Upcoming Event: George F. Macdonald - A Champion of History
May 7, 2008 to Dec 20, 2008 - The exhibition, George F. Macdonald: A Champion of History, examines the life of the main force behind its inception, George F. Macdonald. The son of Scottish immigrants and an owner of the downtown department store Bartlet, Macdonald & Gow, George had an immense love for history which he passionately promoted to the benefit of the entire community of Windsor. He advocated for the preservation of Francois Baby House (a National Historic Site), pushed for the creation of a museum and even donated his vast personal collection of thousands of artifacts, maps and old documents to be the foundation of the museum’s collection.
Without this quirky old Scotsman with a keen sense of history, we would not have the appreciation for Windsor’s rich historical legacy that we have today. The exhibit continues through December 20th. For more information, visit the website or send an email.
