The Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario encourages and supports a variety of projects which interpret Mennonite heritage to Mennonites and non-Mennonites alike through periodicals, workshops and seminars, public meetings, historical sites and publications.

Join us for our Annual Meeting on June 7, 2008 at Grace Mennonite Fellowship Church, 2111 Bean Road, New Hamburg on the theme:

"Upholding the Biblical Tradition":
The Conservative Mennonite movements in Ontario, 1950 to the present

There are many Conservative Mennonite Churches in the rural areas around New Hamburg, Milverton and Elmira and scattered throughout Ontario. This Conservative movement, which grew out of the Mennonite Conference of Ontario and the Ontario Amish Mennonite Conference in the late 1950s, has a complex history with little written about it. Come out and learn!
