On Thursday March 14 (1:30-3:30) I will deliver a presentation as part of the ENCORE seniors education program. The session is called “Sacred Ground: Loyalist Cemeteries of Eastern Ontario” (surprise, surprise!) and it will take place at the ENCORE Education Centre at 800 Twelfth Street East in Cornwall.
In this heavily-illustrated session I will describe the history of the Loyalists of Cornwall and area. I will couple this with detailed stories about some of their final resting places, including that of Captain John McKenzie, whose original tombstone and iron fencing is pictured below (Salem United Church cemetery in Summerstown, ON).
