Gleneden WIF69
Since formation in 1919, the Gleneden Women’s Institute has been operating out of the village of Gleneden, serving a large area stretching from the hamlet of Nenagh (three concessions north of Gleneden), to Holstein, down to Mount Forest and into Minto Township in Wellington County. Gleneden is located two concessions north-west of Mount Forest, west of Highway 6 at the intersection of County Road 63 and Concession 2 W.G.R. (West of Garafraxa Road, now known as Highway 6) in the former Normanby Township (now the Municipality of West Grey). One of the few remaining active branches in Grey County, it began compiling a Tweedsmuir history book in 1963, which has now grown to be in four volumes. Volume one contains curator contributions, articles and photographs of township history, Gleneden, Nenagh and Mount Forest histories, local soldiers, branch history, school history, farm histories, special meetings and member biographies. Volume two comprises mostly photos and articles showing branch activities, plays, parades, anniversaries and contributions to the community. Volumes three and four record biographies of important people, fall fairs, bus trips, annual meetings and conferences, community events, deaths, church and cemetery histories.
