Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group has continued its series of donations to support heritage causes across Ontario in areas it serves, with Lang Pioneer Museum in Peterborough County receiving a cheque from the insurer.

To celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, Commonwell has donated $150,000 across six heritage organizations in Ontario, with each organization receiving $25,000. Aside from Lang Pioneer Museum, the other recipients include Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan, Kawartha Settlers Village in Bobcaygeon/Kawartha Lakes, and The Hastings County Historical Society in Belleville/Hastings.

Another donation was split between three rural Ottawa area museums, the Osgoode Museum, Watsons Mill, and Gouldbourne Museum.

Established in 1967, the Lang Pioneer Museum “preserves and authentically recreates the history of Peterborough County, providing visitors with an interactive view of the life in 19th-century rural Ontario,” a report from The Peterborough Examiner read.
