The Glengarry Historical Society was founded in 1959, and incorporated in 1962, with the following goals:
- To stimulate interest in local history among residents of the county by holding meetings with lectures, displays, papers and discussions.
- To discover and collect materials which will help to preserve and illustrate the history of the county.
- To provide for the preservation and display of such materials and for its accessibility, as far as may be feasible, to all who may wish to examine or study it.
- To promote the preservation and restoration of historical areas, buildings, monuments and markers in Glengarry county.
Today, the Glengarry Historical Society continues with these original goals. More information on the activities of the Society are contained in this website.
