Culture and Community
Although the Township of Russell’s growth allows us to look to the future, what remains fundamental to our identity is our history.
The Historical Plaque Program recognizes the persons, properties, and events that are historically significant to the Township of Russell. Since the program’s debut in 2019, we have worked towards honouring the stories that shaped our community.
Each bronze plaque has a historical photo and bilingual text describing the site’s historical significance. Visit the plaques in person!
