​2026 is going to be FUN! 
  1. With other community partners, we will be celebrating the 175 Anniversary of Plattsville on Saturday, June 20, 2026 - mark your calendars!
  2. The Plattsville & District Heritage Society will be also celebrating a milestone! It has been 25 years since we were incorporated with the Ontario Historical Society; and
  3. We are busy planning for our twelfth major exhibit this summer ~ Holidays and celebrations that bring us together. 

The Plattsville & District Heritage Society was incorporated under The Ontario Historical Society in 2001. Our mission/tag line is "Preserving the past for the future".
Our objectives include:
- to promote and encourage interest in the history of Plattsville and the surrounding district;
- to collect, classify, edit and preserve historical information relating to Plattsville and the surrounding district; and
- the organization shall be carried on without purpose of gain for its members and any profit or other gains to the organization shall be used in promoting its objectives.
​

We are a dedicated group who love to share their love of history (local, Canadian and world). To promote history and more cultural education in our community, we also have a Heritage Cupboard in the Plattsville Public Library that has themed displays and encourages people to visit/join us. 
​
Since July 2012, The Plattsville & District Heritage Society has a home at the former Chesterfield United Church and we are into our second 10 year agreement with the Chesterfield Cemetery Board. The majority of our members are seniors. We have an Archives Committee who are busy archiving materials donated to the Society to preserve the history of Plattsville and the surrounding district. Our Archives Collection continues to grow.


Our building is available to other groups and is a meeting place for those visiting family buried at the Chesterfield Cemetery. We receive requests to help locate plots for families researching their history.


Find us. Plan a visit. ​​
