beaverton thorah eldon historical society museum

This museum and archives, located in Beaverton, has been collecting documents and photographs, most of them covering the people and landscape of the town of Beaverton, located on the east side of Lake Simcoe in Ontario, as well as the townships of Eldon and Thorah, all of which were settled at the same time by predominantly Scots highlanders both Roman Catholic and Presbyterian. As well as the documents and photos, any visitor should spend some time in the three buildings -- an authentic log settlers home, a brick house representing post-settlement days, and a rare stone jail dating to the 1840s.
