Kingston & District Branch of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada meet on Saturday, January 25, 2020 – 1:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall, 137 Queen Street. James Brownell, President of the Lost Villages Historical Society, will use photos to bring viewers on an armchair tour “Through the Lands of the Lost Villages”. With the construction of the Hydro and Seaway projects of the 1950s, the St. Lawrence Valley lost six villages and three hamlets that had been settled by United Empire Loyalists following the American Revolution. This presentation will highlight the construction, destruction and rehabilitation that took place, in the name of “progress”, between August 10, 1954 and July 1, 1958.
