The town of Lucan is brimming with history. Many stories from the past are still being shared today with the help of dedicated volunteers that are remembering the town's history to establish its future.🍀

Yesterday @ONheritage replaced our plaque dedicated to the Wilberforce Settlement, a black settlement that was located where Lucan is today. In 1966 Harold Butler was there at the installation, and in 2022, we were honoured to welcome his brother, daughter, nieces, and nephew.
We're hiring!
We are looking to fill two Canada Summer Jobs positions this July, get more info at:

Due to popular demand, and the permission of Mr. Ray Fazakas, we have stocked postcards replicating the Donnelly cartes-de-visite in his collection.
Soon CDVs of generals, Abraham Lincoln, and other famous images became sought after souvenirs. These two CDVs are collages printed by J.A. Mann & Son Studios at 194 Dundas St, London ON.

Here's something cool: in 1952-52, the Habs played a friendly game against a team in the town of Lucan, ON. Coach Dick Irvin was friends with a local b/c pigeon racing, and he agreed to the game as a favor.
The town museum has an exhibit, opening May 7. DonnellyMuseum.com
