Driveshed

Formerly from St. David’s Anglican Church




    The Driveshed was moved to the property of the Beaudette family of Pleasant Valley Road, Osnabruck  Township, at the time of the Hydro relocation.  It had blown  down in a windstorm(2000), and the beams and boards were donated to  The Lost Villages Historical Society by Howard and Ron  Beaudette.  With considerable damage done to the mortise and  tenon joints, it was decided to rebuild the structure on a smaller  scale of about 1/3 its original length.  It was moved to the  Lost Villages Museum site in  2001 and formally presented to  The Lost Villages Historical Society on July 1, 2002.

1924 Star Hearse in Driveshed


     On July 1, 2002, Mr. Barry Brownlee, of Brownlee   Funeral Homes, Finch and Ingleside, presented his Grandfather’s 1924 Star Hearse to The Lost Villages Historical Society.   This  vehicle was most versatile in its day, for its front wheels could be interchanged with skis, allowing for summer and winter use.
