Tonight (November 9th) the North Lanark Historical Society is hosting local historian Robert Gardiner as he presents “The Battle of Pakenham: What Really Happened.”
One day in November 1838, the local village became the scene of a violent confrontation fueled by years of ethnic tensions and personal feuding.
It is the only battle in Canadian history fought between members of the same regiment!
Join local historian Robert Gardiner who discusses what really happened in Pakenham on a cold November afternoon 184 years ago.
Gardiner is a local amateur historian, and author of a new book on the history of Pakenham to be released in early 2023.
