The Guelph Historical Society, in partnership with the Guelph Public Library, is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of About Guelph: Its Early Days and Later by David Allan.
The second edition is an updated version of Allan’s original book published in 1939.
As a member of a prominent Guelph milling family, Allan was in a unique position to observe the city as it developed. His reminiscences offer a glimpse of another era.
This illustrated book is a survey of Guelph’s first century from its founding in 1827 to the 1930s. It includes 32-pages of Allan’s colourful illustrations of local landmarks and buildings.
About Guelph: Its Early Days and Later is thoroughly indexed and forms a valuable resource for local history.
The book launch will take place March 7 at 7:30pm at the Guelph Public Library, Main Branch.
The books will be available for $20.
