This week, Kate talks about the Reid family who built Haliburton village's iconic Reid House in the late 1800's that you can still visit at the Haliburton Highlands Museum. But who were the Reid family, and did they stay in Haliburton? Plus, Paul talks about John Anderson - a slave who killed a man while escaping from the US to Canada, and the legal attempts to try and extradite him back to the US. And the impact of the case on the relationship between Britain and the almost-independent-country of Canada.

This week, Kate talks about Bill Hudgins and his wife Emily - a well matched happy couple who added so much to the fabric of the early small village of Haliburton. Plus Paul talks about John Joseph Kelso, an Irish immigrant to Toronto who rose above early adversity to create charitable organizations protecting poor children and abused animals. His reforms were eventually enshrined in legislation across Canada and internationally. In fact he was invited to the White House by President Theodore Roosevelt to speak to a Child Welfare Conference in 1906.

This week, Kate talks about early Haliburton village's attempts to create Evergreen Cemetery - their first cemetery in the late 1860's. The type of service you don't necessarily initially think about and plan for when carving a new community out of the wilderness. Plus Paul talks about Marie-Josephte Corriveau - a young woman in 1760's Quebec who was convicted of murdering her husband, was executed and subsequently became a scary folk-lore figure in popular Quebec culture. A boogielady, if you will.

This week, Kate talks about Arthur Bachelor and his legacy in early 1900's Haliburton. Arthur was a classic mover and shaker who was into EVERYTHING and contributed so much to the community - and died too young under tragic circumstances. Plus, Paul talks about the minesweeper HMCS Esquimalt, its fateful meeting with the German submarine the U-190, and how the two ships came to rest together forever on the ocean floor. The HMCS Esquimalt was the last Canadian warship sunk in WW2 - roughly 3 weeks before the war ended.

This week, Kate talks about the little town of Cheddar in Haliburton County from the late 1800's and how it may have gotten its name. BTW - it's a ghost town today. Plus, Paul talks about how Ireland's potato famine and land clearances led to tension and violence between Irish Protestant and Catholics in mid-1800's Toronto - all leading to Toronto being nicknamed the Belfast of North America.

This week, Kate talks about members of the community in Haliburton County aspiring to greater things - 'the little community that could', if you will. One example was the late 1800's Young Men's Literary Society where young men aspiring to greater culture could gather for tea, recitations, songs and stories. Plus, Paul talks about the more than 34,000 WW2 POW's who were held in camps in Canada and some of their experiences. Six thousand ended up asking to stay after the war.

This week - as early as 1892 people were canoe treking for recreation in Haliburton County. Kate talks about the diary entries of 2 such canoeists and their experiences while treking in September 1892. In some ways not so different from today.

This week, Kate talks about an iconic building in Haliburton County's village of Minden - the Rockcliffe Tavern. Built in 1903 it's had a number of owners, the building has changed over time and it's use has evolved over the generations from a hotel to a small town tavern. And now it has new owners! Plus, Paul talks about the tragic sinking of the SS Atlantic off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1873 with the loss of at least 535 lives. The Atlantic was a luxury ocean liner owned by the White Star Line - the future owner of the SS Titanic that sank almost exactly 39 years later in 1912.

This week, Kate talks about a memorial stone dedicated to 5 pioneer children in Essonville (part of Haliburton County) who succumbed to diptheria - all of them separately over the period of roughly a month in 1896 - and the other 3 children and the parents who survived. Plus, Paul talks about Canada's first Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe and how he was portrayed in the Netflix historical/fiction series "Turn: Washington's Spies". Was he the villain the Rebels thought he was, or was he a British & Canadian hero?
