As part of the Welland Canal Bicentennial Travelling Lecture Series, Michelle Vosburgh will speak on November 15 at 1 p.m. at the Port Colborne Museum, 286 King Street, Port Colborne.

Her talk “Conflicts and Controversy on the Early Welland Canals” focuses on labour disputes, political animosity, local jealousies, and competition to malicious disinformation campaigns, construction and operation of the early Welland Canals.  It was not all smooth sailing in the beginning!

Free admission, all welcome.
