We are pleased to present a collection of historic postcards documenting aspects of our community through the years. This material has been graciously made available to us by Robin McKee. He is a Counsellor on the Executive of the Hamilton Mountain Heritage Society and is keenly interested in the history of our community. Robin also operates “Historical Perceptions”, a program that provides public tours of the Hamilton Cemetery (see below for additional details).
As demonstrated by this collection of historic postcards Hamilton is a place of beauty and interest.
These postcards are from the collection of Robin McKee – “Historical Perceptions” and are included here with his permission.
Each year Robin McKee conducts lively, informative tours of selected grave sites in Hamilton Cemetery
(located at 777 York Boulevard – across from Dundurn Castle).
These “Stories in the Stones” tours operate rain or shine.
