Our Mandate

Township of Puslinch Crest

The Puslinch Historical Society was formed in 1984 to bring together those people interested in the heritage of Puslinch Township. We aim to promote interest in and the study of the heritage of Puslinch Township. To this end, the Society gathers and publishes historical information and undertakes a variety of publicity and public education programs. The Society also encourages the preservation of the historical, archaeological and architectural heritage of Puslinch Township.

About the Society

Township of Puslinch Crest

The Society is non-profit and operated by volunteers. If you would like to get involved, please Contact Us. The Society regularly meets several times each year, with speakers addressing the membership on topics of local historical interest on occasion. Guests are always welcome at our events.


Research

The Puslinch Historical Society provides assistance researching a variety of topics. We have information on local families, villages & settlements, local veterans, lot histories, cemeteries, township papers and so much more.


Publications

The Society has a great number of publications available at the archives or by mail. These books are a wealth of information but since most are now out of print there are limited quantities available. These are books to be treasured.


The Archives

PHS operates an archive room at the Puslinch Library in Aberfoyle. This room is open to the public every Saturday from Noon to 3:00 p.m. or by appointment. We encourage everyone to come and view the archives.

Announcements
