History
The Lennox and Addington Historical Society was formally constituted in 1907. The objectives were: “To engage in the collection preservation, exhibition and publication of materials for the study of history, especially the history of the County of Lennox and Addington.” The archival collections of the Society are housed at the Lennox and Addington County Museum in Napanee. The Society has always taken the position that paper ephemera can contribute to the understanding of history and has collected sheet music since the Society was founded. The sheet music collection includes acquisitions from many sources, but the two largest accessions came from Beatrice Baughan and Mary Daly. Mary Christina Daly was a daughter of William A. Daly of Napanee. Beatrice Alice Baughan, a member of the Newburgh Baughan family, was organist at Trinity United Church, Napanee, for many years.
