This virtual exhibition invites you to explore the rich and often overlooked history of Melgund Township, nestled in the heart of Northwestern Ontario. Home to the close-knit communities of Dyment and Borups Corners, Melgund carries a legacy shaped by resilience, resourcefulness, and deep ties to the land. From early homesteading and railway development to logging, farming, and vibrant community gatherings, these towns have long been centres of hard work and quiet innovation. Through photographs, oral histories, maps, and archival documents, the exhibition celebrates the people and stories that have defined Melgund—honouring the past while preserving it for future generations.
