Join us for an evening of local history as we explore the lives of Wrenford's early settlers. This free talk, hosted by the Wrenford Public Library Board, will cover how the first families arrived in the 1830s and built the grist mill that started our city. You will hear about their daily routines, the challenges they faced along the Tamsin River, and how their choices shaped the streets and neighbourhoods we live in today. No registration is required. Just show up at the Main Branch. The library is fully wheelchair accessible, and there is free parking on Mercer Street. The Wrenford Public Library operates independently from the City, so this event is run by the Library Board. Bring a notebook if you want to take notes. We will have a short question-and-answer period at the end, so feel free to bring your own local history questions or family stories. We hope you can come and share in the story of how our city was built by the river.
