What is the history behind this provincial historic site?
Who was Rutherford and what did this man do that was so important?

I heard that the Oct 16 presentation was really good. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend.
I am happy to hear that the first lecture received some positive feedback. Hopefully you will be able to check out the remaining two lectures.
Hi. It’s a minor thing, but you may want to put the address for Rutherford House in some of the advertising material for the lectures (which sound great). It took me a minute to even remember if Rutherford House was in Edmonton or Calgary. Yes, true confession. Greg
Hi Greg. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I have made some adjustments.
