Canada 150 - Long Point Settlement






During our country's 150th anniversary celebration of confederation I will write posts titled Canada 150 with a link to a publication or website I find that may help you tell the story of your Canadian ancestors.
Click on the Canada 150 label on the right or at the bottom to see all the posts.

Today I have for you...




Long Point Settlement, Norfolk Ontario






Settlers from Europe began arriving in this hamlet on the northern shores of Lake Erie around 1790. Loyalists began settling here after the American Revolution. 

There are genealogies and portraits of first settlers.




The Woodhouse Wesleyan Methodist Church (now a United Church) was built about 1800.
