		Partners in the Past ^Votes:0 Partners in the Past: U of T and OAS Digs Archaeological and Photographic Exhibit In his 1970 article, 'The Ontario Archaeological Society: Two Decades of Development', Dr. J. N.

		Welcome to OLD KENNAWAY ^Votes:0 WELCOME TO OLD KENNAWAY Tour Guide: Christopher Martinello 91 Aitken Circle Unionville, Ontario L3R 7L5 Welcome to KENNAWAY! Wouldn't you like to be there? Kennaway was a settlement village near the modern town of Harcourt, Harcourt Township, Haliburton County, Ontario. It began around 1860 and was abandoned around the 1930's. Primarily a farming settlement, Kennaway also supported a schoolhouse, a few mills, a livery stable, a post office and a hotel. Kennaway created its farms out of the piney soil of the Canadian Shield. Surrounded by forest and lakes, the village was relatively isolated in the area, approximately 10 km away from Wilberforce, a larger town to the southeast. The primary focus of my research (and this website) is on the remaining structures and their interpretation as exa Read More Go to Site
