Scope and content
Series consists of a few legal documents and correspondence pertaining to the lawsuit filed by the Women’s Wentworth Historical Society against the Wentworth Historical Society for the money held in a bank account by the latter. The money was originally raised by members of the Ladies’ Committee of the Wentworth Historical Society, some of whom separated from the Society and established their own historical organization after a dispute over where to locate historical monuments honouring the dead from the War of 1812, and over where to build the public museum. This series also includes a petition to the Attorney General of Ontario requesting that control of Battlefield Park be vested with the government, and not with a historical society, specifically the Women’s Wentworth Historical Society, dated April 1916.
