Trip of 1936 Exhibit

The year 1936 was a time of change as 18-year-old Laura Louise Livingston and her mother embarked on a trip that would change their lives forever. Looking back 90 years later, this exhibit explores the areas they toured and unexpected crossroads they encountered. From Norway to Germany, to Egypt through the Holy Land each stop broadened their views.

Castle Kilbride: The House That Flax Built

Castle Kilbride Book

Castle Kilbride: The House That Flax Built is the definitive book about Wilmot Township's beloved National Historic Site, written and compiled by the Castle Kilbride Advisory Committee.

For the first time in full colour, this gorgeously illustrated book recounts the history of the house back to its very beginnings in 1877 and illustrates that history with stunning photographs dating from over a century ago to today.

For anyone who is curious about the eye-catching mansion in the middle of a quiet village, and for visitors who simply can't see everything in just one tour, this book will be a treasured keepsake.

Cost: $26 including tax, available in the Castle's Gift Shop
