2007 CANADA DAY PICTURES
Lots of excellent pictures of the July 1st Canada Day celebration at the museum have been posted at a couple of locations other than here but just click on the links and check out the slide show at;
SLIDE DOT COM
I like this format and it saves me tons of work, (tks). Just click on the little thumbnail photos and a larger one will pop up with its own caption. For those familiar with face book dot com, the link below will take you to Rosemary’s own page where the same photos are posted but they’re slightly larger and easier to click on.

Well after seeing all these pics and especially after finding out there was strawberry shortcake going around , I do feel like I missed out on a great event.

Long Sault, Ontario-
The Lost Villages Historical Society is pleased to announce that we have received from Mr. Richard G Gibbons, of Richmond, Virginia, a wonderful and extensive collection of 138 official photographs of the American construction sites taken by the New York State Power Authority of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Project. Mr. Gibbons is a retired landscape architect who was employed as a Park Planner and Environmental Program Planner with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for nearly 38 years. Mr. Gibbons grew up in the Watertown, New York area and as a special interest had collected a number of photos related to the American construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Project. While surfing the net he discovered our web site and recently, while going through boxes in his attic, Mr. Gibbons found his old collection and thought we would logically be the group most interested in his collection. He contacted us and then sent his wonderful collection.
The Richard G. Gibbons Collection will be scanned and processed by the Society, and will hopefully be available for viewing on hard copy when our museum opens in June for the season. It will also be digitized for viewing on our website. The society is very grateful to Mr. Gibbons as his photos will certainly enhance our collection. We had very few pictures from the American perspective of the Seaway Project. One of the main goals of The Lost Villages Historical Society is to inform the public and specifically to educate children about the loss of our communities which formerly existed along the St. Lawrence River prior to mid 1958. With the addition of the Richard G. Gibbons Collection, we can certainly provide a more accurate portrayal of what happened on both sides of the St. Lawrence River.

SEPT 2007. The Lost Villages website is currently being UPDATED! There is a huge amount of information and photos, lots of photos, of the villages that needs to be accessible to everyone interested in the history under Lake St. Lawrence and we hope to get this website back in order.
Any information current or of historic value is very welcome.
There’s lots of news about the Society itself that we hope to post here to keep people informed about monthly meeting, events, etc. and reams of information about the villages and interesting photos that seem to have lost their way. It is hoped that a new page will be developed that will display these wayward photographs and with luck someone will be able to identify the locations, people or structures. (I’m bad with faces)
Please feel free to point out any mistakes or discrepancies no matter how small.
Thanks to all those who’ve contributed so far and thanks in advance to all the others.
