Join us for Family History Day

Celebrate Family History Day at the Middleville Museum with a performance by the fabulous Cindy Thompson on Sunday June 23. Tour the museum, take in a talk on family history resources and enjoy some homemade goodies from 11-3 p.m. Cindy and her husband Bruce Strathearn will play in the afternoon. Admission $5 for adults. Children under 12 free.
There is something for everyone in Cindy Thompson’s energetic fiddling. She draws from an extensive range of traditional fiddle styles, learned through personal experience and from a career that has taken her to local, National and International stages for over 45 years. Along with teaching and performing, Cindy continues to develop new traditional styles and enjoys teaching them to her many students in the local area. Come and meet Cindy with her husband Bruce Strathearn as they share their favourite fiddle tunes from the past and present.

Bruce Strathearn started learning the fiddle as an adult and has become a very accomplished fiddle player. He especially enjoys the Scottish and Cape Breton music. Bruce will be joining his wife Cindy Thompson in her performances this season. He looks forward to teaching fiddle music and sharing his knowledge to students in the local area. You can also sit in on a talk by David Murdoch to find out what family history resources are in the museum, including a look at our Lanark Families  page on Ancestry. Check out the history and stories of Irish settlers and immigrants. See you there!
