WHAT: September Speaker Event
WHEN: Thursday, September 17 at 7pm
WHERE: The Former Cornwallis Inn Dining Room, Main Street Station, Kentville
DETAILS: Join us on Thursday, September 17th for Secrets That Deeds Reveal, a talk with local historian Garnet Misner.
Garnet’s passion for history began with researching his family genealogy and grew into a deep interest in Kings County and the history of the land. He has become a sought-after researcher of historical deeds, land titles, and land transfers.
Discover what these records can reveal about the people and properties of our past!
