members of the public are welcome to visit Westfield Heritage Village on the 24th and witness the soldiers of Number 5 Company practice. There will be demonstrations of black powder musketry and members of the re-enactment group will be pleased to answer questions and discuss Napoleonic era battle tactics.
Westfield is a stunning collection of over 30 historical buildings which has made Westfield one of the most interesting historical destinations in Ontario. Carefully restored and staffed with costumed interpreters, the buildings capture the true charm and spirit of early Canadian culture. Westfield is located at 1049 Kirkwall Road (formerly Regional Road 552), off Highway 8 in Rockton. For more information, call 519-621-8851 or e-mail: westfield@speedway.ca Westfield is open Sundays and holidays from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. April to October. Special events run from March to December, hours may vary.
Conducted by Hamilton Philharmonic Cellist Marsha Moffitt, the Mercoledi Strings Orchestra performed at Westfield for a large and appreciative crowd on Victoria Day. This was the orchestra's third performance at Westfield.

The twenty-first century poses many challenges for the historic house museum in Ontario, big or small, run by a local council or non-profit. These museums are increasingly facing tighter budgets, declining volunteer numbers and higher operating costs. However the twenty-first century is not all bleak for historic house museums, as there are some opportunities for the sector as well. These mainly take the form of filling the increasing tourism demand for the province and a call for greater co-operation between house museums. Inspired by the National Trust of the United Kingdom, this study seeks to analyse and evaluate the management of the historic house museum in Ontario. Additionally, this study will also suggest a National Trust framework adapted to a provincial scale that would better facilitate the growing tourism demand and offer a network of historic house museums. In order to achieve this, new research into the historic house museum and the needs of the museum community was undertaken. This took the form of collecting data on the 110 properties considered in this study and distributing a survey to seventy house museums in the province. The collated results will inform how a National Trust model could be created. By examining four other National Trusts, those of Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Ireland, some of the challenges that confront such and organisation will become evident. It is likely that an Ontario model would similarly face such problems, and so by exploring how these Trusts have addressed these issues will also be beneficial. By working together, the house museums of Ontario should be better equipped to cope with the challenges of the future.

Open-air museum in Ontario, Canada.
The Westfield Heritage Village is a heritage centre located just west of Rockton, Ontario, Canada. The village contains over 30 historic buildings on a 3.4-square-kilometre (840-acre) site. It is operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.[1]
In 1961, the Westfield Pioneer Village Association was established by two Brantford high school teachers, D. Glenn Kilmer and Golden Macdonnell, who purchased land near Rockton, Ontario, using their own money. Doreen Kilmer, a teacher and wife of Glenn Kilmer wasn't part of the Association. However, she participated equally in the development and management of Westfield. It acquired the original 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land. Their goal was to save heritage buildings that were in danger of being destroyed and also to create a hands-on educational facility to teach pioneer life. Glenn Kilmer's father had been a builder and owner of Kilmer Lumber Company in Aylmer Ontario (subsequently sold to Beaver Lumber Co). Golden Macdonnell was a science teacher who had a keen interest in the history of Ontario. Both men were able to reconstruct the donated buildings which arrived at Westfield. Golden built the forges from fieldstone on the site and Doreen managed the General Store. The original name of the facility was the Westfield Pioneer Village. The Village unofficially opened in June 1963 and officially opened in 1964. Westfield Village was open to the public on weekends in June, September and October and during the summer holidays, seven days a week from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 pm. It provided jobs for students as well as ladies in the area who operated school tours. There were 12 buildings open at this time staffed by students.
In May 1968 the former Wentworth County purchased the village for CAD $32,700. Ownership transferred to the Wentworth County on November 1, 1968.
The name was changed to Wentworth Heritage Village in 1981 because much of the collection was not of the pioneer era.
The village ceased operation on September 3, 1984 due to a financial crisis. Over the next few years various ideas were discuss ranging from moving the facility to creating a theme park.
Starting in 1985, several scenes from the Anne of Green Gables movie series were shot in the village. Including buildings such as the saw mill, church, train station and general store.
A five-year redevelopment began in 1990. The goal was to create a "special events theme centre" and the facility was renamed the Westfield Heritage Centre.
In 2010 the village received a substantial grant from the TD (Toronto Dominion) bank to plant several groves of fruit trees and construct two beehives. As of May 2010 one was in operation and awaiting the arrival of more bees to enlarge the colony. A second beehive is being planned. The aim of the apiary program is to illustrate the importance of the European honey bee (Apius Mellifera ) to the settlers and to raise awareness for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) .
The Museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.

Westfield Heritage Village hosts its annual Star Party on Friday, May 13th from 7 to 10pm and invites you to experience the wonders of the night sky through the eyes of trained astronomers. Presented in partnership with the Royal Astronomical Society and McMaster University, this dazzling event will provide an opportunity to learn about the night sky through a fun and interactive evening of exploration and discovery.
You will be able to meet experts from McMaster University’s Let’s Talk Science and Sidewalk Astronomy groups and well as the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Hamilton Centre.
Once the sun sets, stargazing will be a highlight of this evening, and visitors will have opportunities to peer through both antique and modern telescopes. Under the guidance of a member of the Royal Astronomical society, you will be able to look deep into the sky through the rare 1884 Bell refracting telescope. Astronomers using modern telescopes will also be stationed in the Village Green, where they will introduce visitors to modern-day astronomy techniques. Old or new, the view through these telescopes is sure to take your breath away.
In addition to stargazing, there will be lots of other activities happening during the evening. You can watch A Trip to the Moon, a unique 1902 film by French filmmaker Georges Méliès, make a charming take-home craft in the one room schoolhouse, buy sweet treats, including star cookies, at the General Store, and watch a magical traditional shadow play that tells the stories of popular constellations. You can even take your picture on a Paper Moon!
Outdoor activities and star viewing will be weather permitting. Only select historical buildings will be open for this program. Historic buildings will close at 9:00pm and stargazing will continue until 10:00pm.

History
D. Glenn Kilmer and Golden (Goldie) L. MacDonell, two Brantford high school teachers, purchased 30 acres in October, 1960 at the site which later became Westfield heritage Village. They envisioned a unique project which would develop a pioneer village as a non-profit educational institution to preserve and present the 19th century rural life in Upper Canada. Their vision became a reality when Westfield was officially opened to the public on June 15, 1964.
Westfield Heritage Village is now owned by the City of Hamilton and managed by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.

Step back into time and experience pioneer life at Westfield. Spread over 130 hectares Westfield is a re-enactment of days gone by. Period actors live and work in town and allow visitors to join the community with many hands-on activities. The town has a stunning collection of over 35 historical buildings and brilliantly projects the spirit of early Canadian culture in Southern Ontario.

Shaftesbury is the company behind the hit television series Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake Mysteries, both of which air on CBC in Canada and are seen in over 120 countries around the world.
Producing two television series that are set in Toronto 100 years ago could have proved a major challenge. Toronto is not blessed with abundant historical buildings and, in many cases, they are surrounded by modern architecture, which is difficult for our cameras to avoid.
Approximately half of each series is shot in studio in Toronto, where we build our interior sets. But these interior sets need to match historical building exteriors. And our characters must have believable period spaces that allow them to be “out and about.”
Years ago, I was fortunate to serve on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Heritage Foundation (now the Ontario Heritage Trust). I knew from my time on the Board, that many communities surrounding Toronto had done a good job preserving many heritage buildings and spaces. Both Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake have filmed in many communities across Ontario – including Cambridge, Guelph, Tottenham, Rockton, Dundas, Ancaster, Shanty Bay, Milton, Hamilton, Burlington, Port Hope, Cobourg, Peterborough and St Marys. In each location, the only reason that we travel the cast and crew out of Toronto is because we need the historical buildings in those communities to make the series believable.
Murdoch Mysteries has filmed extensively over the years at the Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton – a site that includes over 30 historical buildings. According to Rondalyn Brown, manager of the Westfield Heritage Village, Murdoch Mysteries has generated extra interest among domestic and international visitors. “For us, [Murdoch] has increased our public awareness,” says Brown, “people knowing that they film here and getting to know we are here.” In addition to Westfield, both series have filmed at Halton County Radial Railway with its period railway station, trains and streetcars.
Historian Mike Filey brought the SS Keewatin, in dock in Port McNicoll, to Shaftesbury’s attention. We were excited to discover that a ship still existed here in Ontario that dated back to the time of the Titanic. So, we set a story on a period vessel and actually filmed onboard the Keewatin and at its mooring. We used visual effects and models to show the boat sailing (in our story, we also show it sinking). Eric Conroy, the ship’s captain, noticed an increase in visitors after the episode with the Keewatin aired in 2013. He estimates that 50 per cent of his ship’s annual visitors are Murdoch fans and found out about the ship from the television series. And many of these fans are from around the world. Says Conroy, “The Keewatin was virtually unknown, but using her in your season opener has introduced her to millions of viewers.” He added, “I couldn’t afford to buy the kind of advertising that [Murdoch Mysteries] has provided us.”
The Scottish Rite of Hamilton, built in 1895, has also proven to be a popular location for both Murdoch and Frankie. We have used the exterior to masquerade for a variety of places, including a 1920s police station, and the interior as a “stand-in” for the Royal Ontario Museum.
Cambridge has been a regular filming location for Murdoch since Season 1. According to Greg Durocher, President and CEO of its Commerce Department, the city has seen a number of visitors from the United States who have specifically requested information on Murdoch’s filming locations.
Murdoch Mysteries has a “standing” set as part of its studio in Scarborough, where we have built exterior streets and lanes. Frankie Drake does not have a dedicated exterior set, but we have been fortunate to use the wonderful collection of period buildings at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton, built in 1896, to create many different settings.
One of the techniques we use in recreating period spaces is to take a still of a period building and augment it with the help of computer generated images – adding buildings, vehicles, people and even streetcars.
In 2016, Shaftesbury worked with the Canadian Media Producers Association on the preparation of a Case Study on the Economic Impacts of Murdoch Mysteries. The study used Season 8 as the template to estimate the economic benefits that occurred in Ontario during the filming of the 18 episodes. Among other things, the study noted:
$24.5 million direct production expenditure in Ontario
$38.7 million total GDP
560 full-time employment
The study indicated the positive impact of Murdoch Mysteries on “film-induced tourism,” which occurs when a television program encourages viewers to visit the country or region where the show was filmed, becoming an important component of tourism marketing. In 2014, at a fan event that was held at the Murdoch studio in Scarborough, over 2,500 fans came from England, France, Spain, China and the United States to meet the cast and crew while touring the studio.
Shaftesbury set out to make Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake Mysteries because, as a company, “we love history.” Our hope was that through entertainment, we could inspire people to embrace our heritage and explore some of the amazing historical sites that Ontario has to offer, and in doing so, become advocates for the continued preservation of Ontario’s historical buildings and spaces.
Given the enormous ratings of both shows (Murdoch remains Canada’s #1 drama series), I think we just might have succeeded in doing that. [Photos courtesy of Christina Jennings]

The proposed new center, a first in Upstate in New York, will be located at the corner of Niagara and Hudson Streets on Buffalo's west side, which will be Green Energy Efficient with energy efficient amenities, will encompass approximately 38,000 square feet on three floors. The primary architectural design objective is to create a friendly, modern, and sustainable facility with as Hispanic / Latino elegance. The conceptual exterior images depict a variety of natural materials such as stone and wood, accented with bold colors- reminiscent of the Caribbean. The facades also incorporate expansive sections of glass to deliver abundant natural light and encourage visual connections to the internal activities, promoting inclusivity for a diverse user group.
Interior spaces include a museum, art gallery, café, gift shop, performing arts theater, activities space, broadcast media center, learning labs and administrative spaces- spread over the first two floors. The third floor has been allocated for tenant leased space as means of generating revenue, to support economic sustainability. The entire facility is conceived to be inherently flexible, with multi-functional spaces, and the ability to adapt to future space needs and desired programming.
In accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance for the City of Buffalo (commonly referred to as the "Green Code") a civic building should be designed to stand apart from its surroundings due to the special nature of its use as a public facility. A civic building is often among the most prominently sited and architecturally significant in a neighborhood.

Store Your Luggage around Hamilton With Bounce
Plan your next Canadian getaway to Hamilton, a port city in Ontario that sits on the western edge of Lake Ontario. It is only about 36 miles to the southwest of Toronto and is part of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The city is divided by the Niagara Escarpment, a forested ridge complete with waterfalls and conservation areas. Nature lovers will enjoy spending time exploring the Niagara Escarpment and hiking along the Bruce Trail or strolling through the Royal Botanical Gardens.
The rich military history of Hamilton is on display with the HMCS Haida residing on Lake Ontario. This former naval warship is now a floating museum. Be sure to visit southern Hamilton and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum for a bigger glimpse into Hamilton’s role in the success of the Canadian military. While not the typical college town, Hamilton does have its fair share of colleges and universities, including Redeemer University, Mohawk College, and McMaster University. While exploring the vastness of Hamilton, don’t be stuck dragging your luggage around with you. Instead, download the Bounce app and find locations near you to leave your belongings for safekeeping.

Top Things to Do
Whether you are in Hamilton for business or pleasure, you will find plenty to keep you busy. History buffs, art lovers, and adventurers love spending time in and around Hamilton.

Museums
Hamilton is steeped in history and tradition and is the perfect place to unwind for the weekend or spend a few weeks exploring this fantastic city. Filled with attractions, art galleries, museums, a castle, and even a heritage town, you will not be bored when visiting Hamilton.
Dundurn Castle: Built in 1835, this mansion located on York Boulevard is 18,000 square feet and has forty rooms. It was once the home of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, the Premier of the United Canadas from 1854 to 1856 and a railway magnate. Sign up for a guided tour of the castle that has been turned into a museum. Finish your tour by wandering through the historic Kitchen Garden that has been fully restored.
Westfield Heritage Village: Located just outside Hamilton, this heritage village is a cluster of over 30 different buildings that have been fully restored. It is part of the Westfield Heritage Village Conservation area, which is just over 500 acres. Spend the day wandering through this old village, hiking through the open fields of the conservation area, or enjoying a jaunt in the forest.
Battlefield House Museum and Park National Historic Site: Head over to Stoney Creek, a neighborhood in Hamilton and explore the Battlefield House, a living history museum dedicated to the Battle of Stoney Creek fought during the war of 1812. The Gage family lived at the house during the war and took refuge in the cellar. A tour guide will walk you through the museum, which is housed in the original homestead.
Shopping
While Hamilton may not be the fashion center of the world, you will still want to take the time and hit the malls, boutiques, and artisan shops. Spend an afternoon searching for the perfect souvenir or gifts for loved ones back home.
Hamilton City Centre: One of the oldest shopping centers in downtown, the Hamilton City Centre has a plethora of retail shops and fresh food markets. Drop by the food court filled with international choices and local fare. Once you are done shopping, make your way to the bowling alley for a game or two.
Hamilton Mall: Wander through this spacious mall and browse through the different stores. Whether you are searching for a new outfit for yourself, a gift for a loved one back home, or maybe a hostess gift if staying with friends, the Hamilton Mall is the place to go. Grab some fresh fruit or a refreshing drink when you need a break.
CF Lime Ridge: This bi-level shopping mall is the biggest in Hamilton and is the place to spend a dreary day. Wander through the shops, stop by one of the activity centers, or relax in the food court or one of the sit-down restaurants.
Dining
Eat your way through the city on a foodie tour where you will visit several eateries throughout the city in only a short amount of time. Or take your time discovering all Hamilton has to offer in the way of food. No matter what you are in the mood for, you will be able to find a fantastic eatery.

7. Take a Waterfront Stroll in Bayfront Park
Once considered something of an industrial wasteland — it was (and in some areas, still is) home to heavy industry — Hamilton's waterfront has been the subject of an ambitious regeneration scheme over the past decade or so.
Located to the west end of Hamilton Harbour, Bayfront Park is central to this revitalization and has been transformed from a former landfill site into one of the city's most attractive green spaces.
Circled by a network of level trails (including some for bikes) that connect to an additional six acres of green space at Pier 4 Park (and even farther if you follow the Waterfront Trail), it's a delightful place to visit. Highlights of the 1,800 meters of shoreline include a natural fish habitat, a sandy beach that's great for kids, a public boat launch plus a nearby marina, and plenty of parking.
There's good fishing here, too, so make sure your permit is up-to-date. If visiting in summer, check the city's events calendar for news and details of the frequent concerts and festivals held here.
Address: 200 Harbour Front Drive, Hamilton, Ontario

|
1. Standish
The Gateway to the Sunrise Side of Michigan, Standish has the small-town charm that many seek when visiting Michigan. This is the place to pick up the Huron Shores Coastal Water Trail, which follows the Sunrise Coast for 200 beautiful miles. Natural preserves and resorts line the shores, and the views out onto the lake are unbeatable, so naturally this is a favorite for kayakers and canoe pros.
2. Au Gres
Nearby, visit the river settlement of Au Gres that is home to Modern Craft Wine, where even the most hesitant wine drinker can find something to enjoy, from whites, reds, and many fruit-flavored blends. Explore the bustling downtown district featuring local shops and restaurants, and its quaint and peaceful Chapel in the Park as you travel along US-23.
3. Charity Island Lightkeepers House – Charity Island
The Charity Island Lighthouse is another scenic lighthouse along the lake. It's on Charity Island in Lake Huron, just off Au Gres. It was originally built in 1857, but it was abandoned for an easier-to-access light in the 1930s and quickly fell into disrepair. Recently, though, considerable work has been done to restore the tower and to build a new keeper's cottage, which is operated as a B&B. You can find boat tours of the island and grounds; the boat tours also pass by the unique, art deco-style Gravelly Shoal Lighthouse, which is worth a picture or two itself.
4. Tawas Point State Park – East Tawas
Tawas Point State Park is home to one of the best beaches in all of Michigan. Its wide expanses of sandy shore give way to sparkling clean water. You'll find big waves on the Lake Huron side of the beach, and calm waters on the bay-facing side. Explore the trails, or visit the historic lighthouse, and, if you brought gear, set up camp at the park and take a few days to fully experience everything.
5. Rose Valley Winery – Rose City
The excellent Rose Valley Winery is pretty close to Tawas Point. Whether you like light fruit wines, heavy and sweet dessert wines, or spicy, dry reds, there's something at Rose Valley that you're sure to love. Valley Mist Vineyards is nearby as well; sampling their distinctive wines, which come in flavors such as strawberry rhubarb and coffee, is definitely an adventure.
6. Au Sable
On one side of the Au Sable River, you'll find the town of Au Sable. The river is a popular spot for canoeing, fly-fishing, and kayaking, so rent a a boat here and explore the water and forested landscape around this serene part of the state.
7. Oscoda
The other side of the river is home to Oscoda. Here, you'll find the Au Sable-Oscoda Historical Society & Museum, Iargo Springs Interpretive Site, and locally owned gems such as Office Lounge and Grill and Tait's Bill of Fare. Wiltse's Brew Pub & Family Restaurant is a local favorite; wash down your burgers and BBQ with one of their locally crafted brews. Plus, you're right by the shores of Lake Huron, so you're never too far away from panoramic views of the water.
8. Lumberman's Monument Visitor Center – Oscoda
The Lumberman's Monument is one of the most underrated stops along US-23. It's way more than just the monument: There's the statue, of course, but you also can climb across a massive log jam, use real logging equipment, and explore what a logger's accommodations would have looked like. The observation deck and dune trail offer stunning views as well!
9. Cooke Hydroelectric Dam – Oscoda
And just down the road from the Lumberman's Monument, you'll find the Cooke Hydroelectric Dam, which was built in 1911 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, commemorating the dam's record-breaking achievement of transporting power to Flint, 125 miles away.
10. Harrisville State Park – Harrisville
As you keep cruising along US-23, you'll come across another gem: Harrisville State Park. It's got a beach and shady pine forests, and is within walking distance of the town of Harrisville. It's not hard to see why Michigan made this one of its first state parks... it's a serene slice of natural beauty worth preserving!
Just slightly north of the park, you'll find the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse. The light is still operated by the coast guard and features a maritime museum on site.
Harrisville also has a few sites along the Alcona County Quilt Trail. Barn quilts are simple, quilt-inspired wooden blocks that decorate historic barns and buildings, and are popular attractions across the Midwest. There are nearly 30 barn quilts located across the region. You can follow the Alcona County Quilt Trail to discover each and learn about the history that inspired the designs along the way.
11. Harrisville Bike Trails
You can also explore the historic gems in the city with the 2.5-mile Harrisville Heritage Route Trail. Or, bike the Greenbush Route, which takes you past the town's prettiest attractions along Cedar Lake. The Old Stone Church Route is another popular bike trail that starts in Harrisville; you'll travel along US-23 until you reach the nineteenth century church that was hand-built with local stones. Other great bike trails include the Springport Route, which is 16.5 miles out to the town of Springport, and the Sturgeon Point Route, which is only 5 miles and takes you to the lighthouse and back.
12. Dinosaur Gardens, LLC – Ossineke
There's something to be said for classic roadside attractions such as Dinosaur Gardens, LLC. There are more than 25 massive statues that were handcrafted, and they make fun photo ops. Plus, exploring the lush, swampy grounds is a great way to stretch your legs. There's also mini golf, snacks, and a fun little gift shop, too!
13. Alpena
Alpena, on Thunder Bay, is another town along the route. Step back in time at Old Town Alpena, the postcard-worthy historic district, or enjoy some rich culture at the Thunder Bay Art Council Gallery, where you can view masterpieces and buy local crafts. Get a taste for Alpena at Thunder Bay Winery, and sample eight locally-crafted wines for only $5.00, or at Stoney Acres Winery, with their selection of wines that range from sweet to dry, as well as unique fruit options such as pear and blackberry. If beer is more your taste, Alpena is home to Austin Brothers Beer Company.
There's also the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan, which features exhibits on Native American culture, geology and industry, as well as a planetarium and restored historical buildings.
End it all by watching the sun set behind the Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse. Even though access to the historic light is limited, it's still a great photo opp.
14. Middle Island Keepers' Lodge & Boat Tours – Alpena
If you're looking to get out on the lake, schedule a boat cruise with Middle Island Keepers' Lodge & Boat Tours. Spot lighthouses and enjoy the lake breezes from a guided boat tour, or explore historic shipwrecks below the water!
15. Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary – Alpena
Throughout history, Thunder Bay has been famed for its treacherous waters... in fact, it was often referred to as "Shipwreck Alley." Hundreds of sunken ships remain at the bottom of the lake, but if you don't have the time or resources to dive down to visit one, there's always the Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary, the only national marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes, which tells the story of human interaction with the lake, from its pre-Columbian history to early transportation to fishing camps and lighthouses. They offer glass bottom boat tours of the lake. The Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Museum is the visitor center, and has some awesome displays that educate and entertain as well.
16. Presque Isle
Then head further north to Presque Isle. The town is home to Presque Isle Harbor, and you can learn about how the harbor has played a major role in the town's history at Presque Isle Range Light Park. Once you're done checking out the range lights, visit the beach and its designated swimming area to cool off!
There's also the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse. Blow a foghorn, ring the massive bronze bell, climb to the top of the 30-foot brick tower, and learn about local legends surrounding the light and keeper's cabin as you explore the grounds of the lighthouse. For even more old-school fun, check out the Elowsky Grist Mill. The dam and grist mill were built in the mid-nineteenth century by German immigrants, and the mill operated until the 1960s!
The New Presque Isle Lighthouse was built in 1870, and remains the tallest light along the Great Lakes that is accessible by the public. Here, you'll find two keeper's cabins, one of which was built in 1905. It has been lovingly restored and dedicated to local history and lighthouse-keeping in general. If the climb up the 130 stairs to the top of the tower doesn't wear you out, you can always explore the natural trails in the surrounding park as well!
17. Ocqueoc Falls Scenic Site – Rogers City
If you're an avid biker, then the Ocqueoc Falls Cruise is a must-do. The 37-mile ride features rolling stretches of country road, views of Lake Huron, charming small towns, the historic Forty Mile Point Lighthouse, and, of course, Ocqueoc Falls. It's the largest waterfall in the Lower Peninsula, and it's a favorite destination for locals for a reason: It's a top-notch swimming hole and picnic spot!
18. More Popular Bike Routes on the Sunrise Coast
Other popular bike routes on the Sunrise Coast include the North Eastern State Trail, which makes its way from Alpena to Cheboygan, hopping from town to town along the way, and the Au Sable Cruise, which follows the Au Sable River for 42 stunning miles along River Road, a National Forest Scenic Byway. There's also the 34-mile Sunrise Side Cruise, which is perfect for those who are looking for a more rugged and wild experience along Lake Huron's shores, with more forests and fewer towns. Or ride the Black River Route, which is a quick 24-mile loop past the shores of Lake Huron and through the ghost town of Alcona.
19. Cheboygan
The next town you'll stop at along the route is Cheboygan. It's a popular vacation spot with year-round fun to be had. They've got lighthouses (naturally), with the Cheboygan Crib Light (if you look carefully, you can see the Fourteen Foot Shoal Light from the Cheboygan Crib Light) and the historic Cheboygan River Front Range Light, which is being restored.
The city is also filled with cultural institutions, such as the Cheboygan Opera House, with its gorgeous Victorian architecture and schedule filled with performances, classes, and more. If you're looking for a low-key experience in town, the Cheboygan Brewing Company is a local favorite. Their Amber and IPA are solid, and their more experimental brews, such as the blueberry cream ale, hibiscus IPA, and the black cherry and vanilla porter, are more adventurous and worth a try.
20. Nicholas Winery Tasting Room – Cheboygan
If you prefer wine, Cheboygan is home to the Nicholas Winery Tasting Room, where you can sit back and enjoy a few samples of their wine: Red-lovers will appreciate the Black River Red, and those who want something sweet will enjoy the Dionysos.
And you can soak in some natural beauty near Cheboygan as well. Herman Vogler State Conservation Area features eight miles of trails, plus excellent bird-watching and fishing opportunities.
21. Mackinaw City
After exploring Cheboygan, it's on to Mackinaw City! One of the coolest things to do in this lakeshore town is visit the Mackinaw Heritage Village. Step back in time to the turn of the century and explore life in the Straits of Mackinac as it was in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Restored buildings in the village include a wigwam, a chapel, a general store, and a saw mill. Be sure to check their schedule of events and programs and take a docent-led tour whenever available. Unwind with a flight of locally crafted beer, wine, or hard cider and some nibbles from Mackinaw Trail Winery.
22. Colonial Michilimackinac State Park – Mackinaw City
If you're craving more in-depth history, visit nearby Colonial Michilimackinac State Park (Don't worry, the name might be a mouthful, but the park is absolutely awesome!) It's a reconstruction of the 1715 fur trading post that occupied the park lands back in the eighteenth century. The park features archaeological exhibits and re-enactments. There's also the Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park, which has trails, exhibits at the visitor center, a treetop discovery tower, zip lines, and more, and the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum, which is on a historic WWII-era ship that you can tour. Many of these spots, and other cool historic sites, are located along the city's Mackinaw Historical Pathway.
23. Old Mackinac Point Light – Mackinaw City
Not surprisingly, the region has its fair share of lighthouses as well. Old Mackinac Point Light, which operated from 1890 until 1957, looks almost like a castle!
Michigan's Sunrise Coast is a vacation unlike any other... roadside kitsch, excellent bike trails, quaint lakeshore towns, natural beauty, and intriguing history make for a US-23 road trip that's exciting, yet relaxing.

Westfield Heritage Village first opened to the public in 1964. Westfield is a collection of over 30 historical buildings that have been relocated to Westfield from throughout southern Ontario. Two teachers from Brantford, Glenn Kilmer and Goldie MacDonell, had a vision to recreate a Village setting that included a number of shops, homes and businesses bringing to life the historical past.
The backdrop to this Village includes over 204 hectares (503 acres) of land that features natural woodlands, plantation forests and provincially significant wetlands. Hidden in among the trees are two ruin sites of the old farms that once were in operation more than 100 years ago.
Westfield is a community project with over 250 active volunteers and numerous community groups helping to provide tours, events and educational programs. Volunteers are involved in every aspect of running the site including costumed interpreters, gardeners, maintenance workers, collection assistants, and costume committee members.

Make it a frightful fall to remember at these spooky sites in Hamilton, perfect for exploring on your next haunted day trip… if you dare.
THE HERMITAGE RUINS – WALK INTO ANCASTER’S HAUNTED FOREST
The Spooky Story: Legend has it that in the 1830s, Hermitage estate coachman William Black hung himself in the stables after he was denied the estate owner’s niece’s hand in marriage. He was buried at a nearby crossroad now known as Lover’s Lane, where some can still hear his cries and see his ghostly figure.
Visit If You Dare: Feel the goosebumps as you explore the ruins of this once lavish estate, including the mansion and outbuildings like the stable and laundry. Then explore the surrounding community of Ancaster, one of Ontario’s oldest towns.

DUNDURN NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE – HAIR-RAISING HISTORY
The Spooky Story: Sir Allan MacNab’s family is said to still haunt the halls of this historic mansion. There have been reports of ghostly singing, mysterious drafts blowing out candles, objects moving around, and feelings of chills outside the room of MacNab’s second wife, Mary, where she died of tuberculosis.
Visit If You Dare: It’s not all frightening: families can take a fear-free and fascinating tour of the 40-room historic home, led by costumed interpreters. Across the street is the Hamilton Cemetery, the city’s largest and oldest burial ground, with tours available.

ALBION FALLS – AKA LOVER’S LEAP
The Spooky Story: In the early 19th century, a heartbroken, young Jane Reilly threw herself off the waterfall after her love, Joseph Rousseau left her at the encouragement of his mother. Right before Mrs. Rousseau died years later, she said she felt Jane’s hand on her shoulders. The area was also a gruesome site where the victims of notorious bootlegger Rocco Perri and accused murderer Evelyn Dick were discovered.
Visit if You Dare: Albion Falls is one of the city’s most picturesque and popular waterfalls – but don’t let the beauty fool you. During quiet nights, some claim to hear the cries of the late Jane.

CUSTOM HOUSE – HOME OF THE DARK LADY
The Spooky Story: Legend has it “The Dark Lady” arrived in Hamilton on an immigrant ship and was murdered by the captain who buried her body in the tunnels under The Custom House on Stuart Street. She has since gone on to become one of the city’s most famous ghosts, haunting visitors for well over a century.
Visit if You Dare: The beautiful Custom House, built in 1860, is one of the oldest remaining federal public buildings in Canada and an architectural landmark. It’s been home to everything from a school to a pasta factory and now houses the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre which hosts exhibits on working life in Canada and beyond.

AUGUSTA STREET – BEER WITH A SIDE OF GHOSTLY SIGHTINGS
The Spooky Story: This popular downtown pub and restaurant strip is a great destination for a night out with friends – just beware! Sightings of a man in a suit and top hat have been reported near the washrooms of The Judge. Across the street at Pheasant Plucker, several apparitions have been reported: both a little boy and an elderly man, as well as “a woman with fiery red hair.”
Visit if You Dare: Besides all this paranormal activity, Augusta Street is a go-to for pub lovers. Just some highlights include The Ship, famous for its burgers, craft beer and heated patio, and Odds Bar on the corner on James Street South, a casual sports bar co-owned by Arkells frontman Max Kerman.

BATTLEFIELD HOUSE MUSEUM – HAUNTED BY MARY GAGE

Visit if You Dare: Explore and relax on the parkland surrounding the house and look up at the 100-foot-tall Battlefield Monument and moving Eagles Among Us sculpture. Nearby, visit the Devil’s Punchbowl, a deep multi-coloured gorge along the Niagara Escarpment.

JACK THE RIPPER – A HAMILTON CONNECTION?
The Spooky Story: Legend has it the infamous Jack the Ripper, who tormented London in 1888 could actually have been Francis Tumblety, a con-artist “doctor” who sold elixirs for cures. Tumblety, who lived in Hamilton in 1856, was known to assault and even kill his patients in alleyways, like the one behind King William near James Street.
Visit if You Dare: The area of King William is now known as “Restaurant Row“. The only scary thing here now is just how much food you’ll want to devour in one sitting.

COACH & LANTERN – THE THIRD OLDEST BUILDING IN ANCASTER
The Spooky Story: The original building of this authentic British pub in Ancaster was built in the 1700s and rebuilt in 1823 after a fire burned it down. War of 1812 traitors were sentenced to death here and there have been reports of a resident ghost: an old man in his sixties wearing plaid who was believed to have died in the fire.
Visit if You Dare: You might hear whispers in your ear as you enjoy your dinner (no, it’s not the drinks talking) but the pub fare here is worth it. Think chicken wings, meat pies and curries done right. There’s also live music and a European hideaway-inspired patio.

SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY – A MEMORABLE MANSION
The Spooky Story: Stories of ghosts have surrounded this iconic Hamilton mansion for over a century. In 1913, George Tuckett left his home to visit his love interest where she murdered him in her bed. His Butler found him there and moved him back to his home office. A lady in a white dress is often seen on the stairs, and some people feel a bump in their back as they walk down.
Visit if You Dare: The former Tuckett Mansion is now the meeting place of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. It has the largest Masonic Cathedral in Canada (built in 1922), hand-painted backdrops, a pipe organ, majestic chandeliers, plus a spooky “dungeon” in the basement that terrifies the guards on patrol. Spot it in filmed-here shows like Umbrella Academy and Murdoch Mysteries.

A new trail has been added to the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) in Ontario, Canada in honour of our Swami Chinmayananda.
The “Chinmaya Trail” is located in Westfield Heritage Village Conservation area and adds 2.4 kilometres of trails to the existing trail network. Park visitors can now enjoy 6.7 kilometres of hiking, natural woodlands, plantation forests, significant wetlands, meadows, and cultural heritage features from past farming operations on the 204-hectare (503-acre) property.
Notably, the trail system is designed to be accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, featuring flat-packed gravel surfaces and boasting three new bridges that cross over wetlands and streams.
The official inauguration and ribbon-cutting ceremony occurred on Saturday, November 4, 2023. Representatives from the Chakraburtty family, along with HCA staff and board members, gathered to cut the ribbon and elaborate on the trail’s dedication.
In 2016, HCA acquired the Chakraburtty family property, the final piece of land connecting two separate tracts. This pivotal acquisition made it possible to develop the trail system and elevate Westfield Heritage Village to a conservation area, preserving its natural heritage features and supporting passive recreational activities.
Inauguration speech by Mr. Joti Chakraburtty
Good afternoon,
Chief Administrator of Hamilton Conservation Authority Lisa Burnside, Councillor Brad Clark, Director Scott Peck, Councillor Gord Costie and to the members of Chinmaya Missions Ottawa, Halton, Niagara and Toronto for coming here today, Hari Om and welcome to all.
Before we begin, we will get the group to stand up and recite the Chinmaya Pledge:
We stand as one family, bound to each other with love and respect.
We serve as an army, courageous and disciplined, ever ready to fight against all low tendencies and false values, within and without us.
We live honestly the noble life of sacrifice and service, producing more than what we consume and giving more than what we take.
We seek the Lord’s grace to keep us on the path of virtue, courage, and wisdom.
May thy grace and blessings flow through us to the world around us.
We believe that the service of our country is the service of the Lord of Lords, and devotion to the people is devotion to the supreme Self.
We know our responsibilities.
Give us the ability and courage to fulfill them.
Om Tat Sat
The pledge is exactly that – a promise to oneself to have a universal vision and organizational compassion to work together in society—a promise to strive for good and aim to attain maximum happiness for all.
Why did Swami Chinmayananda begin this great worldwide vision?
He himself was a seeker and believed that the message of Vedanta in English through classes and lectures was a simple, logical and widespread means to bring this philosophy to life in day-to-day living. Swamiji’s message was to spread to families, with focus on children and youth as well. As you see, we have with us Chinmaya families with children, youth, adults, and seniors. Many children who started with us, now have become teachers and leaders within their own community.
In the 80’s, the community of St. John’s Newfoundland created the first Chinmaya Centre in Canada. We then moved to Ontario, and slowly Chinmaya families joined in Halton, Niagara, Ottawa regions and growth continues to spread over Canada. Today, Ontario itself has five Chinmaya centres. These centres provide a space to host these classes, camps, events and other activities.
Chinmaya Worldwide, is not just about disseminating Vedanta. The organization has and continues to build schools, hospitals, universities, and international schools, as well as, have seminars for men and women who become monks to continue the Vedantic traditions. There are schools all over Europe, India, Asia, Australia and North America.
Years ago, my wife Sneh Latha Chakraburtty had purchased this lot of land. She had always wanted to use this land for either a Chinmaya centre for Halton or an old age home for Chinmaya Mission. Due to zoning issues, access to water sewer and many more obstacles this dream of Sneh’s was not getting any traction.
Then in May of 2015, Chris Firth-Eagland called Sneh and asked if she would be interested in selling the land to the Hamilton Conservation Authority. He made her realise that if she cannot convert the land for his work, then the land should remain untouched and preserved for eternity.
She had deep sentimental value of this purchased land which had been earned through her hard work, but felt that Chris’s vision was aligned with hers. These 46 acres were the last piece to link an amazing conservation network. Her only stipulation was that it be named Chinmaya Trail, so that for generations to come, this area will be protected and maintained by an institution that believes and respects nature, something Swami Chinmayananda repeatedly preached.
It gives me great pleasure that today these forests remain as Sneh loved them. I am so thankful that both Chris and Sneh’s vision has come to life. It gives me a feeling of humility to honor our teacher and life guide Swami Chinmayananda and it gives me so much happiness to see my grandchildren here to witness acts of kindness and respect towards the Earth.
I will now request Saakshi, Divya, Bharat and Arjun to come up and present our dignitaries with a gift from us.
Thank you and Hari OM

Location: Highway 52, off Highway 8, just west of Rockton, Ontario
Since its opening in 1964, the Westfield Heritage Centre has had a long and interesting past. The centre offers a view of what life in Ontario was like prior to Confederation. It is built on 340 hectares (840 acres) of land in the Rockton area, near the African Lion Safari, with a number of historical buildings designed to take visitors through a piece of Ontario's history.
Westfield is the product of three Brantford teachers' desire to provide a hands-on educational experience from which their students would learn about pioneer life. Their idea was to preserve mid-19th century buildings and equip them with appropriate artifacts and tools, in order to make the experience of visiting the village as authentic as possible.
Coming to be known as the Westfield Pioneer Village Association, the historical group planned for the site to include a village church, school house, grist mill, covered bridge, general store, an inn, a printer's shop, a shoemaker's shop, a cabinet maker's shop, a drug store and a number of homes.
In 1961, the Association acquired 30 acres of land for the project. Shortly thereafter, the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo (TH&B) railway house at Jerseyville was moved to the village. A frame hotel from Middlesex County and a printing shop from Huron were also acquired for the site. Equipment for a general store was brought in from Elgin County, while hotel furnishings and early farm equipment Norfolk and apothecary equipment were brought in from from Oxford. An authentic 1500's-style press was placed in the print shop.
The village was unofficially opened to the public in June of 1963, and an official opening was held the following year, in June of 1964.
An ancient Indian church, which had been moved from the Six Nations Indian Reserve to Westfield was opened in 1965. It was built in 1814 at Stone Ridge (on the Six Nations Reservation), making it the oldest church in Ontario. When it was moved to the site, it was dedicated to all Christian faiths.
By 1967, the village founders began seeking Wentworth County Council support, even though the village was not experiencing any financial difficulty. The founders simply wanted county administration of the village and for the county to assume responsibility for its continued operation. They were also hoping that if the County were to take over the village, then it would not only find a place on the map, but would also be safe if current members of Westfield Pioneer Village Association lost interest or died.
In May of 1968, the Westfield Pioneer Village was purchased by the county for $32,700. It became an official county property on November 1,1968. At this time, plans were being made to further expand the village by acquiring at least eight more buildings.
One of the buildings that opened not long after the County's acquisition of the village was Dr. Beattie's Drug Store. Originally located in the small north-Burlington community of Kilbride in the late 1800s, it was moved to the village and re-opened on August 15th, 1971. It was fully-equipped with authentic mid-19th century items. In 1971 there was also the opening of the Apple Hill post office.
Unfortunately, by this time the village was beginning to run into some financial difficulties. The centre was over budgeted and the county began to have doubts as to whether it should continue its involvement with the village. The City Council voted to place elected officials in control of the village. In 1972, ownership of Westfield Pioneer Village was transferred to the Hamilton-Wentworth region.
The village continued its expansion in 1975 by acquiring such buildings as a mud block house and spinning wheel shop which were built in 1837. In 1977, TH&B Engine 103 was moved to the village from Gage Park. Later, in 1981, a TH&B caboose dating back to World War I was also acquired.
In 1981, the region's Economic Development Committee recommended Council change the name of Westfield Pioneer Village to Wentworth Heritage Village because a major portion of the village's collection represented not the pioneer era of 1792 - 1812, but rather the period of 1814 to 1910. Most of the heritage that Westfield presented was related to the United Empire Loyalists and other early settlers, such as farmers and artisans. The name "Pioneer Village" was somewhat misleading, and it was hoped that by changing it, the village would be able to rid itself of a "Walt Disney approach" to its heritage.
Despite its new name, the village's deficit continued to rise, and in 1983 discussions began about the possibility of the Hamilton Region Conservation Authority taking control of Westfield. By 1984, it was decided that the Wentworth Heritage Village was in serious need of approximately $1 million in repairs. If these repairs were not done, a great deal of the centre would be in ruin. Rumors circulated about funds being spent inappropriately. Records indicated that while the buildings were falling apart, a major portion of the money had been spent on acquiring new artifacts rather than on maintenance.
On September 3, 1984, Wentworth Heritage Village ceased operation. This shut-down took place 3 months before the planned closure for that season, with no guarantees of a re-opening in the following April.
With the centre still closed in 1985, discussions began on the possibility of re-locating the centre. The Christie Conservation area and Confederation Park were both considered viable alternatives. The idea was that a relocation to a better area might have attracted more visitors to the village. On May 12, 1986, the Regional Economic Development and Planning Committee recommended leaving the village in its current location and working instead on repairing the damage. Repair costs were estimated to be $1 million, whereas moving the entire site would have cost at least $1.7 million.
Further study was done on the repairs that the village would require. By February, 1987, it was estimated by the regional committee that $3 million of tax payer money would be required over the next five years to have the Wentworth Heritage Village suitable for re-opening. Later that year, the region decided to implement a plan which would call for the opening of the centre in 1990. The Regional Council approved spending $1.73 million over the next seven years to restore the heritage centre. Another $750,000 would be raised through donations and grants. It was calculated that $300, 000 would be required annually by the village to operate effectively and to cover the shortfall in revenues. Also, it was decided that the Wentworth Heritage Village's emphasis should be placed on education and wood-working.
Although it seemed like a good idea at the time, the wood-working theme was eventually dropped in favour of yet another idea. This time, plans were being drawn up to have the heritage centre converted into a $10 million historical amusement park. By this time, the Hamilton Regional Conservation Authority had taken control of the village and it was up to them to figure out what should be done with it. Flamborough Mayor Jim Robb found it "disgusting even to think about" giving up on the village. By November of 1989, the amusement park idea was dropped, and discussions now focused on what reasonable action could be taken to save the Wentworth Heritage Village.
Redevelopment of the site began in 1990, with a re-opening on November 30, 1990, occurring just in time for Christmas. The centre was now a "special events theme centre," known as Westfield Heritage Centre, with its first theme being entitled Christmas in the Country. Redevelopment was scheduled to continue over the next five years, but at least the site was safe for the public to visit.
By 1991, episodes of the Canadian television miniseries "Road to Avonlea" were being filmed at Westfield Heritage Centre and the sets and props were put on display, attracting a great number of visitors. Actors from the series have occasionally hosted autograph sessions at the site, drawing a great number of fans eager to meet them.
Civil war re-enactments are also played out at Westfield Heritage Centre. In fact, since the early 1990s, a different battle has been re-enacted each August. The re-enactors are people with a passion for accuracy and detail, learning how to march and carry their weapons with precision. The battles are fought before audiences who are later encouraged to speak with the actors to get a better understanding of what a civil war battle was really like. More than 50,000 Canadians fought in the civil war, and about 1,500 of these were Hamiltonians.
The Westfield Heritage Centre also holds a maple syrup program every spring, so visitors can explore the historic pioneer and modern maple syrup harvest.
Today, Westfield is a living, breathing recreation of the past, with volunteers dressed in historically appropriate costumes working as their ancestors did in the past. The centre is divided into the following buildings:
Albrecht Siep Boot and Harness Shop
As long as horses were the source of power for wagons, buggies and ploughs, the leather worker's skill as a harness maker was essential to the community. This shop was a two-man enterprise. The master craftsman and his apprentice made all of the leather boots and harness from hides originating from the farms in the community. This shop dates back to 1859 and is from Waterloo County.
Bake Oven
This functional bake oven was used during the summer months when it was too hot to bake indoors. Bread could be baked on heated bricks, once the coals from the blazing fire were removed. Up to 25 loaves of bread could (and still can) be baked on this oven at one time.
Bamberger House
Built c. 1806 by Samuel Bamberger, Bamberger House was moved from Hamilton's west-end in July 1993. It is Hamilton's oldest surviving building and is currently under restoration. When completed, the home will represent an 1850 upper-middle class homestead.
Blacksmith Shop
This is a fully-equipped building typical of the blacksmith shops found throughout Ontario. The hand-cut pine rafters and oak studding remind visitors of the rugged simplicity of pioneer craftsmen. In addition to shoeing horses or oxen, the versatile blacksmith forged and repaired farm tools, wagon parts and many other necessities. This building dates back to 1853 and is from Wellington County.
Cabinetmaker's Shop
This building has been reconstructed from a cabinetmaker's shop in Burlington. It highlights the tools and techniques of the trade.
Cathcart School No. 24
Dating back to 1845 in Brant County, this school was donated by Mr. Alex Szombati, Sr., of the hamlet of Cathcart. This typical one-room schoolhouse served as a community school until 1865 when it became a residence.
The few textbooks were supplemented by the large charts and maps that can still be seen hanging on the wall. Slates were used for daily work, conserving pens, ink and paper for the final product that might be viewed by the inspector on his next visit. The children helped to maintain their school by keeping the stove burning, filling the water bucket, sweeping, as well as cleaning slates and brushes. The cane hanging behind the teachers desk reminds us of an earlier, harsher view of discipline.
The construction of this building is notable for the exceptional wide logs (the largest is 27 inches) that were positioned by man and animal power. Doors and windows were cut out after the logs were in place.
D'Aubigny's Inn
This 1820 Brant County home was converted to an inn by William D'Aubigny in 1836-37. Many pioneer settlements grew up around a crossroads inn that also provided a village meeting place. The large, centrally located fireplace was typical of buildings of this period and the accommodations offered were very primitive. This inn once welcomed people at the outskirts of Brantford on the road to London.
Drug Store
This building combines the examining room of Dr. Beattie and a drug store (or Apothecary), originally located in the village of Kilbride, in the Regional Municipality of Halton, in 1879. The many items on the shelves, which were gifts of the White Drug store in Aylmer, Hyde's Drugstore in Woodstock and Scott's Drugstore in Norwich, were used in the practice of medicine in the 1890s. These items include a saw, a capsule-making device, and a suppository-maker. The stained glass window, showing a mortar and pestle was made for the first drug store in St. George in Brant County.
Since doctors were rare in the rural areas, farm families would have to be self-reliant in times of illness. Home remedies, many using native plants and learned from native peoples, were passed down from generation to generation. Medicinal herbs were also part of every home garden in urban areas.
Edmundson House
This house is a gift of the City of Brantford, where it was built in 1827.
Episcopal Methodist Church
This church was built in 1854 by Charles Mount in Mountsberg and restored in 1970. A tower and spire were added as was the pulpit furniture which was used by a Methodist church in Elgin County. Until 1870, women were seated to the right and men on the left.
Gate House
This building serves as an administration office where admission can be paid and public washrooms are available.
General Store
The general store (c. 1848, Elgin County) was the center of the social and economic life of the village. Farmers came here to read the newspapers and catch up on the local gossip. The children enjoyed shopping errands since the general store was likely their only source of sweets, such as the rock candy which is still on sale at the store.
George Potts' Spinning Wheel Shop
This shop originally stood on the outskirts of the town of Simcoe. Dating back to 1886, this is where George Potts would manufacture Doolittle's spinning machines and is thought to be the only complete spinning wheel shop preserved in Ontario.
Gillen House
This elegant house (c. 1862) was home to four generations of the Gillen family at 100 Wellington Street, Brantford. Dubbed "Old Hundred" by the Gillen grandchildren, the house bears this name on the letter slot, and is a gift of the city of Brantford. The home was built by Robert Gillen, a magistrate, who died the very year it was completed. His widow and four daughters, the youngest of whom was only three, were its first occupants. Their love of culture and music is reflected in the furnishings throughout: in the front parlour, a Mason and Risch Victrola and a music box that operates on the organ principle using reeds and air; in the back parlour, a zither (an instrument similar to an autoharp), a Fischer square grand piano, and an Excelsior pump organ.
Inn Driveshed
The driveshed sheltered horses and carriages while its owners rested at the Inn.
Ironwood Tea House
The Ironwood Tea House is a nostalgic building and serves as Westfield's restaurant during special events and as a lunch facility during school programs. Food services are provided by the Friends of Westfield and features a delightful menu.
Lockhart Farmstead
Building and maintaining a farmstead like this one, which typically has four buildings (house, smoke-house, outhouse and barn), took the labour of the entire family with little time for leisure. Many of the early settlers here, such as the Loyalists who were granted lands in British North America in return for their loyalty to the Crown during the American Revolution, had limited knowledge of farming and were even less prepared for clearing the wilderness. This building dates back to 1854 and was originally built in Oxford County.
Log Church
Believed to be the oldest log church in Ontario, this building was erected in 1824 as a school but used as a church at Kanyengeh on the Six Nations Reserve until 1854. This is a reminder that the Mohawk came to this area as Christian Loyalist settlers, important British allies in North America.
The church was constructed of hand cut logs which was assembled without nails and chinked with oakum. The pews were handmade and seated about forty people. In 1962, the church was rededicated at Westfield in a service conducted in Mohawk and English.
Log House
A few different log houses exist at Westfield Heritage Centre, moved from various locations and representing different periods in history.
Marr Shop
Currently under restoration, this small 1800's timber frame building was built in Ancaster.
McRobert Dry Goods Store
Originally from the village of Troy and dating back to 1850, this dry goods store has been furnished for the year 1899 with goods donated by individuals and stores in Wentworth County. The store took its name from storekeepers Brice McRoberts and his nephew Alexander McRoberts. The upstairs was originally used as a meeting place for community functions.
Misener House
This building was occupied by Conrad Misener in 1832 and is an excellent example of a timber frame house in Upper Canada. It was built in the village of Troy and donated to Westfield by the Misener family.
Potts Building
A replica of the original mud block house of the Potts family from Simcoe, c. 1840, it features a display of Victorian "heirlooms", a small portion of the over 30,000 artifacts at Westfield..
Sawmill
This sawmill, built circa 1870, turned settlers' logs into lumber. This allowed a greater range of building types, and provided an important export item.
Seth Fothergill's Print Shop
A great step forward in the development of any district was the establishment of a print shop, such as this one constructed in Goderich. Here a village's weekly newspaper was printed along with handbills announcing sales, auctions, sporting events, political meetings and even funerals. The fine collection of wooden types in the cases at the back of the shop are still ready for use on the 1863 Washington flat bed press, the gift of the Hurley Printing Co. of Brantford. The Hoedrum type press, also dating from the 1860's, was operated by steam and required at least three men to operate it.
Trading Post
Wentworth area trading posts have been located in what is now Crook's Hollow and at the site of Dundurn Castle in the 1700s. Trade with the native people remained an important part of Upper Canada's pioneer economy as late as the 1830's. Natives traded pelts, produce, basketware and leather beadwork for sugar, tobacco, gunpowder, blankets and other commodities. This c. 1830 two-storey building of tamarack logs from Leeds County, the former Dorman family residence and the gift of Mr. Hollis Dorman, shows many of the items stocked in a traditional trading post including traps, blankets, barrels, stoneware crocks and snow shoes.

Hamilton’s past has shaped the dynamic city it is today.
From our many designated National Historic Sites (15 at last check!) to our defining role as an industrial hub, Hamilton's roots tell a fascinating story about how the city has evolved into the destination it is today.
Sure, you can read all about it on your own. But that’s nowhere near as interesting as coming to visit in person to experience it for yourself.
Here are some top picks for the history buff exploring Hamilton.
1. Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
Learn More
There's no place quite like it anywhere. Since 1972, the museum has pulled together an impressive collection of more than 40 vintage aircraft dating back to World War II, making it Canada's largest flying museum! You can do a lot more than just marvel at planes here. Climb into a cockpit, try a flight simulator, or even book a flight!
Don't Miss: The museum's biggest star is hands down the Avro Lancaster Bomber, the only surviving Lancaster in the world you can purchase a flight on. (The only other air-worthy Lancaster in the world is with the Royal Air Force in the UK).
2. Dundurn National Historic Site
Learn More
A visit to Hamilton isn't complete without a stop at one of the city's most iconic sites. The lavish, 40-room Victorian-era home overlooking the bay was the former home of one of Canada's first premiers, Sir Allan MacNab. It's Hamilton's own Downton Abbey!
The site was previously a key trading location for the Mississaugas and later, a fortified military encampment for British and loyalist soldiers during the War of 1812.
Don't Miss: Dundurn's two-acre Kitchen Garden is a destination unto itself where costumed interpreters use 19th Century tools and techniques to cultivate flowers, herbs, and food for use in the castle's kitchen and for the community. Come winter, the castle's Victorian Christmas program is a must-experience.
3. Westfield Heritage Village
Learn More
Unplug and slow down at this living history museum in Rockton in rural Hamilton. Costumed interpreters help bring early Canadian culture to life as they lead demonstrations on everything from blacksmithing to bread-making across 35 carefully restored historic buildings. The 130-hectare site is bordered by beautiful wooded trails and meadows.
Don’t miss: Favourite annual events like magical holiday programming, the Maple Syrup (winter) and Ice Cream (summer) festivals, make Westfield a year-round destination.
4. Battlefield House Museum & Park
Learn More
The 19th-century homestead, nestled under the scenic Niagara Escarpment and surrounded by acres of parkland, is a National Historic Site and local treasure. Once home to the prominent Gage Family, it was also the site of the pivotal 1813 Battle of Stoney Creek, a turning point in the War of 1812 where invading American forces were pushed back. The event is marked annually by the Re-enactment of the Battle of Stoney Creek.
Don't Miss: Be sure to visit the 100-foot tall Battlefield Monument erected as a symbol of peace and to commemorate the casualties of the Battle of Stoney Creek. Nearby stands the striking Eagles Among Us (more below).
5. Eagles Among Us
Learn More
This striking public art piece was commissioned by the City of Hamilton for Battlefield Park in Stoney Creek. The artwork by David M. General, an Oneida/Mohawk Indigenous artist and member of the Six Nations of the Grand River, consists of four, nine-foot-tall granite carved eagles inscribed with symbols and text around the theme of healing and reconciliation, inspired by the cultural traditions of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabek communities.
Don't Miss: The site has since become an important place of reflection and gathering in Hamilton. In the artist's own words Eagles Among us is "an invitation to people to consider the history, look at how things were, look at how things can be made better by the generations today. It creates a special sacred space and you can stand in the middle of that".
6. Griffin House
Learn More
This National Historic Site shares the fascinating history of Enerals Griffin and other early Black settlers at this preserved home set on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful Dundas Valley. When closed, the museum can be experienced here virtually.
Don't Miss: For more on the contributions of the African and Caribbean diaspora in Hamilton explore the Black History Audio Tour on the rich history of Little Africa around Concession Street.
7. HMCS HAIDA
Learn More
The Tribal-class destroyer distinguished itself during a number of historic battles during World War II and beyond. It’s now a Parks Canada Historic Site docked at Hamilton’s West Harbour (Pier 9) that helps visitors discover what life was like for crew members serving on board with the Canadian Navy and develop a deeper appreciation of the role it played on the international battlefront.
Don’t Miss: Throughout the summer season, take a guided tour for a snapshot of life at sea and explore the ship's inner workings, from deck to engine room.
8. Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology
Learn More
You’ll love getting a behind-the-scenes look at the early days of Canada’s industrial revolution with two preserved 70-ton powered water pumping engines. Museum curators take guests on a fascinating journey that created these engineering feats housed in this 150-year-old waterworks.
Don’t Miss: Popular events here include model train shows, hands-on workshops and Golden Horseshoe Live Steamer Days throughout the summer complete with miniature train rides and free guided tours.
9. Whitehern Historic House & Garden
Learn More
Experience one of Canada's most intact historic homes in this fascinating downtown museum. Costumed interpreters help unearth the lives of the three generations of the McQuesten family who lived here from 1852 to 1968. The historic house and all of its contents were given to the City of Hamilton in 1959 to be appreciated by future generations. It’s a rare glimpse into Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian time periods.
Don't Miss: Wait for summer to experience Whitehern's stunning garden – a secret, walled oasis in the heart of downtown. Look out for special lunchtime concerts.
10. The Rock Garden at Royal Botanical Gardens
Learn More
Opened to visitors in 1932, the historic Rock Garden is considered the birthplace of Royal Botanical Gardens. Before there was the QEW and Highway 403, the Rock Garden was part of a design to help enhance the beauty of Hamilton as the main entry point into the city from Toronto. Escarpment stone from the Red Hill Valley was transported here, to this former gravel pit, to start the process. The rejuvenated garden features year-round perennial and conifer displays and a tranquil waterfall and stream.
Don't Miss: The Rock Garden's stunning Visitor Centre is a great place for special events and dining. It's also the launching pad for year-round events in the garden.
11. Architecture Tour
Learn More
Hamilton’s architecture is widely considered unique in the region for the quantity and variety of preserved historic buildings. Early standouts include Griffin House (1827), Dundurn Castle (1835), Hamilton Customs House (1860), Whitehern (1848), and St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church (1857). Later examples include LIUNA Station (1930) and the Lister Block (1923), now beautifully restored and home to the Tourism Hamilton Visitor Experience Centre.
Don’t Miss: Take this self-guided Downtown Hamilton Heritage Walking Tour to discover architectural gems spanning decades of the city’s history.

The beat of a drum echoing through a Pow Wow. The ring of the telephone that would change the course of communication across the world. Canada’s war heroes, Aboriginal warriors, inventors and founding families aren’t just remembered in Hamilton Halton Brant, they’re celebrated in creative ways that ensure the spirits of the people who shaped our country live on. Interactive programming, creatively curated collections of artifacts and one-of-a-kind events and festivals transform history into engaging moments that shift perspectives and remind us how special it is to call this country home.

Certificates of Appreciation presented to residents.
Mayor Grace Losier and Council presented certificates to those owners of historic places who provided permission for their properties to be registered on the New Brunswick Register of Historic Places. Due to the co-operation of residents, the Heritage Committee was able to identify and research many of the historic places with the able assistance of researcher Joanna Aiton.
Mayor Grace Losier and Council presented certificates to those owners of historic places who provided permission for their properties to be registered on the New Brunswick Register of Historic Places for part two of the project. Due to the co-operation of residents, the Heritage Committee was able to identify and research many of the historic places with the able assistance of researcher Joanna Aiton.
On February 28, 2017 as part of Black History month, 5 local landmarks were renamed from insensitive names to names reflecting the rich black history of our area. 3 Grand Bay-Westfield landmarks; Negro Lake. Negro Brook and Little Negro Lake were renamed Corankapoon Lake, Black Loyalist Brook and Richards Lake respectively. Richards and Corankapoon were black refugees from the American War of Independence who were granted land in Grand Bay-Westfield in the 1780's. Their history is contained on this site under "articles" and " Early black settlers".
Dr. Ed Doherty presided over the ceremony with words of thanks were expressed to Ralph Thomas by the premier and the mayors of Saint John and Grand Bay-Westfield. Dave Taylor of the town and the town;s heritage committee were instrumental in providing research to the Black History Society to enable these changes to be made with the support of the mayor Grace Losier and council.

Historic Places Days

https://historicplacesdays.ca/places/westfield-heritage-village/
|
Westfield Heritage Village first opened to the public in 1964. Westfield is a collection of over 30 historical buildings that have been relocated to Westfield from throughout southern Ontario. Two teachers from Brantford, Glenn Kilmer and Goldie MacDonell, had a vision to recreate a Village setting that included a number of shops, homes and businesses bringing to life the historical past.
The backdrop to this Village includes over 204 hectares (503 acres) of land that features natural woodlands, plantation forests and provincially significant wetlands. Hidden in among the trees are two ruin sites of the old farms that once were in operation more than 100 years ago.
Westfield is a community project with over 250 active volunteers and numerous community groups helping to provide tours, events and educational programs. Volunteers are involved in every aspect of running the site including costumed interpreters, gardeners, maintenance workers, collection assistants, and costume committee members.

Westfield Community Centre was built in 1983. The centre is used for a variety of purposes including keep fit classes, lunch clubs, senior citizen events, dance classes, community care and council meetings, councillor meetings, youth clubs, the playgroup, carpet bowls and the discovery club.
Westfield Community Centre and staff would welcome well-organised social functions and community-based activities.
Facilities
Westfield has a modern and spacious facility to offer. The Community Centre consists of one main hall and a committee room available for hire. The main hall in the centre is multi-functional and can be used for the purpose of most lets. With a large capacity intake of 140 persons for a dinner dance or disco event, this hall is highly suited to social occasions. It also has the unique feature of being able to be adapted to suit the needs of two smaller groups or events by pulling across the partition in the centre of the room.
If hiring musical accompaniment or putting on a performance for an evening there is a portable stage available that can be set to the rear of the main hall.
To complement the main hall requirements there is a bar area in the main hall, which can be used when requested in conjunction with main hall activities. Patrons are reminded that there is an additional license fee if alcohol is brought onto the premises.
There is also a committee room in the Centre that makes an ideal meeting place for local groups or small gatherings. This room can seat up to 10 persons.
Kitchen facilities in Westfield Community Centre are of catering standard. This makes this centre an ideal place for inviting external caterers or for simply indulging guests with a hot buffet for your occasion. There is also a fridge available if required.
Transport
Westfield Community Centre is accessible by public transport and a bus stop can be found approximately 30 yards from the centre. For those travelling to the venue by car there are limited car parking spaces situated directly outside the centre.
Public Transport Information
Disabled access
This venue is highly suited to persons requiring disabled access. All facilities are located on the ground floor and there are disabled access points to the building. Toilet facilities have also been specially adapted to suit the needs of those with disabilities.
Conditions of hire, cost of hire and booking form
Cost of Hire information, Conditions of Let and Booking forms are all available to download at the right of this page.
Catering
Our Catering Services can cater for children’s parties and provide tea, coffee, scones, buffets and sit down meals at events – all at very competitive prices.

Things Made Here: The Glen Faulman Collection
Curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art at the AGH and Tara Bursey, Independent Curator
Glen Faulman (AKA The Hamilton Kid) is a 10th generation Hamiltonian and a 3rd generation steelworker. He is also part owner of This Ain’t Hollywood on James Street North—needless to say he has great pride in this city, and in particular, the things made here. Glen’s goal is to collect “an artifact from every manufacturing plant that ever operated in Hamilton,” which would be a number approaching a thousand.
On view at the AGH Design Annex are selections from his extensive collection of objects made in Hamilton. From a late 19th century sewing machine produced at a factory formerly located at James Street North and Vine Street, to a stunning Hamilton cash register made on James Street North at Colbourne, to nail samples and graphic ads for soda pop and beer, these everyday artifacts will be familiar to long-time Hamiltonians. They are a stunning introduction for those less familiar. Three types of objects are on display: graphic designs used commercially, the things themselves that were produced, and the things to make things with, such as nails and other components.
February 28 – May 24
Robert Burley: The Disappearance of Darkness
Curated Dr. Gaëlle Morel, Exhibitions Curator, Ryerson Image Centre
Since 2005, Canadian photographer Robert Burley has documented the demise of film-manufacturing facilities and industrial darkrooms around the world. This exhibition and accompanying publication speak to a historical moment of no return, or what the artist calls “the dizzying moment in photography’s history in which technological changes redefined the medium forever.”
Robert Burley: The Disappearance of Darkness addresses the abrupt breakdown of a century-old industry, which embodies the medium’s material culture. Burley’s large-format colour prints visually record the major economic impact caused by the shift from analogue photography to digital technology. His investigation began when he was granted access to the Kodak Canada plant in Toronto. Following 18 months photographing the desertion, decommissioning and demolition of the facility, he turned to document the international disappearance of manufacturers Agfa-Gevaert, Ilford and Polaroid.
Burley’s project presents the industrial architecture of these facilities with an emphasis on the unique character of the buildings, specifically designed to fabricate products in darkness. As an artist working in photography for the past 30 years, Burley has been both an observer and a participant in this radical transition. As such, his work strikes a subtle balance between the commemoration of the demise of now obsolete materials – film-based photography – and the celebration of cutting-edge visual technology.
February 21 – May 24
One-Eyed-Rabbit: Jonathan Plante
Young Gallery
Organized by VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine
One-Eyed-Rabbit is different. He has only one eye and would like to jump into his rabbit hole without chipping his teeth… He meets a worm that has no eyes but can navigate through holes in the ground! Together they will discover the power of imagination and the inner workings of sight: a little with the eyes, a lot with the brain, always with the heart.
In a playful atmosphere and through the story of a friendly rabbit, Montreal artist Jonathan Plante invites young people ages 4 to 10 (and kids of all ages!) to (re)discover the mysteries of visual perception in a variety of ways. The exhibition includes an animated video, original paintings, a giant didactic book, and mirror anamorphoses that will stimulate the imagination of little ones and grownups alike. These unexpected and interactive aesthetic experiences notably address abstraction, art history and optical illusions. Through the various works, viewers are invited to discover the mechanisms of vision and the role it plays in the arts, while developing the imagination.
One-Eyed-Rabbit is designed and produced by VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine. Jonathan Plante (b. 1976) lives and works in Montreal.
February 28 – May 31
Illuminations: Italian Baroque Masterworks in Canadian Collections
Co-curated by Dr. Benedict Leca, former Director, Curatorial Affairs, Art Gallery of Hamilton and Dr. Devin Therien, AGH Guest Curator
Italian Baroque Art is most often associated with dynamic movement, overwhelmingly-rich colors and compositions, and the creation of new pictorial subjects. The style known as Baroque (c. 1590-1715) was centered in Rome, Naples, and Bologna and subsequently spread to other international cities, including Madrid, Paris, London, and Amsterdam.
Illuminations is the first comprehensive exhibition examining the breadth of Italian Baroque painting in Canadian public collections. Building on the Tanenbaum gift of European art to the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the exhibition explores how light and shadow were central to the creation of dynamic and theatrical pictures. The selected paintings are examined by investigating the artists’ chiaroscuro – the pictorial effects created by light and shade. In contrasting Mattia Preti’s and Jusepe Ribera’s deeply shaded pictures with Luca Giordano’s and Nicolas Poussin’s luminous works, the exhibition reveals how light was strategically used to signify demeanour, emotion or religious symbolism.
Through a comparison of religious, mythological, and popular imagery, Illuminations simultaneously explores how Baroque audiences were confronted with paintings that broke with tradition by manipulating the conventional use of light. In addition to painting monumental religious imagery, artists also depicted large and theatrically-lit gambling scenes and street concerts. Such paintings emphasize the conflicting aspects of seventeenth-century life, including those between the secular and religious, public and private, and decorous and profane.
Featuring many of Canada’s foremost Baroque pictures, the exhibition examines a culture – similar to our own – that was captivated by theatrical display.
May 8 – August 29
The Painted Page: Book Illustrations by Jacqui Oakley
Curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art at the AGH
Hamilton-based Jacqui Oakley’s painted images have been circulating the globe in such widely recognized publications as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Penguin Books, National Geographic, Amazon, and most recently as illustrations in re-releases of the complete novels of Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes and the works of L.M. Montgomery, including Anne of Green Gables.
Featured at the AGH Design Annex will be selections of Oakley’s original paintings, never-before shown to the public, exhibited alongside the books themselves. Highlighting their contemporary yet nostalgic style, and Oakley’s adept use of mixed media techniques, the exhibition allows us a behind the scenes view into the graphic design process through the presentation of Oakley’s source paintings, works of art in their own right.

are you experienced?
Nadia Belerique, Jessica Eaton, Olafur Eliasson, Dorian FitzGerald, Hadley+Maxwell, Do Ho Suh
Curated by Melissa Bennett
The AGH strikes out into our next century with a massive contemporary art exhibition. Bringing together artists from across the globe, the show offers works that appeal to the senses, making a point that an engagement with art can sometimes occur more readily if one does not have preconceived notions of what it should be. In this exhibition, experience creates meaning.
are you experienced? is made up of spectacular installations by six internationally renowned artists: Nadia Belerique, Jessica Eaton, Olafur Eliasson, Dorian FitzGerald, Hadley+Maxwell and Do Ho Suh. Works have been commissioned, made site-specific, and fill large rooms floor-to-ceiling in this sprawling display. The work of Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson is pioneering, driven by his interests in perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self; his work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern and the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Venice Biennale, among many others. Eliasson and the other exhibition artists strive to make the concerns of art relevant to society at large.
Through immersive and interactive installations, photography, video, painting, sculpture and sound art, the artists engage viewers and invite participation. Familiar objects and images are presented in new contexts, suggesting alternative modes of understanding. The artworks appeal to the viewer’s psychological and intuitive senses, or memory, with the goal of promoting visual and aural awareness and engagement.
This exhibition is made possible through the international loan of artworks, and never-before-seen works in private collections. It is curated by Melissa Bennett, AGH Curator of Contemporary Art. A fully illustrated 192-page catalogue accompanies the exhibition, with essays by AGH Curator of Contemporary Art Melissa Bennett and invited scholars: Jennifer Fisher and Jim Drobnick, Sally McKay, Gabrielle Moser, Alana Traficante, as well as artist interviews. Published by Black Dog Publishing, London UK.

Jaime Angelopoulos: The Incandescence
Curated by the Supercrawl Curatorial Committee
Co-presented by Supercrawl and the Art Gallery of Hamilton
Jaime Angelopoulos is a featured Supercrawl artist. Her large abstract and colourful sculptures will be situated on James Street North, commissioned for the festival. The AGH Design Annex will showcase a closer look at her studio practice, including eleven of her mixed media drawings made along the same themes as her sculptural work. Using elementary materials such as oil pastel and conte, the forms she expresses are playful, while full of human gestural characteristics. They seem to emanate an electric charge in their neon brightness, like the definition of Incandescence, one of her works for which the exhibition is titled. Angelopoulos is a Toronto-based artist working in sculpture and drawing. She is represented by Parisian Laundry, Montreal.
January 24 – April 26

P. Mansaram: 1980s Xerox and Mail Art
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Alana Traficante in partnership with Hamilton Artists Inc.
Mansaram, also known as Panchal Mansaram, is a Burlington-based artist who was born in Mount Abu, India, in 1934. He immigrated to Canada in 1966, and quickly became friends with Marshall McLuhan, who helped him become oriented in the Toronto and North American cultural scene. Having studied art in India in high school, and then on a fellowship at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam, he brought an eastern style and perspective on the visual arts to his work in Canada. Known for his diverse accomplishments in many styles and media, he has worked in painting, drawing, collage, mixed media and in the changing technologies of the 20th century. His video, film, photography and lasergraphic practice forms a context for his experimentations with Xerography, and mail art.
Xerography emerged as a visual arts form in the late 1970s. Like video art, it signalled artists’ desires for diplomatic and accessible new media. Building on his compositional mixed media collage works, Mansaram would spend time photocopying these, often in series, to create new and experimental images. Zooming in and out, adjusting the contrast and other effects, adding cut-outs of type-written lyrical texts, the photocopied images became a visual and poetic exploration for him. He sometimes assembled them as book works, spiral bound or accordion-style, and other times the individual images stood alone. Mansaram was an active participant in the international mail art scene around the same time, which was an association of artists (with headquarters in the U.S.), who had a mailing list set up and would send copies of their artworks to everyone on the list, whether postcards, collages, or Xerox pieces, etc.
On view at the AGH Design Annex are examples of Mansaram’s Xerography works from the 1980s, along with a display of original Xerography book works, and souvenirs from his mail art practice, including publications that featured his mail art. For the current exhibition he revisited two book works and enlarged the pages anew, presenting them in a serial way. Viewers can engage with the fantastical collage that is the first page and origin work for the series Take a leap into the space, c. 1986; as well as A Maze of Life, c.1986. To create both works, Mansaram used window screening as an essential visual element, as a symbol of the ways in which a view through a window, or any screen such as a TV or computer, may be creatively manipulated. Adding meditative poetic texts throughout, the works indeed remind viewers of McLuhan’s writings on the medium as the message.
The Art Gallery of Hamilton and Hamilton Artists’ Inc. are proud to present the work of Mansaram, in this exhibition that happens to begin on the day of his 82nd birthday. Mansaram is a long-standing and committed member of the Hamilton and Burlington art scenes, a celebrated former high school art teacher in Burlington, and an astute alumnus of the International Society of Copier Artists, a revolutionary group who advocated for a new type of image-making directly tied to the rapidly changing technologies of the late 20th century.

Meryl McMaster: In-Between Worlds
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Tara Bursey
In-Between Worlds explores bi-cultural identities through photographs of a lone figure in the landscape. Identity and myth are intertwined here, in dialogue with the codes of photographic representation. As self-portraits, these images expose the vulnerable subject, inviting viewers to consider themselves as characters in this theatrical yet open-ended narrative. McMaster’s Aboriginal and Euro-Canadian identities have informed this work, wherein she incorporates ideas of liminality. For McMaster, “In-Between Worlds is a sequence of moments that appear out of the ordinary and can be interpreted as being in a state of suspended belief.”
This exhibition is presented in association with Winterlore, a Hamilton Winterfest exhibition that runs as part of the Winterfest Kick Off event on Saturday February 1st, 3-10 pm at Pier 8. Curated by Tara Bursey, Winterlore features dynamic art installations by ten artists. The works draw on winter folklore, stories and symbols from around the world, in celebration of the diverse cultures of Hamilton.
February 8 – May 4
Kim Adams: One for the Road
Organized and circulated by Museum London
This exhibition surveys Adams’ 30-year career as an inventor of strange new worlds. An enthusiastic assembler of sculptures made from model parts, bikes, trucks, old appliances and equipment, Adams has exhibited throughout Canada and around the world. He has produced drawings and prints, small models, and huge sculptures that re-envision ideas of home, vehicles, and other machines gone humorously awry.
Some of Adams’ works are eccentric and inviting, while others are almost apocalyptic in vision. They describe possible worlds, alternate aesthetics and potential freedoms. Beyond his unique use of materials, his creations explore what art can be through their presentation. Certain sculptures are intended for public display outside the gallery context, becoming a travelling, interactive spectacle in the city streets. The content and context of his works thus challenge conventional ways of thinking about our values, lifestyles, and sense of community.
Adams won the 2012 Gershon Iskowitz Prize, in recognition of the national and international significance of his body of work. One for the Road includes numerous works from across the breadth of his practice. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive publication on Adams’ work.
February 1 – May 25
Terrors of the Breakfast Table
a video installation by Tyler Tekatch
Curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art
Terrors of the Breakfast Table is an experimental video that invites participation. The story follows a boy on a contemplative journey about life and death. Heavily symbolic, it unfolds in an impressionistic way, with interludes of brilliant cinematography and atmospheric sound. The story is also a dreamscape, as the boy weaves in and out of consciousness, visualizing memories, familiar landscapes, and symbolic environments. The piece ruminates on the elusiveness of the mind and body, and the functions of the body—such as breathing—that seem to be invisible.
In a confounding exploration of these ideas, Tekatch designed the video installation so that the visitor’s breath causes changes to the visuals and sound. On the table in the gallery space, subtle technologies sense a viewer’s breath, triggering thought-provoking interactive elements. These include a dream montage, the pace of a scene, the ambient sound, and the brightness of the visuals.
Terrors of the Breakfast Table is Tekatch’s first major art installation. An emerging Hamilton-based artist and filmmaker, Tekatch’s work is positioned within global experimental film practices. Using non-linear narrative and a collaged aesthetic approach, his moving image works are visceral and evocative.
This piece was commissioned within the Interactive Digital Media Incubator program at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, which was made possible with the generous support of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and the Museums and Technology Fund.
‘The Making of Terrors of the Breakfast Table’ video shows the behind the scenes details of how Tyler Tekatch and his team created the interactive video installation.
May 31 – August 30
Brandon Vickerd: Faltering Monuments
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Alana Traficante
Brandon Vickerd’s artistic practice includes a range of forms, from sculpture to performance to site-specific interventions, and he frequently explores the myth of progress ingrained in Western world views. With Faltering Monuments, Vickerd subverts a traditional form of commemoration through a contemporary sculptural intervention. He models this series of statues after historically powerful, masculine political figures such Napoleon and Columbus, and then alters the busts by carving out grotesque anatomical elements. In representing figures of modernity, Vickerd highlights nostalgia for the past—a time of rigorous political and scientific pursuit that held great promise for the future. The works disrupt the viewer’s expectations of the monument and invite a dialogue on horror, while exposing the human side of these notable yet fallible characters. Vickerd is a Hamilton-based artist with an extensive exhibition history in North America. He is currently an Associate Professor in the department of Visual Art and Art History at York University.
May 24 – October 5
Into The Light: The Paintings of William Blair Bruce (1859-1906)
Curated by Tobi Bruce, Senior Curator, Canadian Historical Art
On Sunday June 28, 1914, the Art Gallery of Hamilton opened its doors for the very first time to great fanfare and expectation: the featured artist was William Blair Bruce. Born and raised in Hamilton, Bruce had died prematurely in 1906, in Stockholm, at the age of 47. His widow, the Swedish artist Caroline Benedicks, his father, William Bruce Senior and his sister Bell Bruce together offered the City of Hamilton a collection of significant paintings by Bruce with the proviso that an art gallery be established. And so was born the AGH. On the occasion of our centennial, we pay tribute to this founding donation, and this significant Canadian painter through the mounting of a major exhibition of his work.
The exhibition follows the painter from his early days in Hamilton, to Paris, to the French artists’ colonies of Barbizon, Grez-sur-Loing and Giverny, and finally to Sweden where together with Caroline he settled on the island of Gotland in the middle of the Baltic sea, building a magnificent home and studio called Brucebo, which today houses the largest collection of works by both artists.
Numbering 100 works, the Bruce exhibition is the largest ever mounted and includes paintings never before exhibited publically, and related archival material, including photographs and letters, with a view to presenting as full a picture as possible of the artist and his life. A significant publication, with seven independently authored chapters, accompanies the exhibition. Major lenders include the National Gallery of Canada, the National museum (Stockholm), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), and the Terra Foundation for American Art (Chicago). Significantly, we’re pleased to announce that we will be bringing over twenty paintings from Sweden for inclusion in the exhibition, many of which have never-before travelled to Canada.
One hundred years later, we welcome William Blair Bruce back to Hamilton.
June 7 – October 5
Painting the Landscape in Nineteenth-Century Europe
Curated by Benedict Leca, Director of Curatorial Affairs
Landscape painting in Europe was reinvented during the course of the nineteenth-century, altered according to shifting definitions of nature in the context of broad social and industrial changes. Modernity brought the advent of the railroads and of tourism into the countryside, of photography, and of such things as the portable colour tube, changing the relation of the artist to nature, and in turn the meaning and value attached to landscape painting.
If the story is largely centred on French painting, it is one of enduring tropes governing the apprehension of the natural landscape, as well as of received techniques in the painting of it. With the rise of plein air (outdoor painting), objective depiction and the truthfulness to one’s physical response to nature pressured the Academy’s prescribed recipes of spatial arrangement, colour application, or the need for any figurative or narrative element to insert in the landscape. Accordingly, landscapists of all stripes over the course of the century navigated between naturalism and the artifices of painting, closely observing natural phenomena, or else falling back on established tricks of their craft—sometimes in the same work.
The paintings presented here trace a chronological and stylistic overview of nineteenth-century European landscape painting, illustrating the different modes through which landscape was depicted. From Dutch-infused watery landscapes, to seascapes, to romanticized depictions of specific locales, the arrangement culminates in the light-filled essays and complex colour application of the Impressionists and post-Impressionists.
June 28 – January 4, 2015
Jenn E. Norton: Dredging a Wake
an interactive digital media installation
Curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art
Dredging a Wake activates video art, projections and sculptures in magically interactive ways. Norton’s immersive installation works challenge visual perception, asking viewers to suspend their disbelief via illusionary images that move and reflect in enigmatic ways.
Precipice is a round room that visitors can enter to find a virtual office space, a projection of swirling water and swimmer circling the perimeter. The swimmer displaces the virtual objects in the room, sweeping them up in the flow of the water, inciting disorientation and synesthesia in the viewer. Doline is an arrangement of mechanical sculptures made from severed office fixtures that turn slowly in a darkened room, to the soundtrack of stories about dreams and the sensation of falling. Doldrums uses mirrors and a projector to experiment with 3D stereoscopic views and an infinite reflection of the viewer.
Jenn E. Norton is an early career artist based in Guelph. This is her first major exhibition in a public gallery. She has been described as “a wizard of simple but magical video compositing, creating brilliant collage spaces,” by award-winning filmmaker, curator and critic, Chris Gehman. Her video work has been described as “kinetic, totally charming, magical, [and] emo-conceptual” by Border Crossings art critic Lee Henderson. Her recent works have decidedly delved into the intuitive, imaginative and emotive process of image making.
This piece was commissioned within the Interactive Digital Media Incubator program at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, which was made possible with the generous support of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and the Museums and Technology Fund.

Natalie Hunter: ReVisions
Curated by the Supecrawl Curatorial Committee
Co-presented by Supercrawl
ReVisions is a site-specific collage of photographs that explores images, personal memory and storytelling. The camera, which is normally used to capture images of the outside world, is used as an apparatus for reflection on fragmented memories of people, places, and materials. Personal childhood narratives from growing up on the outskirts Hamilton are investigated through the ephemeral nature of motion and light.
Natalie Hunter is a Hamilton-born multidisciplinary artist who works with photography, installation, digital media and sculpture. In 2013 she graduated with an MFA from the University of Waterloo.

The World is An Apple: The Still Lifes of Paul Cézanne
Curated by Dr. Benedict Leca, Director of Curatorial Affairs
Organized by Dr. Benedict Leca, the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s Director of Curatorial Affairs, this international loan exhibition opens at the AGH on November 1st 2014 after premiering at the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, in June (2014). Comprised of nearly twenty Cézanne masterpieces, in addition to a clutch of works by related artists, The World is An Apple: The Still Lifes of Paul Cézanne charts a thematic and chronological sweep of Cézanne’s still life painting, showing how the ‘Master of Aix’ recast the genre and set it on a new course. Traversing the breadth of his still life production—from early paintings engaging with past masters to very late works unique to him, and treating the range of themes, including apples, flowers and skulls—this select gathering of paintings offers viewers a brief reappraisal of Cézanne’s monumental achievement in this genre.
November 1 – February 8, 2015
Painting Hamilton
Curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art
Hamilton has a very rich artists’ scene, and a great number of brilliant painters. On the occasion of the AGH centennial, this exhibition features ten artists from the Greater Hamilton area, many of whom are not well-known, showcasing the diverse subject matter, techniques and materials that are of the moment in contemporary painting practices. Direct from the artist’s studios and local private collections, the exhibition includes over thirty works in landscape, portraiture and abstraction. From lush oil paintings to a sculptural installation, the range of media, form and scale is intriguing. However the psychological weight of the subject matter prevails, as it is activated by the materials. Whether an intimate portrayal of a model, or an intuitive and gestural expression of the environment, the pieces are captivating, powerful, and impressive for their ability to engage the viewer on a subconscious level. Featured artists are Jennifer Carvalho, Catherine Gibbon, David Hucal, Daniel Hutchinson, Charles Meanwell, Matthew Schofield, Christina Sealey, Beth Stuart, Lorne Toews and Manny Trinh.

Art for a Century: 100 for the 100th
Curated by Dr. Benedict Leca, Tobi Bruce and Melissa Bennett
While the AGH Centennial celebrates the people, spaces and activities that have made the Gallery one of the most dynamic independent art museums in Canada, we should never lose sight of its prized permanent collection, which we hold in trust for the people of Hamilton. As the foundational treasure that propels our enterprise as a museum, the collection ranks among the finest in Canada.
What began 100 years ago with the donation of 29 paintings in memory of Hamilton-born artist, William Blair Bruce, now numbers 10,000 works. While other ‘encyclopedic’ museums present a broader range of objects, the specificity and depth of the AGH collection in three core areas—Canadian historical, Canadian and global contemporary, and European art—are its strength.
Art for a Century: 100 for the 100th, which gathers selected masterpieces from the permanent collection chosen by Dr. Benedict Leca, Director, Curatorial Affairs, Tobi Bruce, Senior Curator of Canadian Historical Art and Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary Art, exemplifies the sustained level of quality of the three collections. From late 19th-century landscapes to masterworks from the Group of Seven, from Baroque masterpieces of Dutch and Italian art to important French 19th-century academic painting, from a full offering of contemporary art of the last decades to a rich selection of African material, the AGH collection covers these significant domains with distinction.
The works presented in this exhibition are arranged to suggest occasional formal or thematic resonances. The display occupying the entire second floor is an invitation to our Members and visitors to wander, discover, and contemplate anew the treasures that will continue to enlighten for the next 100 years and beyond.
May 3 – June 22
SAGE: Follow Your Art VIII
Artwork created by students from senior kindergarten through grade five from the SAGE (scholastic, art, global education program) at Strathcona School will be presented in this exhibition, which is a culmination of a series of visits during the school year. Each student has selected one work from their portfolio that they consider their best.
March 8 – April 27
Women’s Art Association of Hamilton 118th Annual Juried Exhibition
It is entirely fitting that on the occasion of the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s centennial we should celebrate the achievements of the Women’s Art Association of Hamilton through their annual juried exhibition. As one of Hamilton’s oldest and most important art associations, the WAAH shares longstanding ties with the AGH and indeed played an important role in the founding of our institution one hundred years ago. The strong relationship between WAAH and the AGH continues through the annual hosting of an exhibition of work by WAAH Members, carefully selected by a jury. This popular exhibition is an important means through which the AGH celebrates its longstanding relationship with the WAAH, and we are very pleased to present the 118th annual exhibition in this, our centennial year.
January 28 – April 29
William Kurelek | The Messenger
The exhibition, a partnership between the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, is curated by Mary Jo Hughes, Tobi Bruce, and Andrew Kear.
Throughout a career that spanned from mid-1950s until his death, William Kurelek (1927-1977) and his art have meant many different things to many people. The Alberta-born, Manitoba-raised artist was a painter of innocence and fun, his scenes reminiscences of a simpler and timeless past. He was also a chronicler of the experiences of various cultural groups in Canada, devoting entire series to Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, Irish, French Canadian, and Inuit peoples. Then there is Kurelek the anguished prophet of a modern apocalypse, his art an indictment of the secular age and a testament to unwavering faith.
An important and unique aspect of this exhibition for Canadian audiences will be the inclusion of several works from Kurelek’s highly formative period in England from 1952 to 1959. During this time the young artist underwent psychiatric treatment and converted to Roman Catholicism, which profoundly altered his subsequent approach to life and art making. It is in consideration of these early works that the exhibition reveals Kurelek’s complex psyche and the central role it played in everything he produced.
As the first large-scale survey of William Kurelek in thirty years, The Messenger seeks to bring together the most important and engaging works executed by the artist during his career. The exhibition opens at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in September 2011 and will travel to Hamilton early next year before its final showing in Victoria during the summer of 2012. This exhibition includes over 80 paintings that encompass the artist’s entire practice. The works are drawn from major private, corporate, and public collections in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. A major publication will be available in September 2011.
Visit www.kurelek.ca for more information. This project is generously funded by the Canadian Government through the Department of Canadian Heritage Museums Assistance Program.
January 14 – May 21
Kristin Bjornerud: Safe Harbour
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Kristin Bjornerud’s lyrical watercolours convey myths and legends, dreams and superstitions. This exhibition features recent works including several made during a residency on the island of Gotland, Sweden in 2010 as winner of the Brucebo Fine Art Foundation scholarship, which is juried in part by the Art Gallery of Hamilton. The Foundation was established by William Blair Bruce, a celebrated Hamilton painter of the turn of the 20th century, and his Swedish-born wife, artist Caroline Benedicks Bruce to support young, emerging artists.
During her summer residency, Bjornerud’s immersion in Gotland’s fabled history and mythological atmosphere had great influence on her works, and she incorporated her usual set of female characters drawn from life experiences. The paintings show scenes of women in tableaux, often in a mode of creation or peculiar activity–whether in Making the Land which shows a woman knitting a large textile piece that flows out like a landscape from her lap; or in A Long View, where a woman gazes out at sea, and her view is captured in a surrealistic manner. Bjornerud’s scenes are playful, laden with references to women as producers, and to fables intertwined with historic events.
The artist wishes to acknowledge the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

Mark Lewis: Rush Hour, Morning and Evening, Cheapside
Organized and circulated by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, as part of the MOMENTUM series
Rush Hour, Morning and Evening, Cheapside (2005), a film work from the Collection of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, captures the moving shadows of pedestrians in the slanting light of morning and end of day when the sun, low in the sky, stretches silhouettes magnificently along the ground. By simply inverting the image, Mark Lewis composes a never-ending rush hour, with early morning perambulations sweeping past in continuous movement, right to the “golden hour” that precedes sunset.
The MOMENTUM series touring project has been made possible with the support of the Department of Canadian Heritage through its Museums Assistance Program.
January 14 – May 21
Mark Lewis: Forte!
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Forte! (2010) was filmed as the artist flew over the Italian Alps and a Napoleonic fort. This film will be shown in the Kate and Robert Steiner gallery, complementing Mark Lewis’s film on view in the Southam gallery.
Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Mark Lewis is now based in London, England. His work has been shown widely around the world to enthusiastic notices, particularly for his contribution to the 2009 Venice Biennale of Visual Art where he represented Canada. In 2007 he was the winner of the inaugural Gershon Iskowitz Prize.
May 19 – September 9
By Popular Demand
Curated by Tobi Bruce
As a lead-in to the installation of Alex Colville’s Horse and Train (by far the most requested work in the AGH collection), By Popular Demand presents not only paintings and sculpture that have become known and favored over time, but also artists whose names have captured a singular and recognizable place in mainstream popular culture.
Masterwork, icon, and treasure are all words repeatedly used to define the singular and the memorable in art. But what is it about certain works that enables them to break away from the crowd? How does an artist’s name move into the mainstream? Is it a question of perceived quality? Timing? Style? Impact? Familiarity? While works are created in the private realm of the studio, their subsequent public lives—in essence their legacies—are subject to circumstances and factors that define them in a both expected and unexpected ways. The exhibition will include works by Lawren Harris, Tom Thomson, Cornelius Krieghoff, Auguste Rodin, Joe Fafard, and Emily Carr, among many others.
Corporate Members: Fengate Capital Management, Pioneer Energy.
May 19 – September 9
Anselm Kiefer
Curated by Melissa Bennett
In 2012, the AGH is presenting solo exhibitions of acclaimed artists whose works represent a singular recognizable vision. On view are three of Anselm Kiefer’s large mixed media paintings, which are unparalleled in their powerful content, negotiating the cultural residue of WWII. Kiefer has become well-known internationally for his highly textured paintings such as those on view here. Symbolic meaning is embedded throughout these pieces in his use of natural materials, numbers and text. Des Herbstes Runengespinst / The Web of Autumn Runes (2003) depicts a desolate landscape that may be interpreted as a charred battlefield, conceivably a site to be memorialized. Himmel Auf Erden / Heaven on Earth (1998) suggests a complex relationship between land, memory and spirituality. Karfunkelfee (2007) refers to a mythical fairy character while it incorporates ambiguous spiritual and geological symbols.
Born in 1945 in Germany, Kiefer studied art informally under Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Academy in the early 1970s. His work has been exhibited in and is collected by major international museums. He lives and works in France.
The Art Gallery of Hamilton would like to thank Dr. Stephen Seltzer and Dr. Stuart Seltzer, as well as a private collector whose generous loans have made this exhibition possible, and Galerie Samuel Lallouz.
June 7 – September 23
Valérie Blass
Organized by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal
Curated by Lesley Johnstone, MACM Curator
Employing virtually every sculptural technique—from moulding, casting, carving and modelling to assemblage and bricolage—Valérie Blass explores the territories between animal, human and inanimate forms, creating strange, hybrid objects. The impact of Blass’s work resides in the anachronistic way she navigates between two sculptural traditions. She makes free-standing, vertical, handmade, human-scale autonomous pieces that locate her squarely within the classical tradition of figurative sculpture. But the diversity of her materials and the plethora of mass-produced, bought and found objects she uses, stemming from an enthusiastic engagement with the material culture of the twenty-first century, anchor her art in assemblage and bricolage. A major publication accompanies the exhibition.
Born in 1967, Valérie Blass lives in Montréal. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual and Media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal. In addition to participating in the first Québec Triennial mounted by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, she has had solo exhibitions at Parisian Laundry and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. She has taken part in group exhibitions organized by the National Gallery of Canada, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the Power Plant. She is currently participating in the exhibition Oh, Canada at MASS MoCA. Valérie Blass is represented by Parisian Laundry.
May 12 – October 28
Nature and Spirit: Emily Carr’s Coastal Landscapes
Organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery
Curated by Ian Thom, Senior Curator, Historical, Vancouver Art Gallery
Before her death in 1945, Emily Carr’s sizeable reputation as an artist, writer and creative innovator was nationally recognized with solo exhibitions, award winning publications and the admiration of her peers. In recent years Carr has gained international renown for her paintings and has been increasingly celebrated as a singular figure in Canadian culture.
A significant touring exhibition of works by Emily Carr, Nature and Spirit traces her evolution as an artist and includes many of the painter’s recognized masterpieces. The works span Carr’s early experiments with European modernism, to her powerful first encounters with Canadian First Nations art and culture, through her mature landscapes, to a final series of works from the period 1940-1942 when she returned to First Nations subjects.
Highlights of the exhibition can be seen in Carr’s early translations of European ideas to a Canadian context in a superb series of paintings made in 1912, including Totem Poles, Kitseukla. The major works of her maturity such as Zunoqua of the Cat Village, Big Raven, and The Little Pine form the central section of the exhibition and are complemented by a series of oil on paper works from the 1930s. These remarkably free studies of the landscape were painted directly from life and illustrate a more expressive and fluid style than in her works on canvas.
Finally, the exhibition presents a series of paintings from 1940-1942 when the artist returned to First Nations subjects with a new confidence and strength. Carr’s paintings from this period celebrate nature and landscape as living entities and convey her profound identification with the land of her birth.
June 30 – January 27, 2013
Fresh Meet
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Tobi Bruce
The AGH is the fortunate recipient of many gifts of art. Special donations and grants also allow us to make important purchases. This exhibition highlights our recent acquisitions of historical and contemporary art, revealing the collecting mandate of the gallery, as well as the tastes of our local, regional and national donors. Collecting decisions are governed by the AGH Acquisitions Committee as well as curatorial staff, and together we are pleased to offer the public a first viewing of some of our most exciting and engaging new works.
Works by local, national and international artists, including Fiona Kinsella, David Milne, Joseph Hartman, John Hartman, Katherine MacDonald, Eldon Garnet, Anne Savage, Frederick Verner, Leon Kroll, Claude Tousignant, David Merritt, and Louis de Niverville make for a fascinating and varied presentation of art past and present, and serve to give an essence of how the permanent collection has been enriched in recent years.
November 18 – April 21, 2013
Jean-Antoine Houdon: Flayed Man
The “living cadaver” might at first glance seem horrifically bizarre. In fact, it continues the tradition of anatomical study that became a cornerstone of artistic training during the Renaissance. The exceptional accuracy of the figure prompted art academies around the world to order plaster casts of it from the artist, bringing the work into the ranks of the revered antique statues, casts of which formed the basis of artistic training.
The oldest sculpture in the Tanenbaum Collection, this Écorché or Flayed Man was an early work by Houdon, France’s greatest Neoclassical sculptor. Houdon created it while he was a Prix de Rome student at the French Academy in Rome during the 1760s, and later used the same skill at precise observation in bust-length portraits—such as that of Napoleon at the entrance to the main galleries—that would make him famous.
October 13 – April 28, 2013
Zidane, A 21st-Century Portrait, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada
Zinédine Zidane was a member of the French national soccer team that won both the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the Euro 2000 Championship. In Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait, internationally renowned artists Douglas Gordon (b. Glasgow, Scotland, 1966) and Philippe Parreno (b. Oran, Algeria, 1964) have deployed contemporary conventions of mass media both to “paint” a portrait of the soccer star, and to portray our cultural creation of, and fascination with, heroes and icons.
This contemporary portrait of Zinédine Zidane was filmed during a championship match between Real Madrid and Villarreal on 23 April 2005. The artists positioned seventeen cameras throughout Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu stadium and directed a team of camera operators to remain fixed on the French soccer star throughout the entire match. This installation juxtaposes a film composed of footage from all seventeen cameras with the raw footage from camera number one. Zidane’s image is projected larger than life so that his every gesture and expression are emphasized. The soundtrack shuttles the viewer between the sounds of the game and an ethereal, introspective space, creating a radically different experience of both soccer and portraiture. Zidane is highly experimental as a portrait, as cinema and as soccer, fusing familiar mediums and genres to produce a radically different experience of spectatorship.
November 10 – May 5, 2013
The Eye of Napoléon
Organized by Exhibits Development Group, USA, in cooperation with the Chalençon Collection, Paris, France.
For all of his military exploits as the great conqueror of modern times, Napoléon was equally astute as a cultural imperialist, bringing French art and industry to a new flowering that aimed to surpass the achievements of antiquity while serving to cement his power and advance his geopolitical ambitions. Drawn from the Chalençon Collection (Paris, France), perhaps the world’s foremost private collection of Napoléonic material, The Eye of Napoléon presents some 200 rare objects that together provide insight into Napoléon’s aesthetic interests, private life, and the remarkable achievement of French painters, draftsmen, and decorative artists working in the Empire Style.
The exhibition’s exceptional quality and range of materials and techniques demonstrates how Napoléon nurtured and harnessed the glories of French art and craftsmanship, always with a special understanding of how things would be interpreted out in the world. From the period’s most renowned artists—painters such as Antoine-Jean Gros and Jean-Baptiste Regnault, and sculptors Jean-Antoine Houdon and Antonio Canova—Napoléon commissioned signal works that imaged the pomp of his reign and diffused his likeness, while gesturing to the cultural authority of the antique. Recalling from his readings in history that every great ruler pervaded an era, Napoléon likewise sought to impress his mark on every domain of the decorative arts, exemplified in the exhibition through magnificent examples of Sèvres porcelain, jewellery and elaborate personal effects.
Also featuring personal items, including Napoléon’s hat, snuffbox and collapsible campaign bed, the exhibition affords us a glimpse of Napoléon the man and functions as an object lesson on how the things with which we surround ourselves define our public identity.
August 25 – June 30, 2013
Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky: The Searchers
Curated by Melissa Bennett
The Searchers is a startling new installation in the David Braley and Nancy Gordon Sculpture Atrium. Perched upon a high ledge, these five contemporary sculptures modeled after everyday youths look down upon visitors, activating the relationship between object and viewer. Referencing street culture, film, architecture and the occupation of public space, the figures have an enigmatic presence. The works take their title from John Ford’s classic western film wherein male figures are often juxtaposed against an expansive sky. In contrast, these sculptures are seated, decidedly loitering and assessing the scene at once.
Rhonda Weppler (born in Winnipeg) and Trevor Mahovsky (born in Calgary) are collaborative artists based in San Francisco and Vancouver. Their work is featured in two Toronto venues this fall: a solo exhibition at Pari Nadimi Gallery, and an installation at Scotiabank Nuit Blanche on September 29, 2012.
February 4 – May 13
Women’s Art Association of Hamilton 116th Annual Juried Exhibition
Founded in 1894, the Women’s Art Association is one of Hamilton’s oldest and most important art associations. Ties between the WAAH and the Art Gallery of Hamilton are formative and longstanding, stemming back to the formation of the AGH in 1914, in part through the tireless efforts of early WAAH members. The strong relationship between our organizations continues through the Gallery’s presentation of the WAAH’s annual juried exhibition. A favourite with the public, the selection of works by jury is always a great mix of works by seasoned exhibitors and newcomers alike. 2012 will mark the WAAH’s 116th annual exhibition; an extraordinary record by any measure.
May 18 – June 17
SAGE: Follow Your Art VI
Celebrating an on-going partnership between the SAGE program at Strathcona School and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, this exhibition of student work is the result of an intensive program of tours and hands-on studio activities that took place at the Gallery in through the school year of 2011-12. Over the course of 5 visits for students from senior kindergarten to grade 5, our young artists explored the beauty of quilts and photographs, the narrative message of William Kurelek and the wonder of Emily Carr’s landscape paintings. In this exhibition we see the results of the year’s journey. From the exuberance of the kindergarten and grade one classes that embrace every activity with joy and fun to the creative and imaginative vision of the two’s and three’s though to the growing talents of the four’s and five’s, the SAGE program has once again offered a fantastic exhibition for us to enjoy.
June 23 – July 22
Celebrating the Artist: Earl Kitchener
In a new partnership, the AGH was thrilled to welcome eight classes from Earl Kitchener into the intensive school program. Each student visited the Gallery on five different occasions throughout the school year, spending time with individual exhibitions and artworks to discover the stories hidden in the works, and the special techniques that each of the artists used to achieve their individual masterpieces. In the studio, students took inspiration from the art that they saw in the gallery and used it to create masterpieces of their own. This exhibition offers us the best of each young artist. All of the works on display were created at the AGH, and reveal the talents and passions the students.
July 28 – October 14
October 20 – February 10, 2013
Hamilton Port Authority: A Century in Pictures
The Hamilton Port Authority (HPA) is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2012, marking a century of maritime commerce in the city. The HPA holds an extensive archive of photographs, collected since its early days. This anniversary milestone is an ideal opportunity to share the images and connect with the public’s experience of the harbour and port, which are so vital to Hamilton. Leading up to the exhibition, members of the public are invited to submit their own photographs taken around the harbour, to be included in the display. This exhibition of archival photographs will engage visitors in the many wondrous facets of port life as it has changed over the past century. Visit www.hamiltonport.ca.

Places We Call Home: Mohawk College Student Renderings of Ontario Buildings
Organized by Shannon Kyles
While studying the History of Architecture, the students of Mohawk College’s Architectural Technician, Technology and Building Renovation programs went across Ontario to draw homes, churches, civic and commercial buildings that illustrate the diversity of architectural styles. Instructor Shannon Kyles asked her students to submit their drawings to a competition judged by local architecture and art experts Anthony Butler, Graham Crawford, Robert Hamilton, Craig Simms, and Drew Skuce. The winning drawings, produced in traditional and electronic methods, will be displayed.
Simon Frank View (from the escarpment)
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Simon Frank’s site-specific installation in the AGH foyer is a large monochromatic abstraction created by the physical destruction of the museum wall. By hammering into the drywall with a traditional log-marking tool, he symbolically investigates the history of industries such as logging, exploring their cultural and environmental impacts. Frank often incorporates the landscape in his works, frequently as the result of performative actions. In this way, he highlights the relationship between people, their labour and nature.
January 15 – May 8
Great Masters Series: Matisse – The Colour of JAZZ
Great Masters Series: Miserere – Rouault’s Rhapsody to Suffering
Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable
Ushering in the Gallery’s 2011 French Connection year are adjacent exhibitions of central print series from the careers of two of France’s great twentieth-century modernists. Published respectively in 1947 and 1948, Jazz by Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Miserere by Georges Rouault (1871–1958) complement one another through their fundamental contrasts of sentiment and style. Next to the black-and-white expressionism and sombre mood of Rouault stand out the brilliant colour forms and joie de vivre of Matisse.
Both artists appeared on the Parisian scene through their association in 1905 with Fauvism, the first avant-garde movement of the twentieth century. Yet each man possessed and developed his singular vision — Rouault with an uncommon devotion to religious themes in a secular age — Matisse with a colour sensibility that would make him the greatest French painter of the twentieth century.
Rouault’s Miserere (Latin for “Have mercy”) represents his most sustained meditation on death; he executed the plates for his epic series during and after World War I, using a rich variety of print techniques to arrive at heavy images of Christ and ordinary sufferers. Matisse’s Jazz was composed of crystallized memories of circus, tales, and travels; this seminal creation was the artist’s first major project using the painted paper cut-out, which became his dominant mode of expression in the last decade of his life.
These mutually enriching exhibitions provide a rare opportunity to view Rouault’s and Matisse’s prints, which usually remain in storage due to their special conservation needs. While Rouault’s work was gifted to the Gallery in 1985 by the important Canadian arts benefactor Walter A. Carsen, Matisse’s Jazz comes to us on generous temporary loan from Hamilton’s McMaster Museum of Art.
January 22 – May 8
Eugène Carrière: Shadow and Substance
Organized and circulated by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, California
Eugène Carrière (1849–1906), whose painting was described by a contemporary as reality having the magic of dreams, was an important French exponent of the late-nineteenth-century visionary Symbolist movement. He possessed close ties to other French artists associated with Symbolism, such as Pierre Puvis de Chavannes and the sculptor Auguste Rodin, with whom he helped to found the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1890.
While the world’s largest public collection of work by Carrière is to be found in Paris’s prestigious Musée d’Orsay, the most comprehensive private collection is the one assembled by Dr. Nick Vlachos in Bloomington, Illinois. The current exhibition features the most important works from this outstanding personal collection, ranging from portraits and images of mothers and children to figure studies and landscapes.
Shadow and Substance foregrounds the technical and thematic originality of Carrière’s brand of Symbolism. The painter focused on family members and intimates as a microcosm of the larger brotherhood of mankind, portraying them as universal figures against formless environments. Similarly, he developed a unique style characterized by a monochromatic brown palette, extremely soft-focus contours, and atmospheric effects, which grew from his interest in building up his paintings with subtle light effects and from his spiritualist belief in creation as an ongoing process emanating from fundamental forces.
Complementing the Vlachos collection will be the handful of Carrière paintings the AGH holds in its Tanenbaum Collection, including the masterful allegory of the art of painting — La Peinture (c. 1899) — which the Gallery loaned in 2006 to Tokyo and Paris for a major exhibition devoted to the crossovers between Carrière and his friend the sculptor Rodin.

VidéoStudio: New Work from France
Curated by Thomas J. Lax and organized by The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York
VidéoStudio: New Work from France is a video exhibition organized by The Studio Museum in Harlem, and curated by Thomas J. Lax. It presents the work of three North African artists — Yto Barrada, Bouchra Khalili and Djamel Kokene — who were born or currently live in France. While these artists emerge from a specifically Afro-European context, the exhibition brings together work that considers “France” — and the very idea of the nation — as a concept rather than a stable category. Each artist reinterprets techniques drawn from artistic genres including guerilla theater, documentary film and narrative storytelling. Together these works encourage viewers to consider the relationship between individuals and the state; culture and the law; and identity and modes of representation.
VidéoStudio: New Work from France rassemble l’œuvre de trois artistes — Yto Barrada, Bouchra Khalili et Djamel Kokene — qui tous trois sont engagés dans une réflexion sur une esthétique de l’errance. Si chacun de ces artistes a travaillé à la fois en France et au Maghreb, dans leurs travaux, la géographie représente une ressource conceptuelle, qui prend pour point de départ les limites de l’appartenance nationale. La «France» décrite ici, est cet espace entre deux, délimitant une définition de l’art dans le contexte de l’identité nationale, tout en mettant en crise cette approche. Plutôt que d’être le simple point commun de leur travail, l’exil définit ici une esthétique en mouvement, qui investit un interstice aux limites de la loi.

Diane Landry: The Defibrillators
Curated by Eve-Lyne Beaudry and produced by the Musée d’art de Joliette
The Defibrillators is a travelling retrospective exhibition of works created over the last ten years by Diane Landry, a leading figure in Québec contemporary art. This exhibition reveals her innovative approach to art-making. Landry takes her inspiration from the world around her to create playful environments that plunge the visitor into an experience of sights, sounds and emotions. She recycles, transforms, manipulates and falsifies everyday objects, wrenching them from their original function to imbue them with a new kind of poetry. Incorporating into her works the time-based element of performance and the spatial dimension of installation and kinetic art, this multi-disciplinary artist seeks to destabilize viewers, stimulating in them a new perception of familiar objects.
Born in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Diane Landry lives and works in Québec City. In addition to the many awards she has won throughout her career, she recently became the first recipient of the Giverny Capital Prize, granted for excellence in present-day art in Québec.
Diane Landry: The Defibrillators is curated by Eve-Lyne Beaudry, and is produced by the Musée d’art de Joliette. An exhibition catalogue is co-published by the MAJ and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
Les défibrillateurs est une exposition rétrospective itinérante regroupant des oeuvres de Diane Landry créées au cours des dix dernières années. Premier regard rétrospectif sur la production de cette figure majeure de l’art contemporain au Québec, cette exposition met de l’avant toute la pertinence de son travail et de sa démarche artistique.
Diane Landry s’inspire de tout ce qui l’entoure pour créer des environnements ludiques, plongeant le spectateur au coeur d’une expérience à la fois visuelle, sonore et émotionnelle. À travers ses oeuvres, elle recycle, manipule et transforme les objets de notre quotidien, les détournant de leur fonction première pour leur insuffler une poésie nouvelle. Intégrant à ses oeuvres l’aspect temporel de la performance et l’aspect spatial de l’installation, cette artiste multidisciplinaire cherche à déstabiliser le spectateur et à provoquer chez lui une perception différente de ce qui lui est familier.
Native du Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Diane Landry vit et travaille à Québec. En plus des nombreux prix qu’elle a reçus tout au long de sa carrière, elle est récemment devenue la première lauréate du prix Giverny Capital, prix qui souligne l’excellence dans l’art actuel au Québec.

Brendan Fernandes: New Video Acquisitions
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Following Brendan Fernandes’ AGH exhibition until we fearless last year, the Gallery acquired two of his video works, Foe (2008) and Performing Foe (2009). This purchase was made possible with the generous support of Pierre Karch and Mariel O’Neill-Karch, with matching funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance for Art Museums and Public Galleries program.
In his works, Fernandes often explores the topics of post-colonialism and identity in globalized cultures. In Foe and Performing Foe, the artist examines the ways in which one learns to speak in a culturally specific way. In Foe, we hear an off-screen acting coach teach Fernandes how to enunciate in the “accents” of his cultural backgrounds, and we see him struggle to imitate these nuanced words. The script is taken from the book “Foe” which is a sequel to “Robinson Crusoe.” Fernandes reads the section wherein Friday (the savage) has been mutilated; his tongue has been removed and he cannot speak. Fernandes then takes on the role of teacher to a group of students in Performing Foe, leading them in the same lessons of pronunciation. These pieces play on the notion of pedagogy through mimicry and disguise; Fernandes’ interests are not in the authenticity of these accents but in the idea of being taught to speak in these voices. He asks the viewer to consider the ways in which language and culture are acquired and communicated.

The French Connection
Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable and Tobi Bruce
For Canadian artists working in the last quarter of the 19th century, the lure of Paris was irresistible. With its teaching and exhibition opportunities, international artists flocked to the City of Lights in search of education and artistic validation. Indeed, during this period, an extended stay in Paris became an artistic rite of passage, with increasing numbers of Canadians boarding steamships to make their way across the Atlantic to pit their talents against the very best. In Paris, both emerging and mature artists found themselves in a vibrant and experimental artistic culture, unparalleled in the Western world.
This exhibition explores the essence of the French experience for Canadian artists and how it manifested itself in their work and thinking, alongside work by their French masters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) and Jean-Paul Laurens (1838–1921). A central theme of the exhibition is a consideration of the annual Paris Salons, acceptance to which was considered the very apogee of one’s training in Paris. As such, The French Connection brings together works exhibited by Canadian artists at these pivotal exhibitions by such artists as Paul Peel (1860– 1892), Maurice Cullen (1866 – 1934), William Blair Bruce (1859–1906), George Reid (1860–1947), Laura Muntz (1860 – 1930) and Sophie Pemberton (1869–1959), among others.
This exhibition is funded in part by the Canadian Government through the Department of Canadian Heritage Museums Assistance Program.

Elegant Verve: Modern French Graphics from the Collection
Curated by Tara Ng, Curatorial Intern, with Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable
Comprising a selection of prints, drawings, and sketches, Elegant Verve: Modern French Graphics from the Collection captures the vibrant spirit of graphic art by the French avant-garde in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The latter half of the nineteenth century marked the beginning of an unprecedented degree of exploration in graphic media, giving rise to the rich diversity and originality that has distinguished French prints of the past two centuries.
In the mid-nineteenth century, realism was championed by such artists as Honoré Daumier and Édouard Manet. Daumier’s satirical depictions of bourgeois society in his lithographs for the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari reveal not only his delightful wit but also his uncompromising honesty. While lithography thrived in commercial applications, etching experienced a revival among realist painters. Etching became an important medium for Manet, and it served as the means through which he explored a wide spectrum of styles, ranging from the naïve to the naturalistic.
From a slightly later period, brisk contour lines capture the graceful movement of the human form in the etchings of the Impressionist artist Renoir. As exemplified in The Three Bathers (1894), the Nabi artist Vallotton took advantage of the woodcut to produce broad sections of boldly defined forms. Other featured artists from this period include Tissot, Seurat, Vuillard, and Bonnard.
Owing to masters such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Léger, Arp, and Bourgeois, graphic media continued to demonstrate great vitality in the modern art movements of the twentieth century, from Cubism to Surrealism and beyond. Picasso’s simplified organic contours, Chagall’s thick expressive lines, and Bourgeois’s rhythmically undulating forms attest to the enduring freedom of expression in the graphic arts of France.

Peter Karuna: All in Good Time
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Peter Karuna is a Hamilton-based visual artist working with photography, video, sculpture and installation art. This exhibition of photographs shows the range of his practice over the last forty-five years, since he began working as a press photographer in London, England, at the age of sixteen. Many of his images are candid—they arrest rare moments when things ironic or beautiful align. Pictured here are scenes in London, England, Marseille, France, and Hamilton and surrounding areas. Karuna’s longstanding commitment to ecological and social issues is evident. Time itself is a reigning theme in Karuna’s works—the mechanics of the medium of photography, and the poetics of time’s passage. As broad as his subject matter is, time’s fleeting character is a shared principle. Mostly black and white images, with a few in colour, the photographs were captured on film and digitally and are carefully printed by the artist.
Karuna has been teaching at the Dundas Valley School of Art for more than twenty years. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Sociology from the University of Guelph, and a teaching degree from Brock University. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, screenings and festivals across Canada, as well as in Cuba, Scotland, the USA and Hungary. He has been a resident artist at educational institutions and galleries in Ontario and California. He is the recipient of numerous production grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. Karuna’s work is in private collections as well as the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Organization of Saskatchewan Art Councils, the Alberta College of Art, Queens University, the Mendel Gallery, and Trinity Square Video, Toronto.

Out of Place / Non lieu: Lise Beaudry, Isabelle Hayeur, Marie-Josée Laframboise
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Working with ideas of place and the imaginary, Lise Beaudry, Isabelle Hayeur and Marie-Josée Laframboise are Canadian francophone artists whose works portray ephemeral sites or places that don’t exist in reality. The AGH is the first Ontario venue for Hayeur’s new body of work Dé-peindre Québec ou l’envers du décor, which addresses gentrification and the preservation of historic sites in old Quebec City. These large scale photographs are digitally altered to include elements that are both factual and fictional, presenting the viewer with seamless views of places that don’t actually exist.
Focusing on the temporal character of a site, Beaudry photographs the snowy surfaces of frozen lakes in a highly minimalist manner. The images are mostly white with little detail. This body of work stems from a past project wherein she documented “la peche blanche,” or ice fishing, in the francophone ice fishing communities of northern Ontario near her hometown, as a study of an important aspect of this area’s culture. She then began turning her camera downward to photograph the ice beneath her in contemplation of the experience of standing on a frozen lake. In aiming her lens downward instead of out to create these “landscapes,” she leverages a new conceptual approach in her work, involving non-representational photography. An accompanying video, Underscape, is shot beneath a lake’s icy surface. In the Gallery, it is projected at a large scale, engrossing the viewer in an experience of an ambiguous liquid environment.
An installation piece by Laframboise makes use of ambiguity as well, in an imaginary landscape made of undulating bright green net, suspended within and stretched across a room. Its surface is transparent, but the forms read as solid. The piece is created in a performative and intuitive manner, as the artist culls her memory for impressions of places she’s been. The viewer’s experience with the piece is subjective—it inspires multiple perspectives on this idea of a place.
As Hayeur has mused, “we continually remake the world in our own minds… In all places the real and the imaginary come together.”1 The works in this exhibition are conceived out of the idea of place, but all the places represented here are “non lieu.” In other words, they are no place at all.

Mise-en-scène: Views of France
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Tobi Bruce
Drawn largely from the Gallery’s extensive holdings, this exhibition explores how artists past and present have responded to and interpreted the French landscape. From explorations of the pastoral views that have in part shaped our perception of France as an idyllic and evocative locale to depictions of Paris as a vibrant metropolitan center, the images presented provide artistic glimpses into the particular charm that has long characterized the country. In Mise-en-scène several generations of European, Canadian and American artists — including James W. Morrice, Christiane Pflug, Albert Marquet, Stephen Shore and Peter Sramek — depict the places that inspired them, in turn transporting us there.

RBC Canadian Painting Competition
Established in 1999, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is a tribute to Canada’s artistic talent. The goal of the competition is to support and nurture Canadian visual artists early in their career by providing them with a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunity.
Adjudicated by the Canadian Art Foundation, a jury consisting of distinguished members of the arts community selected five paintings from their regions as follows: Eastern (Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador), Central (Ontario), Western Canada (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut). The combined jury then selected one national winner and two honourable mentions from the fifteen semi-finalists.
RBC, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, has named Vancouver artist Rebecca Brewer the national winner of the 13th annual RBC Canadian Painting Competition. Rebecca was awarded a $25,000 purchase prize for her original work, entitled Beuys painting. Two honourable mentions were given to Beth Stuart of Toronto for her work entitled 02, from the Doppelbanger series and Deirdre McAdams of Vancouver for her work entitled Blotto. Beth and Deirdre were each awarded $15,000 for their work.
Works by each of the fifteen semi-finalists will be on display in this exhibition. For more information, please visit www.rbc.com/paintingcompetition.

passe-partout A Century of Canadians in France
Curated by Tobi Bruce
Artists have long journeyed across the Atlantic to Paris in search of training, inspiration and immersion in a culture that — in the decades surrounding the turn of the twentieth century — was at the center of the Western art world. Canadians were no exception. The soaring wall represents three generations of Canadian artists in France over the course of a century.
At ground level are paintings by the first generation of artists to board steamships bound for the continent, each of whom spent protracted periods studying, living and painting in Paris and its various and picturesque countrysides. These artists were exposed to a range of aesthetic approaches, including Academic art and Impressionism, elements of which they adapted to their own practices. Those who returned to Canada, such as Maurice Cullen and William Brymner, brought with them ideas and techniques learned abroad, thereby expanding art practice — and opening wide the eyes of the public — back home.
Cullen’s stepson Robert Pilot, together with many artists of his generation, followed in their predecessors’ footsteps. And while some of this generation also trained abroad, given the increased and more progressive teaching opportunities becoming available in Canada (in part due to the earlier generation), their experiences tended more toward informal training in the form of exploratory travel and the extensive viewing of art work.
And then there was Jean-Paul Riopelle who, at the tender age of twenty-two and working as a ship’s hand, made his first journey to Paris in 1946, settling there in December 1948 and marking his first solo show there the following year. Like those artists of the first generation in the late nineteenth century, Riopelle found himself in a progressive and exciting artistic milieu that was at the vanguard of art production. Ensuing years overseas brought him both increased success and immersion in the Parisian cultural scene.
The French experience defined, to varying degrees, the practice of these artists. Their ability to passe partout, to move freely and explore, to invest in the rich cultural and artistic environment in which they found themselves, expanded their individual visions and, correspondingly, their painting practices.

Attila Richard Lukacs from the Collection of Salah J. Bachir
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Salah J. Bachir’s collection of Attila Richard Lukacs’ work is unparalleled in its scope, representing the various series for which Lukacs has become well-known.
More than thirty works are on display, including grand portraits of decadent male nudes, poetic and mythological scenes, works from the artist’s military series, Polaroid photographs used as studies for paintings, as well as a new abstract painting that has drawn a lot of attention for its departure from the figurative. Consistent throughout the works is a highly engaging, mystical, allegorical component — images of fabled lovers and animalistic characters.
Over the years, Bachir’s astute selections have come to form a comprehensive collection of works by one of Canada’s greatest contemporary painters.

Masters of French Realism
Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable
The Art Gallery of Hamilton is fortunate to own a large body of works by various French painters associated with the central nineteenth-century artistic movement Realism, which achieved its most coherent expression in French painting. So, what better time than the year of The French Connection to celebrate these masters of French Realism, and explore the relationships and distinctions between them?
At the centre of French Realism was Gustave Courbet (1819–1877), represented in the exhibition by two landscape paintings. After the rejection of three of his fourteen submissions to the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Courbet made the daring move to hold his own private exhibition opposite the official exposition grounds, calling his space the Pavillon du Réalisme. While Courbet’s Realist representations of peasants and labourers were motivated by strong political views and he always enjoyed thumbing his nose in the face of accepted taste and rules, other French Realists found both popular and critical success with their naturalistically painted humble subjects.
A case in point is Philippe Rousseau (1816–1887), whose specialty in still-lifes steeped in the tradition of seventeenth-century French master Chardin made him a favourite of Princess Mathilde and other Second Empire notables. Another type of Realism is represented in the work of James Tissot (1836–1902), whose Croquet has long been one of the favourite European paintings in the collection and is a quintessential expression of Tissot’s interest in portraying contemporary fashionable ladies. Several other artists in the exhibition infused their Realism with an eye to past traditions, for example Théodule Ribot, who was inspired by the Dutch master Rembrandt and the Spanish master Ribera.
The Gallery owns more than twenty works by Ribot, who is the single best represented artist in the AGH Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Collection. More generally, most of the other works on display — by associated artists such as François Bonvin and Antoine Vollon — form part of the Tanenbaum Collection; together they reveal Realism to be a primary strength of this collection.

Becoming: Photographs from the Collection of John and Ginny Soule
Curated by Melissa Bennett
The photographs in the collection of John and Ginny Soule span the late 19th century to the present day, illustrating the hallmark styles of photography as it progressed through the 20th century. In its beginnings, photography was not considered a fine art form, but was in the process of becoming. Likewise, the Soule’s collection is evolving, growing along with their passion for photography. The images themselves are striking, haunting and beautiful; in their own right, they are becoming pictures.
John Soule has fond memories of how his passion for photography began. He remembers, “at some point in the mid- to late 1960s Life Magazine did a spread of photographs by Jerry Uelsmann who produced images from multiple negatives which were, in my mind, bizarre and thought-provoking. I removed the various images from the magazine, crudely framed them with cardboard backing, and hung them in my bedroom. It was cheap and amateurish, but I enjoyed observing the images, and that became my first small step to the collection we have today.”
With great pleasure, John and Ginny went on to collect veritable photographs by Jerry Uelsmann (American, b. 1934), which are on display in this exhibition amongst other striking works by Edward Steichen (American, 1879-1973), Édouard Boubat (French, 1923-1999), André Kertész (Hungarian-American, 1894-1985), Heinrich Kühn (German-Austrian, 1866-1944), Frank Sutcliffe (British, 1853-1941), Horst P. Horst (German-American, 1906-1999), and contemporary Canadian pieces by Barbara Astman and Jesse Boles.

Quilts! A Gift from Carole and Howard Tanenbaum to the Textile Museum of Canada
Organized and circulated by the Textile Museum of Canada
Quilts! celebrates the donation of Carole and Howard Tanenbaum’s impressive collection of quilts to the Textile Museum of Canada in 2011. As serious collectors of material ranging from photography to paintings and sculpture, their quilt collection began when they happened upon one in a Stratford antique store and decided they had to have it. The collection grew from there. As longstanding collectors, the Tanenbaums have developed a keen and sensitive eye, and while the quilts originally served a functional purpose, it is evident that they entered the collection on artistic and aesthetic merits alone.
Dating primarily to the latter part of the nineteenth century, these quilts were made in the United States, Canada and England. Originally used as bedding, furnishings, as well as markers of family and community celebration, most of the quilts’ makers are unknown and their ancestry obscure. While their meaning and social messages have evolved, they continue to offer exquisite articulations of history, tradition and craftsmanship.

Size Matters
Curated by Melissa Bennett and Tobi Bruce
Scale—both physical and perceived—plays an important part in how we experience an artwork. Whether we look at an ambitious twelve-foot canvas or a miniature artwork the size of a locket, the dimensions of any given object can both define and condition how we perceive and engage with it. Large paintings can be appreciated either by stepping back to make sense of the whole, or by moving closer to explore the details of the brushstrokes. Conversely, the delicate and diminutive scale of smaller works might offer an intimacy that feels conspiratorial, as we lean in, getting to know our subject.
This exhibition explores the AGH collection from this perspective, as we ask ourselves how scale defines an artwork and, in turn, how size shapes our interaction with objects. Size Matters is largely an exploration, posing questions about what the scale of an object can communicate.

From Rude to Rodin
Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable
The largest and most important segment of the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s European sculpture collection is its rich selection of works by French artists of the nineteenth century, which we celebrate here within the context of our 2011 French Connection theme.
On view for most of the year in the AGH David Braley and Nancy Gordon Sculpture Atrium will be bronzes, terra cottas, and plasters by the masters of nineteenth-century French sculpting, such as François Rude and Antoine-Louis Barye; the mid-century giants Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse; and the later modernist pioneers Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin. Along the way visitors will discover the work of sculptors who are less well known today but achieved acclaim at the Paris Salons, including Henri Chapu, Paul Dubois, and Rodin’s contemporary Jules Dalou. In artworks whose subjects range from mythology to everyday life, viewers can appreciate the technical brilliance and dramatic panache of nineteenth-century French sculpture from Romanticism to modernism.

Women’s Art Association of Hamilton 115th Annual Juried Exhibition
A longstanding and vibrant institution within the cultural life of the City, the Women’s Art Association of Hamilton was founded in 1894; twenty years later its members helped support the establishment of the Art Gallery of Hamilton, another historic and vital Hamilton arts institution. An illustration of the ongoing ties between these two organizations is the regular hosting at the Gallery of the WAAH’s annual juried exhibition of works by members, which in 2011 marks its 115th year. Viewers can appreciate the richness of techniques, styles, and themes that characterize works chosen by jury for this special exhibition. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the WAAH for its commitment to the Gallery and its programs, which in addition to sustained financial support has included the donation of important artworks over the years, for instance, paintings by Arthur Lismer, Hortense Gordon, and most recently the local contemporary artist Bruno Capolongo (Contemporary with Urn, Quince and Pence, Contemporary Still-Life #31 / 2005 / encaustic on panel / donated 2009).

Follow Your Art VI: SAGE Student Exhibition
This year’s SAGE (Scholastics Arts Global Education) student exhibition from Strathcona School features an exciting array of works from students from Senior Kindergarten through Grade 5. In the sixth year of the AGH / SAGE partnership, artworks inspired by AGH exhibitions and students’ own interest examine the theme of awareness – individual awareness represented by personal possessions, cultural awareness inspired by the African works in the Tanenbaum African Collection, and environmental awareness inspired by Diane Landry’s integration of everyday, recyclable objects in her artwork. SAGE students visited the AGH five times throughout the school year, studying select exhibitions in depth and creating work based on their experiences. This exhibition is the culmination of a year’s work for 91 talented students.

Ruby B. McQuesten: The Jewel of Whitehern
Presented by the City of Hamilton, Whitehern Historic House and Garden
Artist and devoted letter writer, Ruby Baker McQuesten (1879-1911) of Whitehern Museum passed away from tuberculosis at the young age of thirty-one. The pairings of paintings, drawings and letters featured in Ruby B. McQuesten: The Jewel of Whitehern demonstrate that despite its brevity, her life was resplendent with love for her family, humour, dynamism, and an appreciation of art. From her education at the Hamilton Art School beginning in 1894, through her career as a teacher in Ottawa, to her untimely death in 1911, Ruby Baker McQuesten produced more than sixty-five paintings, drawings, and pyrography objects. Comprising studies of the surrounding landscape, floral arrangements and still-lifes, these paintings and drawings document a life inspired by the simplicity and beauty of the natural world. Accompanied by original letters sent home to Whitehern, this exhibition presents a unique cache of fine art native to Hamilton. The Hamilton Historical Board has declared 2011 to be the “Year of the McQuestens.”

Rick Pottruff: Search Engine City
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Rick Pottruff’s large-scale, intricate and gestural drawings of cities, bridges, cars, ships, planets and technological devices provide ample opportunity for viewers to be psychologically transported into the worlds he creates. His hybrid style combines the devices of illustration, fine art, and film. This summer, Pottruff undertook a new large drawing that will expand over the AGH foyer wall. Incorporating images of industry, traffic and more, he portrays an explosive dystopian scene that catapults the viewer’s eye across its many detailed sections.
Pottruff has been teaching art at the postsecondary level for over thirty years, and has taught at York University, the University of Guelph, the University of Waterloo, the University of Regina, Sheridan College, and currently teaches at Seneca College. He has had over thirty-five solo exhibitions in Canada, including at the AGH, and also in the USA and England. His work is in the collections of the AGH, McMaster Museum, the Canada Council Art Bank, the Art Gallery of Brant, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Gallery Stratford, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, and the Mackenzie Art Gallery. Pottruff was born in Hamilton and lives in Brantford, Ontario.

Posing Beauty in African American Culture
Curated by Deborah Willis and organized by Curatorial Assistance, Pasadena, California
Ushering in the AGH’s Vital Africa theme, Posing Beauty explores the contested ways in which African American beauty has been represented in the media in both historical and contemporary contexts. Throughout the Western history of art and image-making, beauty has been idealized and challenged, and the relationship between beauty and art has become increasingly complex within contemporary art and popular culture. This exhibition of photography challenges the relationship between beauty and art by examining the representation of beauty as a racialized act fraught with meanings and attitudes about class, gender, and aesthetics.
Posing Beauty examines contemporary understandings of beauty by framing the notion of aesthetics, race, class and gender within art, popular culture, and political contexts. This exhibition features works drawn from public and private collections and will be accompanied by a book published by W.W. Norton. Artists in the exhibition include Carrie Mae Weems, Hank Willis Thomas, Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Eve Arnold and Edward Curtis.
Dr. Deborah Willis is a Professor and Chair of the Photography and Imaging Department at New York University. She was named among the 100 Most Important People in Photography by American Photography Magazine.
After closing at the AGH on May 9, 2010, Posing Beauty in African American Culture will travel to Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, Mass., the Newark Museum in New Jersey and USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles. The Art Gallery of Hamilton is currently the only Canadian venue.

Ritual Evidence: Tim Whiten
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Tim Whiten’s artistic practice, developed over the past forty years, has consistently probed transcendental themes related to rituals and relics. Using authentic human skulls, his sculptural pieces cause an arresting encounter. Featured works from the AGH collection are Ram, Canticle for Adrienne, and Siege Perilous. Upon first encounter, the works may appear unsettling in their gravity, but in fact they invite the viewer to engage in personal reflection on one’s place in the physical world. To experience the essence of Whiten’s practice, the viewer can interact with Ram. To understand the work, the viewer must kneel at the height of a human skull perched on a cedar log. This act of kneeling is akin to the act of supplication. Peering through an aperture placed in the skull, one can see his or her own reflection in addition to a close-up view of the skull. This combined imagery suggests that above one’s self, there is a superior being. Canticle for Adrienne was made when Whiten’s daughter Adrienne was a child playing in his studio. The form of this work reflects the shape of her crib, and also plays on the idea that one must always work from what has been historically pre-determined. Siege Perilous is a wooden chair with skulls mounted on its arm rests. This work generally represents a seat of power and betrayal, and specifically references the person who betrayed Christ and the thirteenth seat at the Last Supper. This exhibition of Whiten’s work is commanding – both spiritually and visually.
Whiten is a highly prolific senior-career Canadian artist who has influenced generations of artists through his position as Professor of Fine Art at York University since 1968. His works have appeared in solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. He is represented by Olga Korper Gallery in Toronto.

Arctic Passion: The Inuit Art Collection of Christopher Bredt and Jamie Cameron
Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable
This segment of the ongoing AGH Collectors Exhibitions Series features selected works from one of the best private collections of Inuit art that exists today in Canada — the collection of Christopher Bredt and Jamie Cameron in nearby Toronto. Assembled over many years, this notable collection includes comprehensive holdings from different areas like Baffin Island and Baker Lake, revealing a side to Inuit art that many of us do not usually recognize: the rich variety of Inuit visual expression — extending to materials and subjects, as well as intentions, meanings and moods. Bredt and Cameron, respectively a hardworking practitioner and professor of law, possess an intimate relationship with these objects they have collected together and live with daily — the couple’s collection expresses both their passionate appreciation of the forms of Inuit art, and their uncommon understanding of Inuit art’s development and cultural context. The AGH is proud to usher in 2010 with this public presentation of choice Inuit sculptures and prints, which comes on the heels of the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of catalogued Inuit prints in 1959 — at Cape Dorset, one of the major locales to be represented with singular breadth in the Bredt and Cameron collection.

End of the American Road: Terence Byrnes
Curated by Melissa Bennett
Premiering in Canada, Terence Byrnes’ photographic series Springfield, Ohio: The End of the American Road yields surprising views of small town America. Byrnes has been photographing the people and places of Springfield for over forty years. On his annual visits, he looks for things that might often be overlooked, and many of his images show people living in poverty. Byrnes has formed enduring friendships with the many locals who are unlikely to escape Springfield’s tight orbits of class and race.
Often compared to the work of Walker Evans, Byrnes’ images are moving in their depiction of the lives of the citizens of Springfield. The images are at times flecked with humour, or tenderness, or plain, if shocking, realities of American life. On display are black and white and colour photographs taken from 1966 up to the present, showing the evolution of people and place while Byrnes’ unassuming presence remains a constant. Byrnes is a Montreal-based artist and author. His photographs have been exhibited in Canada and the USA.
January 30 – May 24
david merritt: sham
Curated by Melissa Bennett
David Merritt’s works are playful, serious, humorous and conceptually weighted all at once. He examines the relationship between the way words are used, and the way they appear when written. Taking the words of popular songs, he charts them in intricately drawn diagrams, making connections between the many songs that use the same phrases, such as “last train”. Interwoven lines, supplemented by many erasures, place an authoritative yet absurd order on the content of pop songs. Merritt’s signature sculptural works are also on display: delicate forms are made from unraveled lengths of sisal rope. Battling the tensions between heavy and light, some of the sisal sculptures also incorporate language, working with the themes of music, and the connections between words, meanings, and their visual presence in popular culture.
Merritt’s work has been exhibited in Canada and internationally, including at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Textile Museum of Canada and TENT CBK, Rotterdam. He is based in London, Ontario and is represented by Jessica Bradley Art + Projects, Toronto. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication co-published with Museum London, the Art Gallery of Windsor, and the MacLaren Art Centre.

Robert Mason
Guest Curated by Shirley Madill
Robert Mason was a Hamilton-based artist who influenced a generation of artists in this community. This large-scale exhibition brings together over forty works from public and private collections including the last suite of works he produced prior to his death in 2005. Expressed through painting, installation, photography and sculpture, Mason’s interests can be contextualized within larger artistic movements in North America such as land art and painterly abstraction. Recurring motifs and themes in Mason’s paintings include the landscape, trees, the night sky and migration. His large outdoor installation pieces, including the placement of caribou sculptures in the water at Hamilton’s Cootes Paradise, evoked his sensitivity and concern for the natural environment in the face of increased industrialization. Known for his dedication to arts and education in Hamilton, Mason is remembered and honoured through this exhibition that uncovers significant stages in his career.

You don’t need a time machine to see what life was like for Ontario’s first settlers more than 200 years ago. You simply have to walk through the gates of time at Westfield Heritage Village! When you pass through those gates, you’ll meet all kinds of interesting characters - blacksmiths, musicians, farmers, cabinetmakers, shopkeepers, printers, innkeepers, boot makers and more, all living and working in Westfield’s village of homes, shops and public buildings. There is always something going on, and it’s a magnificent way to experience the thrills and trials of Ontario’s pioneers and founders.
Westfield Heritage Village is a 465-acre property within the City of Hamilton, midway between Cambridge and Hamilton, near Rockton, Ontario. The property was purchased in 1960 and in 1964 was officially opened with seven relocated and restored heritage buildings from Southern Ontario. It began as a community project initiated by Glenn Kilmer and Goldie MacDonell, two Brantford high school teachers, and it is managed by the Hamilton Conservation Authority. Operated year round as a living history museum, the Village provides special events for the general public, educational programs for students, unique heritage activities and wedding, business rentals and filming opportunities.
An average of 40,000 visitors come to Westfield each year for a wide range of programs, including nearly 12,000 students coming for specialized educational experiences. More than 400 volunteers make a range of valuable contributions to Westfield year-round, with several hundred more volunteers participating in special events and projects.
Westfield’s unparalleled collection of architectural holdings makes it a unique destination and resource for the large and diverse audience it serves. Nearly forty historic structures, including rare historic homes, businesses, agricultural and manufacturing buildings ranging from the late 1700s through to the early 1900s, have been preserved at the museum. The rich artifact collection used to furnish these buildings is from throughout Southern Ontario, and serves to vividly illustrate the environments of early Ontario. Visitors are able to enter these buildings and immerse themselves in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of earlier times. Authentically dressed interpreters in these buildings illustrate historical themes through period activities and demonstrations. Historic buildings of note include the 1793 Queen’s Rangers log cabin, believed to be one of the oldest preserved log structures in Ontario, and the c1810 Westbrook Home, historically significant in that it was originally situated at the site of the 1814 Battle of Malcolm’s Mills, the last land battle of the War of 1812.
Westfield is open every Sunday and holiday in July and August from 12:30 – 4:00 p.m. with a unique historical Fashion Show daily at 2:00 p.m. Visit the heritage buildings to see demonstrations such as blacksmithing, printing and woodworking. Enjoy the trails, gardens and picnic area. The beautiful rural setting of Westfield Heritage Village is the ideal place to escape to on a summer day. Canada Day, July 1st, will be a great opportunity for new Canadians to experience the history of Canada. Free Canada pins will be available for all visitors on this day.
Ice Cream Carnival is a favourite event for all visitors. During this popular event, the costumed interpreters of the village will be cranking out many, many batches of delicious, cool, hand-churned ice cream, and visitors are encouraged to help turn those cranks. If you’ve never tasted ice cream made with real cream, fresh fruit and other delicious ingredients, you are in for a wonderful surprise! There will be lots to see and do during this special event. Enjoy an old fashioned Edwardian Carnival with lots of skill testing games and activities. Traditional carnival foods will add to the fun, with cool lemonade, bottled soda, baked goods and old-fashioned candy at the General Store. Families are always welcome to bring their own picnic to enjoy under a shady tree. Cool off with come delicious summer treats, take in the carnival, and enjoy a day with your family and friends tasting a little history.
Fibre Day is in August as well. Come to the village and enjoy learning about how different types of textile fibres are produced and used. Watch the labour-intensive process that transforms the coarse flax plant into a material that can be used to make lovely linen fabric. Discover the interesting process of spinning and dyeing wool and see what the weaver is making on the loom.
Enjoy the beautiful autumn colours in the fall at Westfield. Bring your camera and capture the amazing fall colours that form a vibrant backdrop to Westfield’s period architecture and costumed interpreters. Telling Tales, held in September, is a day for celebrating stories. Over twenty-five of Canada’s leading children’s writers, illustrators, musicians and storytellers will present to children of all ages. Parking for this event only is at Rockton Fairgrounds with a free shuttle service to Westfield. More information can be found at the Telling Tales website.
Westfield has good roads and a large parking lot that easily accommodates RV’s and other large vehicles for access and parking. There is a lovely shaded picnic area and walking trails through our Teaching Forest and much more. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

Connecting and inspiring people with the stories, histories, cultures and art of York and North Yorkshire
We believe our museums, galleries, collections and spaces have not been available to all our communities and often, do not represent them. Community participation and engagement activities allow us to open up, share our collection and create space for diverse voices and histories. We want to change and develop all our activity and programming in to socially engaged practice to combat and reduce inequalities and deprivation in our city and region to contribute to our civic duty, vision, mission and values. Activities are not just what we display or share with audiences, they will also be inward looking to ensure our strategies, policies and procedures do not contribute to inequality, deprivation or discrimination.
We are currently working on a strategy and framework for community participation and engagement to understand what we can offer and how we can support organisations in their work. We are consulting our partner communities with this and if you want to be involved, do get in touch.
This page highlights our current projects, schemes and initiatives for increasing participation with our communities. To get more information about any of these projects, please contact our Community Participation Manager, Philip Newton philip.newton@ymt.org.uk
Community Participation Scheme
As an independent not-for-profit charity, we reinvest our income back into the city’s cultural offer to care for Yorks’s collections and interpret them for our residents and visitors. We receive funding from the Arts Council and City of York Council, but our most significant income comes from entry fees and paid for activities. Although all sites have a pay barrier, YMT is committed to ensuring that as many people as possible have access to our sites and collections.
The Community Participation Scheme allows us to build relationship with communities where free entry can be used as an incentive or part of a project. The card is designed to mirror our Patron and Supporter schemes and gives total access as a visitor to our sites without the need for payment, prebooking, or handing over any personal information for the individual. Cards are given to community organisations and facilitators loan them to individuals and families they support. We have piloted this programme since 2021 with our core community partners and are looking at ways to expand the project.
Co-curated Exhibitions
We understand that our collections of objects, artworks, places and spaces can provide opportunities for people to connect with themselves, wider communities and people across time and from places far away. By using these assets as conduits for experience, and importantly empowering communities and individuals to make decisions on their care, display, use and future, we will contribute to participatory practice. By using our ethical considerations, we can use collections to support our practices. We believe that there are priorities for participation when our collections respond to the following.
A community is reflected in or connected to an object, piece of art or spaces but do not have a voice in YMTs interpretation, presentation or preservation and care – communities of origin
A community who make up a part of our population or audiences but are absent from our collections or stories – underrepresented, seldom heard or marginalised community
Individuals who can share their lived experiences to better interpret our collections and buildings but may not have a direct connection to an object or space – Socially Engaged Practice
We have co-curated a series of exhibitions with our communities at York Castle Museum and York Art Gallery.

May is Museum Month and in celebration Westfield is pulling some items from our artifact collection to show off. Even during the pandemic over 700 museums, galleries and heritage sites will be participating in their own way to recognize Museum Week which runs May 11 to May 17. This year’s theme is very appropriate – togetherness. First up is a wicker chair.
This past year Westfield was given a Victorian wicker chair in marvelous condition. This chair looks to be from the late 1890’s. There are ones that are very much like it in the Eaton’s catalogue of that time. There were several factories in Canada producing this kind of furniture at the time and they typically followed the trend setting designs of the Heywood-Wakefield company of Massachusetts, USA. These chairs were not cheap. A “Ladies’ reception chair” like ours went for $6.00 in 1894 when a loaf of bread was 3 cents.
It’s important distinction to differentiate the terms “Wicker” from “Ratan”. Ratan is name of the vine-like plant from which the furniture is made. Wicker is actually the name of the weaving method used in its construction. Our chair is mostly made of Reed, not Ratan. It’s going to appear in the Gillen House small parlor, beside the player piano.

Visit this early 19th century homestead once home to the Gage family. The Gages worked the land with their ten children and became a strong voice in the hamlet of Stoney Creek. During the War of 1812, the family retreated to their cellar as the Battle of Stoney Creek raged outside. The 100-foot-high Battlefield Monument stands as a symbol of peace and commemorates those soldiers who died on June 6, 1813. Nestled under the scenic Niagara Escarpment, this historic site encompasses 32 acres of parkland divided by Battlefield Creek.
While at Battlefield Park, be sure to visit their new public art project, The Eagles Among Us by David M. General. The work is a series of four large granite figures that address the theme of healing and reconciliation using interpretations of the cultural traditions of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabek communities.

Yes, the opening of the Design Museum is a significant achievement, but this is not how museums should be made or our buildings conserved – it leaves both culture and architecture diminished
The west end of Kensington High Street has always been a struggle, weighed down by 1930s apartment blocks that menace occupants and passers-by alike. Despite the glamorous location, their brick mediocrity has long ensured a reputation as final redoubts for actors and prostitutes. Now, courtesy of a far more venal profession – the property developer – a new Design Museum nestles in their midst, constructed beneath the remnants of the most important piece of public architecture of the post-Festival of Britain era: the Commonwealth Institute (RMJM, 1960–62).
The purchase of the Commonwealth Institute’s covetable site in 1958 and its consequent construction were paid for out of the public purse, so how did they end up in the hands of arch-developer Stuart Lipton – then of Chelsfield Partners – who reportedly paid a mere £4.32 million in 2007? Today, that sum would barely procure you a two-bed flat in the three gleaming new residential blocks that now hug the Commonwealth Institute’s main exhibition hall in a clumsy embrace. To allow the construction of this £120-million ‘Hollandgreen’ development, the Institute’s original gallery and administrative wings were swept away by the developers, as was its rare modernist landscaping.

The behaviour of Chelsfield has been depressing but predictable, as has that of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, given their desire to bring investment to an area sapped by the opening of the Westfield shopping mall in nearby White City. More dispiriting is the willingness of lead architects OMA and, to a lesser extent, the Design Museum to collaborate in this exercise in profiteering. Their architectural and cultural prestige has lubricated the project’s laborious passage through planning, and for what precisely? The architects have, at long last, their first major London project. The museum has a 175-year, rent-free lease on a ready-made, spacious landmark, albeit in an iffy location, as well as £20 million of funding in kind. And what does London gain? Even by Kensington & Chelsea’s low standards, the residential offering – 54 bland luxury apartments (one at £23 million) with no affordable component – is a sharp slap in the face.
OMA partner Reinier de Graaf offers elaborate explanations of the conceptual complexity of these three new ‘discreet servants’, yet this is hard to square with their highly familiar language of burnished residential luxury, lifted in large part from Swiss cityscapes, complete with sequenced windows and occasional voids and protrusions. He asserts that this appearance ‘registers the amplitude of the [Commonwealth Institute’s] roof’s curvature like graph paper’. The claim is curious, as the three solid, shining rectangles render the subject of this supposed tribute invisible. Twisted 45 degrees from the street, they ‘align with the exhibition hall’, maximising light for interiors yet obscuring views of the Institute (bar that from the north, which, ironically, remains compromised by the same wall that frustrated the original architects in their pursuit of the ‘tent in the park’ concept back in 1960). Two cutaways shelter a private lobby and a forbidding route through to the museum via retail. Security barriers and cameras remain firmly in place. A swimming pool, gym, golf simulator, garages and other tasteless badges of gated life are buried beneath OMA’s new ‘romantic landscape’.

But why should we care about the survival of the Commonwealth Institute anyway? Didn’t it exemplify the polite, gutless mediocrity of the ‘New Elizabethan Architecture’, neither Saarinen nor Smithson? Where is Brutalism’s social urgency? Wasn’t it just some cheap, post-Imperial propaganda project, built literally from the copper, hide and timber of ex-vassal nations? The interior design, with its gestures towards equality, merely mirrored the Commonwealth’s inept political attempts to preserve Britain’s influence by alternative means. Compare the few despairing efforts from the Twentieth Century Society advocating the deeply unfashionable cause of the Commonwealth Institute to the barrage of breast-beating about Robin Hood Gardens, Birmingham Central Library and countless later projects, and it’s pretty clear no one really did give a toss.
But we should have done. The Commonwealth Institute’s hyperbolic paraboloid roof – in many respects unique, in part a result of the recourse to a pair of stockings to provide its form – may still stand, yet the listed modernist building beneath has been ripped out and replaced in its entirety, bar a few 1960s knick-knacks secreted here and there with an air of mild embarrassment. Initially, Kensington & Chelsea and the Commonwealth itself, keen to maximise proceeds from a crumbling, leaking white elephant, tried to raze the entire site. They failed in this ambition thanks to the Grade II* listing dating back in 1988 but, in a highly unusual turn of events, succeeded in 2005 in persuading English Heritage that the listing be altered to indicate that the ‘primary interest’ of the site related to the exhibition hall and that the administrative wing was of ‘lesser interest’, demonstrating a desire at high levels of government to hasten proceedings.
The Commonwealth Institute’s hyperbolic paraboloid roof today
From 2007, huge resources were successfully thrown by new owners Chelsfield into proving that the entire heritage of the site was invested in that concrete-and-copper roof alone. The role of the modernist garden designer Sylvia Crowe, known for her work at Harlow and other new towns, in the English Heritage-listed gardens was aggressively minimized. Even today, de Graaf dismisses this elegant landscape with a knowing smirk as ‘essentially a carpark’, despite widespread respect for its covered ceremonial route, past flagpoles and over a mirror pond, that led directly into the centre of the exhibition hall. Similarly disparaged was the original interior by Peter Newnham and Roger Cunliffe, a heady atrium with circular balconies and a central dais, hailed in 1962 as an ‘immense and obvious success’ by the Architects’ Journal (which was rather less fulsome when appraising the roof). The ‘cheap’ and ‘uninviting’ textured glazing of the Commonwealth Institute’s opaque facade and its ‘prosaic’ wings were continually belittled in planning submissions, which also offered broken promises of increased public and green space, and of a ‘more positive relationship with Kensington High Street’.

Today, all parties – architects, developers, museum and local authority – readily proclaim the line that the final result is an unmitigated blessing, glorying in their achievement of ripping out all but that fragile concrete roof. Their basic premise is that only by ‘liberating’ (OMA’s own term) the roof from its dour 1960s reality could this copper and concrete expanse truly be revealed as an icon of modernism, isolated from anything that might suggest its historical or physical context. De Graaf, who expounds the ‘improvement (or even correction) of a given context’, appeared particularly pleased with himself at the opening as he stated that ‘dead sites and listing go hand in hand’.
Yet the result is a shell. History has been scooped out from under the famed hyperbolic paraboloid, which drew on the pioneering concrete shell structures of Mexican architect Félix Candela in a frail yet understandable attempt to look beyond European architecture in recasting Britain’s contested role in a postcolonial world. It was just one element of an exhibition hall designed to express renewed optimism about the potential of technology, science and mutual understanding to improve society. Its demolished wings may have been clad in austere engineering brick, but they were appropriate in scale and material, housed an admired art gallery and cinema, and existed in an effective, forceful relationship with the main exhibition hall – in short, they were everything that the incongruous, slick Hollandgreen is not.

Terence Conran describes the Design Museum’s new atrium as a ‘cathedral of design’, yet its predecessor was far richer and more revelatory. John Pawson, chosen as the ‘gentlest’ option for the insertion of this new interior within an existing structure, has designed an angled construction in immaculate yet inert oak. Strangely, he compares it to an open-cast mine, but in reality it is one more white cube, the hackneyed option for forced marriages of culture and commerce. Additional levels have been added to house three display spaces (none huge), an auditorium, educational spaces, a cafe, shop and restaurant, members’ and residency spaces, offices, an archive and more. 10,000sq m of ‘modern museum’ have been tightly squeezed under a roof originally designed to house little more than half that. Ironically, the original Commonwealth Institute, with its additional wings, had over 12,000sq m at its disposal, and boasted many of the same facilities. Those were different times.
The inevitable result of this overloading is not gentleness, but an overbearing bulk that both contradicts and conceals much of the roof’s famed curves, hiding or anaesthetising what it purports to reveal. Lacking any focal point, the atmosphere feels more educational than uplifting – its predecessor, long mocked as a hangout of school trips, at least transcended its role.

So, the diminished roof is, as intended, the sole architectural gesture left on site, sheltering a glossy new structure – part-replica, part-revamp – underneath, pimped up with shiny transparent glazing to maximize event revenue and wow factor at night. It’s hard to feel that anyone comes well out of this act of ‘conservation’. The architectural press, with the occasional noble exception, has retreated into polite equivocation to avoid offence and inconvenience. Heritage bodies are left licking their wounds. Simon Thurley, their voice in government at English Heritage from 2002 until 2015, has confirmed his long-standing reputation as a lukewarm advocate of 20th-century architecture, proclaiming the transformation of the Commonwealth Institute a ‘successful conclusion’ – even, worryingly, a precedent. Apparently, modernist architecture must embrace radical transformation to overcome popular hostility, preserving ‘overall idea and significance’ rather than historic fabric. If introducing a new museum into an existing museum structure requires the latter’s gutting and the sale of all its public land, it seems we must celebrate this outcome. One can only wonder how Thurley feels more significant changes of use should be handled.
One historical parallel might be the Queen’s Tower in South Kensington – the sole remnant of the Commonwealth Institute’s predecessor, the Imperial Institute, whose demolition lead directly to the foundation of the Victorian Society. Yet the Commonwealth Institute was all the more precious for being so much rarer. Given its historical context, it was indeed flawed and cheaply built, but that very context is a key part of the reason it was originally listed. More, it employed built form to express the architectural, political and social aspirations of its time. The glistening, crystal now standing in its place also speaks of its time, highlighting the Faustian monetary pacts that are involved in museum-making and architectural practice today. Highlighting post-Imperial sins may be a congenial means of virtue-signalling, but our own era has a great deal to answer for, and that is where we should concentrate our attention.
The construction of the Commonwealth Institute (1960–62)
So now it is left to the Design Museum to fill the new structure with meaning. ‘Design’ has become a grandiose term, all-encompassing in remit and ambition. This does provide wide scope for exhibitions, hopefully ensuring the Design Museum’s viability in its challenging new location, as long as installations of design art do not proliferate. The initial exhibition, Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World, does not bode well in this regard, tending towards jargon, video work and insular navel-gazing of the sort that is hardly ideal for a museum pronouncing its desire to ‘move in from the margins’, be a ‘mainstream part of the conversation of the world around us’ and, incidentally, attract 650,000 visitors a year. Yet a degree of stall-setting for design’s expansive new era is understandable, and thankfully the future programme looks significantly more concrete.
Of greater concern, given director Deyan Sudjic’s brave intent that the Design Museum become ‘a world-leading creative centre for design and architecture’, is the casual, destructive disregard that has already been shown for previous generations of practitioners on the site. The project deserves to succeed – mountains have been moved to bring it to pass – and we should wish it well. But it will always be tinged with a certain sadness. This is not how museums should be made, nor how buildings preserved, but these two ambitions have been ruthlessly crunched together at the behest of real-estate profits, because we are no longer willing or able to fund either of these goals from the public purse. If anything, the new Design Museum is a sharp reminder that the narcissism of starchitects and the expansionism of design advocates remain essentially powerless against the political and economic forces now shaping our cities.

Opening at Here East in 2025, V&A East Storehouse is a unique new museum experience opening up the V&A collection to everyone. A short walk across the park, also opening in 2025, V&A East Museum celebrates making and creativity’s power to bring change. Both sites are part of East Bank, the Mayor of London's £1.1 billion Olympic legacy project, which will create a new arts, innovation and education hub in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
V&A East builds on the V&A's long-standing heritage in east London and our founding mission to make the arts accessible to all. V&A East is a new champion of creativity for the 21st century. Through the lens of makers and making, we will focus on how artists and designers work to transform our world for the better. We will platform diverse, global stories addressing the most pressing issues of our time and champion the pioneering and radical visionaries of the past and present to inspire future makers and critical thinkers.
As a platform for new kinds of creative excellence, V&A East will strive to shift the canon and celebrate work that truly demonstrates the dynamism and complexity of global creativity. We will showcase excellence wherever it comes from and work to highlight under-represented movements and voices by presenting a diverse range of perspectives to advance cultural conversations.
Exploring global making histories and the myriad motivations to make will unite all our programming: from collection galleries to the blockbuster exhibitions focused on global visionaries; from interdisciplinary partnerships across the East Bank campus and beyond to rich and dynamic public programmes, which will activate V&A East and provide a platform for conversation, collaboration and inspiring encounters with artists, designers and makers from around the world.
More than just a museum or collections store, it will be a creative campus and social space embedded within its local community, focusing on equipping young people with the interest, knowledge, and skills they need to flourish creatively.
Connecting with communities
Fundamental to V&A East is empowering young people and opening pathways into the creative industries. Highlights of our pre-opening initiatives include the V&A East Youth Collective Programme. This rolling 6-month paid opportunity for locals aged between 16 and 25 plays a key role in shaping strategic decisions in the making of V&A East. As part of an ongoing programme of collaborative research with VARI, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, interdisciplinary design collective RESOLVE has been appointed as V&A East's first Youth Workers in Residence to help shape V&A East's future youth programming. RESOLVE has been working with organisations to run a series of creative workshops exploring young people's connection to their local area as an opportunity for creative practice. Their work will culminate in a series of installations, designed and delivered on locations across the Olympic boroughs in collaboration with the young people.
Creative agency A Vibe Called Tech, whose work explores the intersection of black creativity, culture and innovation, joined the V&A East project as part of a new creative residency supported by Google Arts and Culture. They collaborated with young people on a series of digital content experiments to inform V&A East's evolving creative programme. As part of our ambition to open pathways into the creative industries and revolutionise access to our collection, through Your Collection: V&A East in Schools, V&A East director, Gus Casely-Hayford will be bringing objects from the collection out to schools in east London in new and unprecedented ways.
Visit our blog for more details on our pre-opening programmes and research projects
V&A East Storehouse
Designed by New York architects Diller, Scofidio + Renfro with support from UK based architects Austin-Smith:Lord, V&A East Storehouse is a 16,000m2 purpose-built home for over 250,000 objects, 350,000 library books and 1,000 archives. Offering an entirely new museum experience, V&A East Storehouse will take visitors on a journey across time, through self-guided tours and changing displays. The Storehouse's programme will explore why objects are collected, how they are cared for, conserved and displayed and will reveal the latest research emerging from the collections. Further spaces within the centre will host pop-up displays, workshops, performances and screenings alongside live encounters with the museum's work – from conservation and research to exhibition preparation. This new model builds on the continued success of The Clothworkers' Centre for the Study and Conservation of Textiles and Fashion, which will be relocated to the new centre from Blythe House in west London, where a significant proportion of our collection is currently stored.
From the oldest objects in the V&A's collection, including a pair of ancient Egyptian woven shoes to the smallest, such as 17th century dress pins and exquisite buttons made by celebrated 20th century studio potter, Lucie Rie, the Storehouse will be interspersed with colossal architectural fragments and room sets. Visitors can see the only complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior outside of the US – his 1930s office for American businessman, Edgar J. Kaufmann, revel in an exquisite 15th century carved and gilded wooden ceiling from the now lost Torrijos Palace near Toledo in Spain, and enjoy an original example of the 'Frankfurt Kitchen' designed by the Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, an ingenious innovation in domestic design developed in Frankfurt during the 1920s.
Alongside displays of collection objects the Storehouse will also be a place to encounter treasures from the V&A's Archives of Art and Design and Theatre and Performance Archive collections, which offer great insights into artists, designers and performers' working practices. These include the archives of Glastonbury Festival and Talawa Theatre Company, the newly acquired Sir Kenneth Grange Archive, charting the extraordinary 60-year career of the designer who has designed everything from Kodak cameras to Kenwood Mixers and the TX1 Black Cab, as well as items from singer-songwriter PJ Harvey's Archive, including her first electric guitar, originally stolen and only recently returned to her and gifted to the V&A.
V&A East Museum
Designed by Dublin-based architects O'Donnell + Tuomey, the five-storey V&A East Museum spans about 7,000 sqm and will offer welcoming spaces to socialise, as well as major exhibitions, festivals, commissions, installations, live performances, pop-ups and late-night events.
The main exhibition hall will present major shows celebrating the leading artists, designers and performers of our time. Two collection galleries will explore global making with new acquisitions, commissions and live activations presented alongside collection displays. The galleries will also include stories of east London's creative and manufacturing heritage, spotlighting local makers past and present alongside a creative studio for both drop-in and pre-booked activities. An installation and events space on the top floor will be the focal point for V&A East's global partnerships programme, hosting interdisciplinary collaborations, new commissions and events.
In the galleries, objects drawn from across time and space will come together in a thematic framework exploring attitudes and agendas for making in the twenty-first century. Collection highlights include artist Leigh Bowery's subversive costumes for Michael Clark’s 1987 ballet Because We Must and experiments in portraiture from photographers Maud Sulter and Shadi Ghadirian to surrealist artist Claude Cahun and Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola. Large-scale textiles by makers from Eileen Gray to Cairo Tentmaker Hany 'Abd al-Kader to inmates at HMP Wandsworth, will be on display, as well as work by ground-breaking textile designers past and present, from botanical prints by the British-Trinidadian textile designer Althea McNish, to silk designs by 18th-century Spitalfields pioneer Anna Maria Garthwaite. Visitors will see garments by fashion designers Asha Sarabhai, Dame Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo, contemporary streetwear, and future-facing product and architectural design, from the Fairphone and Open Desk to bamboo architecture by Bali-based Ibuku, champions of sustainable, indigenous practice.
New acquisitions
Reflecting V&A East's approach to collecting, new acquisitions destined for V&A East tell stories about contemporary creativity and motivations for making – whether as self-expression, creative experimentation or ways in which art, design and performance responds to broader social, cultural and environmental issues.
Portrait of Melissa Thompson by Nigerian-American artist Kehinde Wiley
Part of Wiley's The Yellow Wallpaper series, this painting represents his ongoing practice, which subverts historic European portraiture traditions, to elevate sitters he encounters on the street. His work aims to challenge perceptions of blackness and raise important questions about race, identity and the politics of representation. This acquisition was made possible thanks to generous support from Art Fund and a legacy donation from Dr Philip da Costa.
Molly Goddard's hot pink Daria dress from her Autumn Winter 2019 collection – a design worn by Beyoncé in her 2020 visual album Black is King. The full-length dress is made of 61 metres of tulle net fabric and was the largest dress that Goddard had ever made at the time of creation. The dress is inspired by baby doll dresses and is exaggerated in scale, celebrating the power of femininity.
Ten photographic prints by British fashion photographer Jamie Hawkesworth from his 2011 – 2018 series, Preston Bus Station
The series, which builds on Hawkesworth's work as part of the Preston is my Paris collective, consists of portraits of passengers passing through the Grade II listed 1960s Brutalist station in Lancashire, which was threatened for demolition but later saved, with Hawkesworth's photographic series forming part of local campaigns. The V&A is the first UK institution to acquire Hawkesworth's work.
A glazed ceramic frieze made up of 48 individual tiles, Aunty, Mum and Me Talking About My Fabric Collection (2016) created by London-based artist MawuenaKattah
Kattah made this Frieze, her first using clay, during a Ceramics Residency at the V&A. Her work draws upon her extensive personal archive of family photographs taken in Ghana, alongside more recent studio photographs of her family taken in London.
V&A East Blog: Pattern and Progress
A visceral terracotta vessel, Itari by British-Nigerian artist Ranti Bam
Bam's organic and sculptural vessels push clay to its limits, with surfaces embellished with colours, patterns, and textures, as developed intuitively and inspired by the written word.

Birmingham House

Carnegie Gallery
The beaux arts-style Carnegie Library in Dundas was built in 1910. When the Hamilton Public Library stopped using the building, its future was uncertain. Taking advantage of the thriving arts community, Dundas citizens formed the Carnegie Craft Carnival Committee to raise funds for necessary building maintenance. The Carnegie Gallery was subsequently developed and has been thriving for 40 years.

Dundurn Castle is one of the finest examples of high regency-style architecture in the country. Constructed in the 1830s for Sir Allan Napier MacNab (railway magnate, lawyer and politician), the buildings deteriorated under subsequent owners, but were restored in the 1960s to their original splendour. Today, Dundurn Castle tells the story of the MacNabs and the people who served them.

Hamilton, known as Steeltown, has been a favorite film location since Season 1 for Murdoch Mysteries (2008) because of the historical buildings, parks, train stations, churches and museums in the city and in the surrounding Hamilton area, which help recreate the visual backdrops of turn-of-the-20th-century Toronto.
The original establishing shots used for the City Morgue and Station House No. 4 buildings in Cabbagetown is actually the 1859 Victorian pump house at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology on Woodward Avenue.

"When a production crew goes into a community to film an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, people are employed, apartments rented, caterers hired, sets built — hundreds of small businesses benefit.

The 7th Annual Telling Tales Festival:
An Awesome Celebration of Literacy
Canada’s FREE children’s literary festival happened on Sunday, September 20th at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario – and it was AWESOME! A crowd of over 7,000 children and their families were entertained by over 25 of Canada’s best children’s authors, illustrators, storytellers and musicians.
The Book of Awesome author Neil Pasricha launched his brand new children’s book Awesome is Everywhere to the world during the Telling Tales Festival. In fact, only those attending had a chance to buy an advance copy before it hits bookshelves next week!
David Bouchard shared stories about his Metis culture and treated the crowd to his flute playing. Poet Sheree Fitch mesmerized the crowds with her tongue twisting rhymes. Werner Zimmermann offered illustration lessons to fans young and old. Richard Scrimger shared writing tips and advice to fans. TVOKids’ Ranger Kara kicked off the Reading Rangers Book Club Tour with a special reading. It was an exciting day of sharing and experiencing stories.
The Telling Tales Festival is really a celebration of literacy. "Our goal is to foster a love of reading by exposing kids to authors and illustrators," explains Susan Jasper, Telling Tales Founder and Chair. "The presenters on our stages are literary stars – kids have a chance to ask them questions, listen to advice and even get their autographs."
This year’s theme was "Let your imagination soar". During the Telling Tales Festival books and stories jump off the page; you can travel into a story, meet characters and even step back in time. It’s all about creating fond memories around storytelling – whether it’s a story told in a book, through pictures, in music, or through movement.
The Telling Tales Festival is a day where kids can talk to authors, get drawing tips from illustrators, and sing and dance along with musicians. It’s also a fun family day to simply play and explore. There were so many fun family activities including costumed characters, a giant Book Swap and Shop, Bryan Prince Bookseller onsite book shop, children’s activity centre, contests and prizes. Plus, in the large meadow there were special birthday crafts to celebrate Hamilton Best Start’s 10th anniversary, an opportunity to try different musical instruments, and fun activities to get the kids moving with the YMCA.
To see a complete list of all the presenters and for more information, please visit the Telling Tales website at www.tellingtales.org.

Susie Smythe and Peter Lloyd have been hard at work this summer giving some tender loving care to the Potts Spinning Wheel Shop at Westfield. George Potts built the Potts spinning wheel manufactory on his property in 1866 which was located in Norfolk County. George Potts had acquired the patent rights to "Doolittle's Improved Spinning Machine." By May 1976 the building had been moved to Westfield and it was opened to the public. This coming week Westfield staff and volunteers will get their first glimpse at the results of the hard work and the Potts building will re-open as a business making apple crates. Photos by Melissa Fletcher.
Enjoy the warm weather at Westfield and see how various fibres are processed. The weaver will be working the mid-19th century barn loom. Master spinners will be spinning raw wool into yarn. Perhaps you would like to try your hand at carding sheep's wool or use the drop spindle. The Cambridge Spinners and Weavers will also be on hand with their natural dye baths. Visit the Tailor Shop or watch a demonstration showing how flax plant fibres are transformed into the raw material used to make linen fabric.
Special Tour of Dundurn Castle’s Kitchen Garden a Great Learning Opportunity for Westfield Volunteers and Staff
Several Westfield volunteers and staff members were treated to a wonderful tour of the amazing kitchen garden at Dundurn Castle today. Victoria, one of Dundurn’s knowledgeable and passionate historic gardeners, shared her wealth of botanical knowledge with everyone during this in-depth tour. Bed after bed of beautiful and fragrant fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs were admired, inspected, tasted and photographed by the enthusiastic group. This 1.5 acre plot was originally managed by Sir Allan MacNab’s long time gardener William Reid, and has been lovingly and authentically restored by Dundurn. Now in its 6th growing season, this garden is a unique way to learn about the growing methods and preferences of the mid-19th century. Many thanks to Victoria and Dundurn National Historic Site for providing this opportunity for Westfield.
The hard work put in by Scott and Liz is paying off at the Lockhart Farm. Westfield is open each Sunday from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. and the volunteers are ready to show off what they have been working on during the summer months. Come see the quilt on the frame at the Gillen House, check out the wood working at the Cabinetmaker shop or watch the spinners and weavers at the Marr Shop.

Number 5 Company, Crown Forces North America depicts British Army infantrymen from 1815. Its members are drawn from War of 1812 re-enacting units across southern Ontario who will be travelling to Belgium in June to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. They are here today to help prepare for their trip by performing authentic early 19th century military drill and musket firings.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned from exile, marshalled his French forces and again threatened Europe. The British and their Prussian allies together defeated the French on the rain soaked farm fields of Belgium near Brussels on the 18th of June.
There probably weren’t many Canadians, if any, in the British forces at Waterloo in 1815, but in the 200th anniversary re-enactment of the battle over 100 Canadian re-enactors will join the British Forces. In preparation for the expedition, members of Number 5 Company of the Crown Forces North America will be training at Westfield Heritage Village in Hamilton near Rockton. The members of Number 5 Company come from Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. They have been training together as a unit at Fort York and Fort George since January. All 16 of the red coated soldiers in the Company portray infantry and are members of various British, War of 1812, re-enactment regiments.
At Westfield, on Sunday the 24th, they will be practicing early 19th century battle drill, manoeuvres, and tactics. The uniforms they wear and the weapons they use, are exactly the same as the British equipment of the period. The re-enacted Battle of Waterloo will be fought on the same ground as the original battle and will be the largest Napoleonic era battle re-enactment ever held with over 5000 infantry, cavalry and artillery on the field.
Members of the public are welcome to visit Westfield Heritage Village on the 24th and witness the soldiers of Number 5 Company practice. There will be demonstrations of black powder musketry and members of the re-enactment group will be pleased to answer questions and discuss Napoleonic era battle tactics.
Westfield is a stunning collection of over 30 historical buildings which has made Westfield one of the most interesting historical destinations in Ontario. Carefully restored and staffed with costumed interpreters, the buildings capture the true charm and spirit of early Canadian culture. Westfield is located at 1049 Kirkwall Road (formerly Regional Road 552), off Highway 8 in Rockton. For more information, call 519-621-8851 or e-mail: westfield@speedway.ca Westfield is open Sundays and holidays from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. April to October. Special events run from March to December, hours may vary.
Conducted by Hamilton Philharmonic Cellist Marsha Moffitt, the Mercoledi Strings Orchestra performed at Westfield for a large and appreciative crowd on Victoria Day. This was the orchestra's third performance at Westfield.

Preserving our history, culture and built heritage in the Hamilton watershed
In preserving the beautiful natural lands of the Hamilton watershed, the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) has come to steward rich array of heritage buildings, archaeological sites and artefacts. Our community’s cultural heritage is worthy of preservation and sites such as the Hermitage, Crooks Hollow and the Dundas Valley aboriginal portage route form an important part of our community identity.
In 2015 and 2016, donations to the Foundation helped to restore the Hermitage Ruins in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. Years of weathering and stopgap measures had left the ruins at serious risk of collapse. Stabilizing the ruins was an expensive and complicated process, but donations helped to ensure that restoration efforts were as comprehensive and long-lasting as possible, ensuring that the ruins would be around to capture the imaginations of generations to come.
We are also extraordinarily proud to support the rich cultural heritage that gets brought to life every day at Westfield Heritage Village and Conservation Area. Westfield Heritage Village Conservation Area is a living history museum and conservation area. As one of Ontario’s most interesting historical destinations, it boasts a stunning collection of over 35 restored historical buildings, nestled within 204 hectares of conservation land featuring woodlands, meadows, and trails.
The Foundation is incredibly lucky to partner with the Friends of Westfield, a dedicated group of volunteers, to raise funds for improvements to Westfield. In recent years, the Friends of Westfield have fundraised to restore and improve a number of buildings in the Village.
Our current fundraising efforts are focused on creating new trails and improving existing trails, and the Locomotive #103 restoration efforts at Westfield Heritage Village.

Open-air museum in Ontario, Canada.
The Westfield Heritage Village is a heritage centre located just west of Rockton, Ontario, Canada. The village contains over 30 historic buildings on a 3.4-square-kilometre (840-acre) site. It is operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.[1]
In 1961, the Westfield Pioneer Village Association was established by two Brantford high school teachers, D. Glenn Kilmer and Golden Macdonnell, who purchased land near Rockton, Ontario, using their own money. Doreen Kilmer, a teacher and wife of Glenn Kilmer wasn't part of the Association. However, she participated equally in the development and management of Westfield. It acquired the original 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land. Their goal was to save heritage buildings that were in danger of being destroyed and also to create a hands-on educational facility to teach pioneer life. Glenn Kilmer's father had been a builder and owner of Kilmer Lumber Company in Aylmer Ontario (subsequently sold to Beaver Lumber Co). Golden Macdonnell was a science teacher who had a keen interest in the history of Ontario. Both men were able to reconstruct the donated buildings which arrived at Westfield. Golden built the forges from fieldstone on the site and Doreen managed the General Store. The original name of the facility was the Westfield Pioneer Village. The Village unofficially opened in June 1963 and officially opened in 1964. Westfield Village was open to the public on weekends in June, September and October and during the summer holidays, seven days a week from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 pm. It provided jobs for students as well as ladies in the area who operated school tours. There were 12 buildings open at this time staffed by students.
In May 1968 the former Wentworth County purchased the village for CAD $32,700. Ownership transferred to the Wentworth County on November 1, 1968.
The name was changed to Wentworth Heritage Village in 1981 because much of the collection was not of the pioneer era.
The village ceased operation on September 3, 1984 due to a financial crisis. Over the next few years various ideas were discuss ranging from moving the facility to creating a theme park.
Starting in 1985, several scenes from the Anne of Green Gables movie series were shot in the village. Including buildings such as the saw mill, church, train station and general store.
A five-year redevelopment began in 1990. The goal was to create a "special events theme centre" and the facility was renamed the Westfield Heritage Centre.
In 2010 the village received a substantial grant from the TD (Toronto Dominion) bank to plant several groves of fruit trees and construct two beehives. As of May 2010 one was in operation and awaiting the arrival of more bees to enlarge the colony. A second beehive is being planned. The aim of the apiary program is to illustrate the importance of the European honey bee (Apius Mellifera ) to the settlers and to raise awareness for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) .
The Museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.

Shaftesbury is the company behind the hit television series Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake Mysteries, both of which air on CBC in Canada and are seen in over 120 countries around the world.
Producing two television series that are set in Toronto 100 years ago could have proved a major challenge. Toronto is not blessed with abundant historical buildings and, in many cases, they are surrounded by modern architecture, which is difficult for our cameras to avoid.
Approximately half of each series is shot in studio in Toronto, where we build our interior sets. But these interior sets need to match historical building exteriors. And our characters must have believable period spaces that allow them to be “out and about.”
Years ago, I was fortunate to serve on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Heritage Foundation (now the Ontario Heritage Trust). I knew from my time on the Board, that many communities surrounding Toronto had done a good job preserving many heritage buildings and spaces. Both Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake have filmed in many communities across Ontario – including Cambridge, Guelph, Tottenham, Rockton, Dundas, Ancaster, Shanty Bay, Milton, Hamilton, Burlington, Port Hope, Cobourg, Peterborough and St Marys. In each location, the only reason that we travel the cast and crew out of Toronto is because we need the historical buildings in those communities to make the series believable.
Murdoch Mysteries has filmed extensively over the years at the Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton – a site that includes over 30 historical buildings. According to Rondalyn Brown, manager of the Westfield Heritage Village, Murdoch Mysteries has generated extra interest among domestic and international visitors. “For us, [Murdoch] has increased our public awareness,” says Brown, “people knowing that they film here and getting to know we are here.” In addition to Westfield, both series have filmed at Halton County Radial Railway with its period railway station, trains and streetcars.
Historian Mike Filey brought the SS Keewatin, in dock in Port McNicoll, to Shaftesbury’s attention. We were excited to discover that a ship still existed here in Ontario that dated back to the time of the Titanic. So, we set a story on a period vessel and actually filmed onboard the Keewatin and at its mooring. We used visual effects and models to show the boat sailing (in our story, we also show it sinking). Eric Conroy, the ship’s captain, noticed an increase in visitors after the episode with the Keewatin aired in 2013. He estimates that 50 per cent of his ship’s annual visitors are Murdoch fans and found out about the ship from the television series. And many of these fans are from around the world. Says Conroy, “The Keewatin was virtually unknown, but using her in your season opener has introduced her to millions of viewers.” He added, “I couldn’t afford to buy the kind of advertising that [Murdoch Mysteries] has provided us.”
The Scottish Rite of Hamilton, built in 1895, has also proven to be a popular location for both Murdoch and Frankie. We have used the exterior to masquerade for a variety of places, including a 1920s police station, and the interior as a “stand-in” for the Royal Ontario Museum.
Cambridge has been a regular filming location for Murdoch since Season 1. According to Greg Durocher, President and CEO of its Commerce Department, the city has seen a number of visitors from the United States who have specifically requested information on Murdoch’s filming locations.
Murdoch Mysteries has a “standing” set as part of its studio in Scarborough, where we have built exterior streets and lanes. Frankie Drake does not have a dedicated exterior set, but we have been fortunate to use the wonderful collection of period buildings at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton, built in 1896, to create many different settings.
One of the techniques we use in recreating period spaces is to take a still of a period building and augment it with the help of computer generated images – adding buildings, vehicles, people and even streetcars.
In 2016, Shaftesbury worked with the Canadian Media Producers Association on the preparation of a Case Study on the Economic Impacts of Murdoch Mysteries. The study used Season 8 as the template to estimate the economic benefits that occurred in Ontario during the filming of the 18 episodes. Among other things, the study noted:
$24.5 million direct production expenditure in Ontario
$38.7 million total GDP
560 full-time employment
The study indicated the positive impact of Murdoch Mysteries on “film-induced tourism,” which occurs when a television program encourages viewers to visit the country or region where the show was filmed, becoming an important component of tourism marketing. In 2014, at a fan event that was held at the Murdoch studio in Scarborough, over 2,500 fans came from England, France, Spain, China and the United States to meet the cast and crew while touring the studio.
Shaftesbury set out to make Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake Mysteries because, as a company, “we love history.” Our hope was that through entertainment, we could inspire people to embrace our heritage and explore some of the amazing historical sites that Ontario has to offer, and in doing so, become advocates for the continued preservation of Ontario’s historical buildings and spaces.
Given the enormous ratings of both shows (Murdoch remains Canada’s #1 drama series), I think we just might have succeeded in doing that. [Photos courtesy of Christina Jennings]

I really enjoy the City of Hamilton and am not afraid speak my mind about it. Exploring Hamilton is a great way to take a break from the everyday. Read on.

https://derekwilsonlaw.ca/exploring-beautiful-hamilton-world-around/
|
All work and no play makes a lawyer… well, I don’t want to say, but it is true that, once in a while, we all need to take a break from the everyday. Doubly so if you’re in the midst of a personal injury suit.
I make no secret of the fact that I really enjoy the city of Hamilton and the areas that surround it. Over the years, I’ve discovered a couple of great day trips that the whole family can appreciate, and I thought I would share them with you.
Stratford ~ Shakespeare
Travelling toward the town of Stratford Ontario, you will likely drive through Shakespeare.
The tiny village of 159 souls is just the gateway to the 19th century town of Stratford, itself bisected by a river that is the home to swans and a lot of water fowl.
My kids love feeding the ducks and you can even buy duck food at the boat rental outlet, right by the river, off the downtown main street.
Even if you don’t plan to see a show at the famed Stratford Festival, the ‘little village’ quality of the streets of Downtown Stratford will leave you feeling calm and refreshed.
Lovely cafes and many excellent restaurants are available, whether you’re dining out with the whole family, or just as a couple.
Dundurn Castle ~ Bell Homestead ~ Westfield Heritage Village
If you’re a bit of a history buff like me, or a fan of Downton Abbey like my wife, there is a well-known place to get a glimpse of that life, very close by.
Take a visit to Dundurn Castle.
The 40 room Victorian era villa gives you a taste of the lives lived upstairs, as well as downstairs. It’s former resident, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, was actually the great, great, great grandfather of the current Duchess of Cornwall (otherwise known as Camilla), creating an impressive family connection.
Another interesting site is the Bell Homestead in Brantford where you can learn about one of the single greatest inventions of mankind: the telephone. Younger kids won’t even know what some of the artifacts and replicas are!
The homestead is filled with pieces from the period, giving you a view of the life a great inventor who changed the world in 1874, when inspiration struck at this location for a ‘speaking telegraph’ (source).
My kids are fans of the pioneer life so we always make time to head over to Westfield Heritage Village.
It’s a 40-building reconstructed village that brings pioneering history to life. The ‘in character’ villagers provide fun interaction and live demonstrations of what life was like in the 19th century. My kids learn about history without even knowing it, and as an adult, I enjoy it much more now than I did as a kid!
St. Jacobs ~ Elmira
Speaking of living history, the Mennonites in Southern Ontario, and particularly in the areas around St. Jacobs and Elmira, are a relevant, vital example of simpler era.
The residents who maintain the Amish ways, including driving with a horse and buggy and keeping to the Old Order style of dress, are frequent visitors to town.
Interestingly, their homes are as they would have been a hundred years ago: no electricity and nothing ostentatious in their manner of decoration and dress. Tell your kids: no iPads. They’ll never believe you.
Personally I like the idea of showing my sons in a respectful way that people can and do live differently, even close to home. It expands their horizons and I hope it will pique their interest in travel when they get older.
You can learn more about Mennonite history and lifestyles by visiting the Mennonite Story in St. Jacobs, an interpretive centre with exhibits and artifacts that is the beginning of a self-guided tour of the area.
Jordan Station
When my practice gets really busy, I can’t think of a better way to get away from it all than to get out into nature. The area around Jordan Station is perfect.
At the heart of vineland, you can tour and taste at a winery, shop for antiques, or hike a local conservation area.
Located at the edge of the Twenty Mile creek, near Lake Ontario, Jordan Station has a little something for everyone in the family.
My wife and I will often go for a drive, visit a winery if we’re alone or go for a hike if we have the boys, then go for lunch or dinner at the Jordan House Tavern on the way home – it’s kid-friendly. We have also gone to weddings at Inn On The Twenty, located just down the road, although for us, it’s a bit fancy when we have our little guys in tow.
We’re all busy these days but getting out of town can do much to clear your head and boost morale. And if you’re in the midst of a suit, you need to step back now and again for your own piece of mind.
Are there places that are close to Hamilton that you like to visit when you need to get away? Feel free to share in the comments below!

The 7th Annual Telling Tales Festival:
An Awesome Celebration of Literacy
Canada’s FREE children’s literary festival happened on Sunday, September 20th at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario – and it was AWESOME! A crowd of over 7,000 children and their families were entertained by over 25 of Canada’s best children’s authors, illustrators, storytellers and musicians.
The Book of Awesome author Neil Pasricha launched his brand new children’s book Awesome is Everywhere to the world during the Telling Tales Festival. In fact, only those attending had a chance to buy an advance copy before it hits bookshelves next week!
David Bouchard shared stories about his Metis culture and treated the crowd to his flute playing. Poet Sheree Fitch mesmerized the crowds with her tongue twisting rhymes. Werner Zimmermann offered illustration lessons to fans young and old. Richard Scrimger shared writing tips and advice to fans. TVOKids’ Ranger Kara kicked off the Reading Rangers Book Club Tour with a special reading. It was an exciting day of sharing and experiencing stories.
The Telling Tales Festival is really a celebration of literacy. "Our goal is to foster a love of reading by exposing kids to authors and illustrators," explains Susan Jasper, Telling Tales Founder and Chair. "The presenters on our stages are literary stars – kids have a chance to ask them questions, listen to advice and even get their autographs."
This year’s theme was "Let your imagination soar". During the Telling Tales Festival books and stories jump off the page; you can travel into a story, meet characters and even step back in time. It’s all about creating fond memories around storytelling – whether it’s a story told in a book, through pictures, in music, or through movement.
The Telling Tales Festival is a day where kids can talk to authors, get drawing tips from illustrators, and sing and dance along with musicians. It’s also a fun family day to simply play and explore. There were so many fun family activities including costumed characters, a giant Book Swap and Shop, Bryan Prince Bookseller onsite book shop, children’s activity centre, contests and prizes. Plus, in the large meadow there were special birthday crafts to celebrate Hamilton Best Start’s 10th anniversary, an opportunity to try different musical instruments, and fun activities to get the kids moving with the YMCA.

Susie Smythe and Peter Lloyd have been hard at work this summer giving some tender loving care to the Potts Spinning Wheel Shop at Westfield. George Potts built the Potts spinning wheel manufactory on his property in 1866 which was located in Norfolk County. George Potts had acquired the patent rights to "Doolittle's Improved Spinning Machine." By May 1976 the building had been moved to Westfield and it was opened to the public. This coming week Westfield staff and volunteers will get their first glimpse at the results of the hard work and the Potts building will re-open as a business making apple crates. Photos by Melissa Fletcher.
Enjoy the warm weather at Westfield and see how various fibres are processed. The weaver will be working the mid-19th century barn loom. Master spinners will be spinning raw wool into yarn. Perhaps you would like to try your hand at carding sheep's wool or use the drop spindle. The Cambridge Spinners and Weavers will also be on hand with their natural dye baths. Visit the Tailor Shop or watch a demonstration showing how flax plant fibres are transformed into the raw material used to make linen fabric.
Special Tour of Dundurn Castle’s Kitchen Garden a Great Learning Opportunity for Westfield Volunteers and Staff
Several Westfield volunteers and staff members were treated to a wonderful tour of the amazing kitchen garden at Dundurn Castle today. Victoria, one of Dundurn’s knowledgeable and passionate historic gardeners, shared her wealth of botanical knowledge with everyone during this in-depth tour. Bed after bed of beautiful and fragrant fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs were admired, inspected, tasted and photographed by the enthusiastic group. This 1.5 acre plot was originally managed by Sir Allan MacNab’s long time gardener William Reid, and has been lovingly and authentically restored by Dundurn. Now in its 6th growing season, this garden is a unique way to learn about the growing methods and preferences of the mid-19th century. Many thanks to Victoria and Dundurn National Historic Site for providing this opportunity for Westfield.
The hard work put in by Scott and Liz is paying off at the Lockhart Farm. Westfield is open each Sunday from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. and the volunteers are ready to show off what they have been working on during the summer months. Come see the quilt on the frame at the Gillen House, check out the wood working at the Cabinetmaker shop or watch the spinners and weavers at the Marr Shop.

See you there!
Having some fun at Westfield. Join us on Sunday, June 14 from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. Until then check out this new video...
Number 5 Company, Crown Forces North America depicts British Army infantrymen from 1815. Its members are drawn from War of 1812 re-enacting units across southern Ontario who will be travelling to Belgium in June to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. They are here today to help prepare for their trip by performing authentic early 19th century military drill and musket firings.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned from exile, marshalled his French forces and again threatened Europe. The British and their Prussian allies together defeated the French on the rain soaked farm fields of Belgium near Brussels on the 18th of June.
There probably weren’t many Canadians, if any, in the British forces at Waterloo in 1815, but in the 200th anniversary re-enactment of the battle over 100 Canadian re-enactors will join the British Forces. In preparation for the expedition, members of Number 5 Company of the Crown Forces North America will be training at Westfield Heritage Village in Hamilton near Rockton. The members of Number 5 Company come from Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. They have been training together as a unit at Fort York and Fort George since January. All 16 of the red coated soldiers in the Company portray infantry and are members of various British, War of 1812, re-enactment regiments.
At Westfield, on Sunday the 24th, they will be practicing early 19th century battle drill, manoeuvres, and tactics. The uniforms they wear and the weapons they use, are exactly the same as the British equipment of the period. The re-enacted Battle of Waterloo will be fought on the same ground as the original battle and will be the largest Napoleonic era battle re-enactment ever held with over 5000 infantry, cavalry and artillery on the field.
Members of the public are welcome to visit Westfield Heritage Village on the 24th and witness the soldiers of Number 5 Company practice. There will be demonstrations of black powder musketry and members of the re-enactment group will be pleased to answer questions and discuss Napoleonic era battle tactics.
Westfield is a stunning collection of over 30 historical buildings which has made Westfield one of the most interesting historical destinations in Ontario. Carefully restored and staffed with costumed interpreters, the buildings capture the true charm and spirit of early Canadian culture. Westfield is located at 1049 Kirkwall Road (formerly Regional Road 552), off Highway 8 in Rockton. For more information, call 519-621-8851 or e-mail: westfield@speedway.ca Westfield is open Sundays and holidays from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. April to October. Special events run from March to December, hours may vary.
Conducted by Hamilton Philharmonic Cellist Marsha Moffitt, the Mercoledi Strings Orchestra performed at Westfield for a large and appreciative crowd on Victoria Day. This was the orchestra's third performance at Westfield.
