Today
we are remembering the reason that our lovely grounds and museum exist and
remain, the Tyrconnell Heritage Society.
The society is local and independent and was founded in 1993 in order to
create a future for the Backus-Page property as a historic landmark of the area. Under the umbrella of the Ontario Historical
Society since 1994, volunteer members have, and continue to, work hard to
uphold the society’s mandate. The 50
year lease agreement that we currently hold with the Ministry of Financial
Resources since 1998, along with local financing and Ontario Trillium
Foundation funding has allowed the house to be restored as the museum it is
today. Take care!
