Cherry Hill
One reason to salvage information about the site was to see if we could find evidence of the earliest presence of the family who received the land as grant from the government because they were United Empire Loyalists. We found far more than we anticipated because we found a buried refuse pit and buried architecture. The artifact collection from the site is exceptional and huge. The collection is at the Bradley Museum today, still being analyzed. We never did get much money for the analysis (no one suspected the site would be so complex) so much of it was done on a voluntary basis. Students wrote reports and some experts helped with aspects of the study.
For stories about the site, the Mississauga library has a collection.
