  • Summary

  • This week, as Kate explains, a momentous event happened on November 26, 1878 - the building of the railway finally reached its destination - Haliburton village. But it seemed to take forever to actually get there and anticipation had been building for a couple of years. So here's some of the behind-the-scenes happening. Plus, Paul has the story of the day in Sptember in 1925 when a huge crowd attended a seance at a hall in downtown Toronto where officers from the Morality Squad arrested a ghostly apparition.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices.
