HERITAGE PROJECT IN BRUCE
1 his summer the Bruce County
Historical Society and the Bruce County
Museum joined with the Ontario Heritage
Foundation (OHF) to launch the Bruce
County Heritage project, "Exploring our
Past --Aspects of Bruce County's
Heritage."
The project is intended to provide local
groups with the opportunity of working
together to preserve and promote local
heritage. It also underlines the important
role the past has in the daily life of a
community and the importance of pro-
tecting Ontario's heritage.
Bruce County was selected this year
because three Ontario Heritage
Foundation provincial historical plaques
are being erected in the county during the
summer. These include two centennial
commemorations (Chesley and Wiarton)
and a plaque commemorating the
prominent furniture manufacturer. Daniel
Knechtel.
The Bruce County Heritage project
focuses on two themes which tie into the
provincial historical plaques being erected.
By the early 1900's Ontario's furniture
industry was concentrated in Bruce and
Waterloo counties. Cabinet shops existed
in most communities. The second theme is
the area has a strong German heritage.
A travelling display on the furniture
industry will visit Southampton,
Kincardine, Wiarton, Walkerton and Han-
over through July and August. During
August the Bruce County Museum in
Southampton will stage an exhibit of
German decorative arts.
A lecture series on folk art and furniture
has been arranged for the month of
September, to be held at the Bruce County
Museum.
