EVENT
Historical Walk 2014
The Alcove Historical Society will host a guided tour of Alcove for a delegation from the Gatineau Valley Historical Society Saturday, June 14 2014 at 2:00 p.m.
meeting place 845 Route 105 (Pritchard Barn) 00' south of Ryan's Garage (same side of Highway, Free Parking)
Over the past century this small town, once known as North Wakefield, was a thriving community with two sawmills, a dancehall and a ferry crossing the Gatineau River. We will explore the town's historic structures and learn about those no longer standing. We will also visit the Pritchard family cemetery, the final resting place of many members of this pioneer family.
All Alcove residents and Alcove Community Association members are encouraged to join in.
If you have any old pictures, historical facts or stories you'd like to share please let David Pritchard know so that we can incorporate your information as a highlight on the walking tour.
Should be a hoot.
Rain or shine - refreshments to follow.

GENERATIONS OF LADS ON THE RIVER
For many years the Lads of Alcove created a one of a kind raft using recuperated logs and wood and then floated this raft down the river to take part in the Wakefield Canada Day Celebrations.
