Scope and content
Subseries consists of general correspondence pertaining to the original structure of the house, suggestions for improvements to the house to make it more appealing to visitors, and proposals and suggestions for programming at the property. There is also a letter sent from Councillor J. Heugh, Chairman of the Town of Stoney Creek to the Women’s Wentworth Historical Society regarding the book “Niagara,” in which the author, Philip D. (Dudley) Mason, mentions the park, museum and monument. The letter expresses the dismay that the author would refer to the park as nothing more than a field and describe the war memorial as ugly. The writer also sent carbon copies to various other relevant organizations and individuals asking how they felt about the author’s disparaging comments.
