Dundas Valley Historical Society - And Now the Field of Battle Was My Home  - The Impact of the Battle of Stoney Creek on the Gage Family

Visit the Dundas Museum and Archives for the next Dundas Valley Historical Society meeting, And Now the Field of Battle Was My Home – The Impact of the Battle of Stoney Creek on the Gage Family. This event will feature a presentation by Daryl MacTavish focusing on the events leading up to the June 6, 1813 battle and some of the key figures from both the British and American sides, as well as the Gage family, their war loss claims, and how one of the granddaughters succeeded in having a monument built 100 years after the battle.

By way of introduction, Daryl says, “I have worked for the City of Hamilton’s Historic House Museums for the past 39 years. I enjoy helping bring history alive to visitors, trying to make the lifestyle and choices people made back then understandable to people today, in a hopefully informative and entertaining way. I live in a brick home built in 1887, in the historic Corktown neighbourhood of Hamilton, that is filled with what some might describe as ‘too many books,’ and I also collect antique photographs.”

This event is open to the public.  The meeting starts at 7PM, but feel free to arrive a bit earlier to enjoy some refreshments and conversation.  Admission is $5 or FREE for members of the Dundas Valley Historical Society.
