A Year at the Heritage House

This year's calendar takes you room by room through the 1854 Douglas house - the kitchen, the pantry, the barbershop, the treasures out on the lawn - and the people whose stories they hold.

Each month pairs an archival or museum photograph with a short story written by Society volunteers. November carries the story of Gunner Erwin Hendry, from the North Queens Remembers book published for Remembrance Day 2025.
