The village of Hazeldean, formerly part of Goulbourn Township, then within the boundaries of the city of Kanata is situated south of Maplegrove/Kakulu Road and west of Eagleson Roads. The original settlement of Hazeldean in 1818 was by group of “Loyal Protestants” and their families (15) who arrived mid-November after an arduous
45 day journey departing from Cork on June 11 1818. The Hazeldean settlers were part of a group numbering 183 under leader Richard Talbot, mostly immigrants from in or near Cloghjordan, in Modreeny parish, County Tipperary.
You are invited to join Roger Young for a very interesting presentation on the human stories behind the voyage and settlement of Hazeldean that started over 200 years ago. Roger Young is our newest historical society director and has a lifetime and ancestral connection to the community of Hazeldean.
