About us

The Pickering Township Historical Society was founded in 1997 to promote public interest in the history of Pickering and vicinity.

We research, record, preserve, and publish the history of the Pickering area and work with other heritage organizations in the Pickering area to identify structures of historical significance or of outstanding architectural merit. We publish and reprint historical documents and papers and arrange for their distribution.

The PTHS serves as an historical resource for the local boards of education. public libraries, and other appropriate educational bodies and maintains relationships, as appropriate, with other heritage organizations within the former Pickering Township, and with other historical societies outside of the Township.
