Stop by any day during the celebration week August 1 through 10, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to  Chat with Us about your Family Connections to the Robinson Settlers of 1825.

• Browse our Cemetery Transcriptions and Headstone Photograph Collection, Newspaper Clippings, Family Histories, or look for a baptism or marriage in our microfilm collection of the Peterborough Catholic Diocese parish registers 1845-1910.
• Enjoy a delightful half hour or more, viewing the KARA photo display, Descendants in Our Time. Spend some time enjoying one or more of the KARA power-point Slide Shows. First presented in October 2024, this  original one hour presentation has been separated into  six short overviews that  represent some of the families who came as Robinson Settlers in 1825.
• Browse through Lists of the Settler Families who boarded each ship or spend some time reviewing the Fiats issued to settlers seeking their Land Patents.
• Talk with us about Land Records or locate your ancestor’s property on one of the Maps in the Historical Atlas of Peterborough County.
• Discover what can be found in the Heir and Devisee Records. Talk with us about how to sort through Census Records, whether in the Head of Household style of the 1830s and 1840s or the Nominal Census style that began in 1851.
• Ask us about how our area’s name changed, as we moved from Upper Canada, to Canada West, to Ontario. Or discover how Peterborough County was once part of the Newcastle District and later was the Colborne District before given our present day County system of names. There is so much to discover.
• KARA’s new volumes Robinson Roots Footprints of the Past will be available for purchase.
