The foundation is the independent fundraising arm of the museum. It raises funds for capital projects through events such as this one. The evening is a tribute to the Alexander family one of Haltons founding families who farmed the site from 1836 to 1961 where the museum is now located. After emigrating from Scotland in 1826, Adam Alexander I and his wife Margaret purchased 200 acres of land in 1836. In the years that followed, four generations of Alexanders settled the land and lived there until 1961, cultivating crops and breeding livestock. The Alexander Barn was one of the first electri- cally powered farms in southern Ontario and presently holds a vast collection of artifacts and exhibits. The museum is located at the Kelso Conservation Area in Milton. The event runs from 6 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $125 and sold in advance.
