Heritage Cornwall Book
"Built With Pride, Built With Style - 
Discovering Cornwall's Architectural Heritage" 

This book is Heritage Cornwall's first major publication that was officially released on February 26, 2007.  The book uses Cornwall properties as examples of the various architectural styles that have been used since the community was first settled in 1784 right up to today's modern styles (Palladian Georgian to Post Modern).  It also features a Glossary to help the reader understand the many proper names that are used to describe features of a building, such as a bay window, cornice and pinnacle.  Originally conceived as a means for Heritage Cornwall members to become familiar with architectural terms, the 2003 - 2006 term of the committee realized that the publication would be an excellent way to promote Cornwall's fantastic building heritage and would make a great coffee table book for every household.  If you'd like any further information about this publication, please e-mail us with your questions."

Cornwall And Area Plaques
The next few weeks will be dedicated to plaques and the written word all about Cornwall and surrounding area that have been erected to commemorate the history of the area. It has been suggested that in many categories the local areas in question are  more historic than many other parts of Ontario. So Let's start our journey. Over the weeks you will be given the chance to learn a lot of history you may not have known existed.  The pages that follow are loaded with not only area history but history that covers many other parts of Ontario
