When Good Foods Go Bad
Jane was born in rural South-Western Ontario and is a passionate advocate for culinary history.
Her work bridges education, community engagement and the exploration of Canada’s rich food heritage. She serves as Vice-President of the Culinary Historians of Canada.
Jane’s talk at the museum will include stories of the murder of Meta Cherry from Galt and how the death of her parents by drinking water encouraged “the Sherlock of the Prairies”, Dr. Frances Gertrude McGill to become Canada’s 1st Female Pathologist in 1915.
Tickets at the door preferred, as the museum is closed to the public for the month of February.
Behind
the Turquoise Door!
Dan Brown loves restoring old houses and building new houses to look old.
For over 30 years Dan has restored 42 houses in the Brantford and Brant County area and built 3 houses to look a century old, most iconically rebuilding the abandoned house on Tollgate road to look like the original house.
He has a keen eye for finding architectural antiques and a knack for balancing modern building techniques with old world charm. Dan is a member of the Brantford and Brant County heritage committees.
