Annual Heritage Fair

2018 Heritage Fair

Heritage Cornwall will host its annual Heritage Fair in Center Court on the lower level of Cornwall Square on Saturday February 23 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Once again, the Cornwall Community Museum / SD&G Historical Society is pleased to be a participant.  The fair affords a great opportunity to rub shoulders with a broad-spectrum of people who represent diverse aspects of our local heritage and to find out what’s new in the way of coming events, books and other resources.

One of the Historical Society’s community partnerships, the historic Cornwall General Hospital Down Memory Lane Project, is in the midst of Phase 2 of 2, with a June targeted completion date for the commemorative permanent exhibit to the former hospital and its school of nursing. Committee members will be on site with updates.​
Pictured here are project team members Sharon Porter and Don Smith, visiting retired CGH School of Nursing administrative assistant Hilda Seguin.  Hilda is one of several members of the community who were recently video interviewed in order to bring congratulations at the upcoming CGH nursing alumni reunion of the final graduating class in honour of their 50th anniversary.  Some of the memories shared by the interviewees will also appear in an upcoming special feature on YourTV Cornwall.
