1. We maintain and preserve the Young Family Memorial Monument located in Haldimand County and legally described as Seneca River range Pt. lot 14 Part 1 on 18R-5357. This monument is designated as being of cultural significance under s.29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In 2014, volunteers erected new flags, and enhanced and maintained the property by adding landscaping. 2. The adjoining burial grounds of early area settlers (Young Tract Burying Ground) is marked with decorative fencing and a loyalist Burial Ground sign. This burial ground is perpetually maintained as a closed cemetery by Haldimand County. 3. We advanced the public's knowledge of life along the Grand River in the 1700's and 1800's. At an event in July 2016, historical information about the early settlers along the Grand River was exhibited, and genealogy and historical material was exchanged and updated. Old photos were scanned in order to share and identify individuals in a historical context. This project will also assist the Haldimand County Museum and Archives collect information about photos in their collection.
