Dufferin County, Ontario Genealogy & History More Canadian Resources | More Ontario Resources More Dufferin County Resources BOOK - East Garafraxa: A History By Steven J. Brown, Krista Taylor 
When the cold winter winds blow and snow fills the concession lines in East Garafraxa, a storm-stayed traveller might be forgiven for wondering why on earth Garafraxa's roads head northwest, on a different bearing from the roads in the neighboring townships of East Luther and Amaranth. Were they specifically designed to catch snow and impede traffic? For the answer to that and other questions about East Garafraxa, Steven J. Brown and Krista A. Taylor have looked back to the earliest days of what we now know as East Garafraxa. From those early times to the present, Mr. Brown and Ms. Taylor have brought to life, East Garafraxa: A History. "I blame it on my Grandmother - she told such great stories!" is how author Steve Brown explains his lifelong interest in the history of Dufferin County. Through the pages, readers will develop a new appreciation not only for the settlers and the legacy they left, but also of the trials and successes of those who came after. East Garafraxa: A History is a testament to the people who have lived, loved and worked in that wonderful place. About the authors:

Brown was born and raised on a farm in what's now part of Orangeville, Mr. Brown worked for Thomson newspapers in Orangeville and Cornwall, and was editor of the Orangeville Banner before becoming the Archivist at the Dufferin County Museum and Archives in 1993.
