Small
At the crossroads of Highway #21 and Highway #2 in southwestern Ontario lies the small village of Thamesville. Nestled in an idylllic rural setting, this beautiful historic village is unfortunately located only one kilometre north of the shores of the Thames River.
Over the years, Thamesville has been a frequent victim of the river.s raging floodwaters. The worst in the area.s history was the Great Flood of 1937, a catastrophic event still vividly remembered by many of Thamesville.s senior citizens. Their recollections of floodwaters sweeping over the small community are included in this Community Memories exhibit, mounted by the Thamesville Old Town Hall Museum.
