The St. Joseph Museum & Archives is maintained and operated by volunteer members of the St. Joseph and Area Historical Society, St. Joseph, Ontario. We are society members of the Ontario Historical Society.

The St. Joseph Historical Society’s mandate is to:

  • preserve and celebrate the unique history of the area
  • promote this history
  • educate the public on this history.

What a beautiful day to come together and remember!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at the park for our Remembrance Day service. We were pleased to see such a wonderful turnout and a large crowd of people gathering to honour and remember the men and women who served and sacrificed for our freedom.

A very special thank you to the Dominion of Canada Reenactment Group for sharing their wonderful display of historical items and information. Your presence helped bring history to life and gave everyone an opportunity to learn more about the sacrifices made by those who served.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and helped make this a meaningful day of remembrance.

Lest We Forget.
