it would be an honour to learn more; I have never heard about Amherstburg Museum or even know who this person represents in history, and I won’t blame it on history class but myself for limiting my knowledge on people in history that have made an impact.

Hi Sophia, how can we help? We’re here to share and educate people about this important history, and would be happy to assist! 🙂
