All that is left to tell the traveller that it is Walkerburn are small signs - made by Stewart Ball and placed at what was one time a flourishing community. This small village was named after Walkerburn in Scotland by an early settler, Robert Morrison, in 1859. A little later, Alex Monteith settled here and put a dam across the Blyth creek to have water power to operate a sawmill. A few years later, his brother arrived. from Scotland and built a woollen mill across the creek from the sawmill. A post office was built across from the mills and operated until 1915 when rural delivery of mail came to the Auburn District. Business was thriving at both mills til the winter of 1911 when heavy snow sto . s hit the community and spring ca iF suddenly, .causing the snow to melt rapit y and the creek flooded and washed out the dam. This was -lie end of business in the Walkerburn area:' The Walkerburn Club was formed at the home of Mrs, Colin Fingland and the first meeting was held on July 9,1919 at the home of Mrs. Foster Wright: The officers elected were: president - Mrs. Walter Cunningham; vice-president - .Miss Mary Patterson; secretary - Dora Scott and* treasurer - Mrs. Bert Hunking. Convener of the social corn- mittee was Mrs. Colin Fingland. Some of the, members were: - Bessie Cunningham, Mrs. B. Hunking, Mrs. Rundle Hunking, Mrs. Walter Cunningham, Mrs. James Webster, Mrs. Jim Robertson, Mrs. William Patter- son, Mary Patterson, Mrs. Foster Wright, Mrs. Jackson, Margaret Jackson, Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Raithby, Mrs: Robertson, Mrs. Colin Fingland, Mrs. Clarence Cox, Mrs. John Govier, Mrs. Archie Robinson, Luella Robinson and Dora Scott. When the Club organized, it was to help -0 the Red Cross in Auburn as they needed supplies and money. Their motto was "Safety First". When the need for help was over, they re -made clothes and sent them to the Neighbourhood Workers Association in Toronto. At this time, many quilts were also made and social events held to keep the AUBURN Eleanor Esr adnock, SEB -7596 ladies interested. In 1963, the Club members , adopted a Korean orphan. They have been Supporting orphans ever since and have always been ready to help someone in a community in need of help.

Here you can "visit" the whole county within one building and you will be amazed by the things gathered there. Back in the early fifties, a fine old gentleman, Mr. J.H. Neill, had gathered so many wonderful things pertaining to Huron County's history and background that he really needed that big old school which had been terminated because it was unsafe, outdated and a'few other unkind words. It is well over 350 years since the first white man came to Huron County—and "I think he was boiled and eaten by the Indians. Were it not for the happy hunting by Mr. Neill of the old artifacts, and the support of the Women's Institutes, we would not believe the, transition from hunting grounds to the happy agriculture and urban community. You can follow the development of this story to the pre e)t with particular interest on the era wherYimmigrants poured in to settle the area. Perfectly preserved articles and scale models tell the story of milling from its earliest crude pounding of the grain to our modern mills. Domestic appliances and tools interested Mr. Neill as he searched the countryside. An 1845 washing machine, crude irons that worked without electricity, the how -to -make lye soap and maple sugar and so many other how-to's are there for your amazement. You can feel for the early arts and trades with the crude tools they had to use. The history of lumber from the 12th century to today, harness making, shoemaking for both man and beast, are all there for you to see along with something about the Indians who vacated the countryside. Mr. Neill's wonderful collection of cars and other ways of transportation—including a 90 ton locomotive which was "pushed by hand" by Goderich men from the CPR station down the streets, with the rails being picked up and laid down in front until it reached the museum—are also on display at the museum. Mr. Neill—I'm sure he watches over the place though he has been gone many, many years—would be • proud of the continued growth of his museum and as amazed as we are at his collections and the steady stream of people visiting. < Mr. and Mrs. Brian McClinchey Brian Garth McClinchey, son of Garth and Ruth McClinchey of R.R. 1 'Auburn, and Shannon Marla Vogl, daughter of Mary and Barbara Liley of London, were married in Westfield Church on July 19 by Pastor Wesley Ball of Toronto.

OILCARD �l�sl Il�ffLl� I remember of couple - of my grandkids spending a lot of time in the museum and shouting the minute they came home, "Grandma, they have your iron over there." "My" iron is a fantastic charcoal burner, with smoke stack and all, which I bought with a large wooden butter bowl full of odds and ends—and the iron was the oddest. Now, this weekend is one you must see and enjoy because many people have put a lot -of time and effort into a special program for you. Enjoy it. Love, Martha. P.S. We have a very fine cook book that has great recipes besides some fine sketches by Mike Scott (very frame worthy) so get your Port of Goderich Cook Book for friends and one for yourself.
