Aberdeen WIF22
![]()
The village of Aberdeen, located north-west of Durham at the intersection of Side Road 18 and Concession 2 in the former Bentinck Township (now part of West Grey Township), had an active Women’s Institute from 1926 to 1972, when dwindling membership caused it to disband. The Aberdeen Women’s Institute served a large area, covering most of Bentinck Township including Durham, Hanover and as far as Elmwood. The Tweedsmuir History compiled by the Aberdeen branch is filled with photographs, newspaper clippings and member contributions chronicling the history of the village, its church, school and surrounding properties, as well as institute initiatives and activities.
