Sports and Leisure Through the Years

No matter what your favourite season, The Middleville and District Museum’s Sports and Entertainment Exhibit has many pass-times you’ll recognize and even a few you might not. Of course, baseball and hockey have been popular through the years. Skates, sleds, skis and snowshoes also kept local youth engaged during snowy days.  ​

The boys of summer played ball in many of the small towns and villages of Middleville, Hopetown, Clayton, Watson’s Corners, Poland, Lanark and Perth. Union Hall even had a strong team widely known in the area as The Tigers. They had a successful season in 1920. Check out their win/loss record. You may even recognize a few family names on the team roster.  

Visit the Museum to find out more about how people spent their leisure time in years gone by.
