The Maxwell Settlement

Suggested Grade Level: Grade 7-8

Curriculum Connections: Canada Conflict & Challenges, Creating Canada

One of the most interesting stories of European settlement in Lambton County comes from a man by the name of Henry Jones. Henry traversed land and sea with settlers from Scotland to establish Maxwell in the late 1820's. Although the settlement was short lived, the optimistic spirit of community remained. Critically explore primary and secondary documents to uncover the family stories of early Lambton settlers, understand daily life and challenges in Canada during the 1830s, and fuse historical knowledge with modern communication tools to bring the past to the present.
