A History of The Town of Durham 1842-1994

A History of the Town of Durham 1842–1994, edited by the Durham Historical Committee, is a detailed and affectionate social history of the town of Durham, Ontario, tracing the community from its early beginnings in 1842 through more than 150 years of change.

Rather than focusing only on prominent names and major events, this local history celebrates the everyday people who shaped Durham's character. It remembers the citizens who worked, raised families, supported local businesses, attended community gatherings, played sports, enjoyed the surrounding countryside, and helped create the town's strong sense of loyalty and pride.

Filled with local facts, stories, memories and community history, this volume provides a fascinating record of life in Durham and the people who made the town what it became.

A wonderful addition to a Grey County or Ontario history collection, and an especially meaningful book for former and current Durham residents, genealogists, researchers and collectors of Canadian local history.
