News & Events

Recruitment is currently under way for any able bodied man or woman who would like to help recreate this Historic Regiment that helped protect Upper Canada in 1812.

You will learn how to fire and operate a black powder flintlock musket, dress in the 19th century tunic and participate in parades, special events and battle re-enactments… keeping history alive!

Training is free and no experience is needed.

If you are interested and wish to learn more or if you have some questions please contact Jim Mullin at 613-678-6154 or by email 1812@glengarrypioneermuseum.ca

Many people have asked us what the original St. Raphaels church looked like. We have a fine painting by Glengarry artist Stuart McCormick to show the exterior and a black and white photo of the interior but lack one in colour. We would be delighted to hear from anyone who has such a photo and would allow us to make a copy.

Anyone who has had the opportunity to visit the Ruins will have admired the list of donors that are mounted on the north wall. Many of the names are those of the early families of the area or were added as a memorial tribute to a friend or relative who has died. If you are interested in having a name added to a plaque, at a cost of $1000, please be in touch by email any member of the executive or Diana Sturkenboom at 613-347-2572.
