- White Lake Tweedsmuir Community History Volume 1 of 1
White Lake village is located in eastern Ontario on the north easterly end of White Lake, one of the largest lakes in Ontario. The White Lake WI was formed in 1915. This volume is composed of 8 file folders of notes, clippings, and photos, rather than in a bound volume. Most of the information is community related, rather than specifically WI related, although there are some WI photos and articles particularly related to their 50th anniversary and the history of their building. There is no table of contents or index.
