Richard Henderson, a four-time great grandson of early settler Philemon Wright, will give a presentation on his ancestor who established the first permanent settlement in the Ottawa Valley. He was the one who provided most of the provisions for the Richmond settlement when it started in 1818. Richard Henderson has written a book about his ancestor called Walking in the Footsteps of Philemon Wright.

This presentation will take place on April 28 at 1:30 p.m. at the Grace Thompson Room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street.
