TREE PLANTING DAY A GREAT SUCCESS!!


A big thank you to all that assisted in organizing the Annual Tree Planting Day in Essa this year.  The event was a huge success and could not have been done without the volunteers and support from residents within communities near and far.  Fun was had by all!

Essa Historical Society


Essa Historical Society held their first meeting May 1979 at the Egbert Community Centre.  We celebrated our 25th birthday in June 2004 with twelve of the charter members in attendance.

Monthly meetings are held at the Thornton Library on the fourth Saturday of each month at 1:30 p.m. except for the months of June, July, August and December.  Our program consists of speakers, discussions and trips.

The purpose of our Society is to continually update the history of Essa Township and to promote the preservation of historical buildings and landmarks, Essa Township's heritage and our Society whenever possible; and to work with other Historical Societies.

To date we have published two books with the assistance of the Township of Essa, "Century of Progress up to 1950" and "Essa:  The Garden of Simcoe County 1950-2000".  As well, booklets on the hamlets of Ivy, Egbert and Thornton are available.

For further information, please call (705) 458-9971.
