As part of Lambton County’s 175th Anniversary Celebrations, Lambton County Museums and Lambton County Library are inviting residents to share their local historical items and stories.
Lambton 175 Show & Tell invites residents to show items that reflect Lambton’s diverse past. Whether it’s a family photograph, a handwritten diary, or a treasured heirloom, every item holds a piece of Lambton’s heritage. For safety reasons, please do not bring firearms.
At these events, residents can benefit from the expertise of staff from the Museums and Archives, who can provide insights and possibly record, digitize, or photograph the items to help preserve Lambton’s history for future generations.
