Thank you for visiting our site. The Leeds and 1000 Islands Historical Society was formed in 1992 and incorporated in January 1994 as an affiliate member of the Ontario Historical Society. Originally the Front of Leeds and Lansdowne Historical Society, we later became known as the Leeds & 1000 Islands Historical Society when the township amalgamated in 2001. We are endebted to our executive officers, committee members, and community partners for their ongoing support of our work.

The purpose of our historical society is to discover and promote the importance of our township and surrounding area in the development of Ontario; to preserve our history through a permanent collection of archives; to research and compile authentic records of sites of historical interest; and to share our history with the community by publishing our newsletter, holding meetings, participating in community events, and providing access through the web.

We encourage you to explore our site and contact us with your questions or comments. If you have a story to tell about people or events in our township, we'd love to hear it! We hope you enjoy discovering the past of the Leeds and 1000 Islands area as much as we enjoy bringing it to you!
