The Innisfil Historical Society is concerned with the history of
the Town of Innisfil, Ontario. Innisfil is located south of
Barrie and includes the communities of Stroud, Alcona,
Churchill, Lefroy, Bell Ewart, and Cookstown. The Society meets
monthly, except for December, July and August, at 2 p.m. on the
third Saturday of the month. Most meetings are held at the
Knock Community Centre, located at 7756 10 Sideroad of
Innisfil (county road #54), at the 9th Line.
The format for meetings varies, most of which feature a guest
speaker. The Society also has "open houses" with displays,
working sessions, and an annual bus tour of historical sites in
Innisfil. All meetings are open to the public and free of
charge.
At Knock, the Society has a Document Centre. The Centre has a
collection of all types of documents of historic interest about
Innisfil. The Centre is open to the public by appointment.
A number of publications about Innisfil's history are available
for purchase. Titles and ordering information can be found on a

All members of the Society receive a newsletter, published 9
times a year. As well as information on the Society's
activities, the newsletter reprints items of historical interest.
