• Orangeman’s Day – twelfth of July, everybody started to hunt because all the warden’s were parade’n in town and you’d have the bush to yourself. Sometimes parade would be in Wilberforce or Gooderham. (Pope 1985) One year the Orangemen would have their parade in Wilberfoce and of the years it would be in Gooderham, Essonville, or Highland Grove. Len remembers the men, some twentyfive or thirty of them, parading along the main drag with their big orange sashes, and he also remembers the big white horse with king Bill in it. Best of all, however, he remembers the band and all the drums. They had swimming, canoe races, leg races, sack races.” (Pope 1985) Tory Hill • There were two colonization roads when Monmouth Township was first settled.
