Organizer
Whitby Historical Society
Founded in 1967, the Whitby Historical Society continues to be dedicated the preservation of history and heritage, and to generating public interest through a variety of community outreach and educational programs. In an agreement with the Town of Whitby, the Whitby Historical Society also operates the Lynde House Museum, sustaining an extensive collection of historical artifacts, and acts as an archive for both the written and pictorial history of Whitby and Southern Ontario.
The Whitby Historical Society offers an extensive year-round calendar of events, welcoming guests from around the world as well as local school and community groups to the Lynde House Museum for tours, offering a glimpse into the lives of settlers in the early 1800s. The Whitby Historical Society runs the Warren General Store, operates a Visitor Information Centre, and maintains Clarissa Lynde’s Heritage Kitchen Garden, exhibiting typical plants and herbs used in the kitchens of the 1800s.
