Oil Museum of Canada Hosts Virtual Talk About Early Settlement in Enniskillen

Oil Springs, ON – The Oil Museum of Canada, in partnership with Lambton County Archives, will host its first Virtual Talk on Thursday, November 18 at 7:00 p.m. exploring early settlement in Enniskillen Township.

Participants will learn about early colonial settlement in Enniskillen Township with Lambton County Archives Archivist/Supervisor Nicole Aszalos, who will share a survey of Enniskillen Township from the early 1830's. Documents from the Lambton County Archives collection and local township papers will be examined to uncover personal accounts of life in Enniskillen Township prior to the oil boom.

“We’re looking forward to our first virtual talk, sharing more about the oil heritage of our region in an online platform. We hope the community takes this opportunity to further understand and connect with our local history,” said Erin Dee-Richard, Curator/Supervisor with the Oil Museum of Canada. “There are many great resources available to the public through the Lambton County museums and Archives and we hope this virtual talk sheds more light on these assets.”

Virtual talks are free and preregistration is required. You can register for this virtual event online.

While the Oil Museum remains closed for a significant renovation, virtual program offerings are available to the public. Follow the Museum on Facebook or subscribe to E-news to stay up to date on upcoming online programs and events.
