GLAMORGAN The potential interviewee for the township of Glamorgan is Elva Bates, a local author. The township of Glamorgan’s main village is Gooderham. This section begins with a poem by a local hunter, trapper, and businessman, titled ‘Glamorgan’: There’s a moon beaming high in the silvery sky, There’s a glitter of frost in the air; The snow-laden branches upon the dark pine Make a fairy-land wondrous fair. There are snow-covered hillsides, There are ice-covered ponds, It is a Fairy-land, sure as can be, And Man that dwells therein, Though he may not be aware, One of the Lucky is he! The cares of the world he shrugs from his back Of the Atom no worry has he He’s a child of the wild on whom Nature has smiled In this land of the snowshoe and ski. (Peacock 1974) Poetry then is an example of an intangible cultural resource. Poetry readings or simple sales of poetry books could be of market interest to a developing tourism economy. The areas of interest in Glamorgan are listed below with a brief history of each site: “The native presence in the Township of Glamorgan has not been researched, except for the following: 1. Muskoka and Haliburton, 1615-1875, edited by Florence Murray, p. Lvi says, “The Indians most closely associated with Haliburton were the Mississaugas, described by the government as ‘The Chippewa Nation of Indians inhabiting the back parts of the New Castle District’…On November 5, 1818, by Treaty number 20, these Indians surrendered a great tract of land, 1, 951, 000 acres in extent, which included parts of Muskoka and 15
Haliburton south of the forty-fifth parallel…” and 2. Robert Hutton, in Peterborough Land of Shining Waters, discusses the European and Native alliances in the Kawarthas, an 1872 “Government Map of the Ottawa-Huron Territory” includes the Township of Glamorgan. (Bates, 2007) • 1873 Sam Whitaker’s Tavern, 1875 Way’s Hotel, 1879 The Union House Hotel, 1880 the Queen’s Hotel. (Bates, 2007) • Theo Peacock’s Service Station was enlarged, and burned in 1965 and replaced ty the present structure. (Bates, 2007) • Livery Stables and Blacksmith Shops (Bates, 2007) • Falconer’s Store now the Mountain View Lodge (Bates, 2007) • IB&O had reached Gooderham 1894 and stopped running in 1912. Gooderham Station was destroyed Aug 30, 1947 by tornado. (Bates, 2007) • The Stave Mill 1898 was built by Richard Davis. In 1903 lease expired and the Stave Mill burned. Solomon Hadley sold lot to Donald McFadden who built a creamery. (Bates, 2007) • Walker’s Store in 1904 and operates today as ‘Gooderham lucky Dollar’. (Bates, 2007) • Huff’s Boarding House 1913 to Stoughton Electric and Plumbing in 1940. (Bates, 2007) • Falconer’s Store now the Mountain View Lodge (Bates, 2007) • “It was during the last half of the 19 th century that the white pine was stripped from Glamorgan’s hills and valleys. What a majestic sight those pines must have been, standing so straight and tall as far as the eye could see! An Ottawa Valley lumberjack describes what those original pine trees looked like: “Its trunk was as straight and handsomely grown as a moulded candle and measured six feet in diameter six feet from the ground…: and it has been said that one could walk from Gooderham to Minden under this pine canopy. The first timber licenses were issued in Glamorgan in 1864. (Bates, 2007) • “Two lumber companies which have had the greatest impact on this Township, are the Mossom Boyd Lumber Company and The Hunter Lumber Company. The former, having acquired timber limits in the townships of Snowdon and Glamorgan in the early 1860s, would have been responsible for roughing out some of the roads that we travel today, such as the Monk Road and the Bark Lake Road. Since there were no bridges crossing the Burnt/Irondale River east of the one in Lot 5 Conc VI (in the same place where the bridge on the Irondale Road is today), both Rodgers 16
