​Local historians to help open Remembrance Day exhibit at Walker House Museum

A special speaker presentation will mark the opening of “Walker House Remembers: Collaborative Community Exhibit,” Saturday, Nov. 1, from 1-3:30 p.m., at the Walker House Museum in Kincardine.

This exhibit is sponsored by Veterans Affairs Canada and organized in partnership with residents of Bruce, Huron, and Grey counties. It will feature items from the Walker House Museum’s collection, as well as artifacts and personal stories generously loaned by community members.

The purpose of the exhibit is to honour and preserve the stories of those who served, sacrificed, and triumphed during the First and Second World Wars.

Everyone is welcome to gather at the museum for the special opening event, featuring engaging presentations by two local historians:
 

• David Yates, “Never Shall Their Glory Fade: The Cenotaphs of Huron”
• Kevin Larson, “HMCS Kincardine and Canada’s Corvette Navy”

Admission is by donation, and light refreshments will be provided. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot in advance by calling 519-396-1850 or by E-mail: thewalkerhousemuseum@gmail.com.
