Vanished Villages in our district – a post mortem 
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Location: Glencoe Public Library

While Newbury continues to thrive, many once-bustling nearby settlements in west Middlesex have quietly disappeared from the map. What happened to places like Strathburn, Kilmartin, Ekfrid Station, Pratt Siding, and Cashmere—and why did Newbury and Glencoe endure while they did not?

In this illustrated and engaging talk, local historian Jennifer Grainger explores the rise and fall of these vanished villages. Drawing on maps, photographs, land records, and archaeological clues, she traces where these communities were located, how historians and genealogists research them today, and what—if anything—remains on the landscape.

This presentation will appeal to anyone interested in:

Local and regional history
Genealogy and place-based research
Transportation, railways, and economic change
Heritage preservation and memory
