"Plaque Build-up" Commemorating the Buxton Settlement, 1950 - 2000"
Embedded in the landscape are several commemorative plaques. In South Buxton, immediately in front of St. Andrew’s Church, there stands a short cairn with a small bronze plaque that reads, “1949, In memory of Rev. Wm. King who founded Buxton Settlement, 1849, and built St. Andrew’s Church, 1859.” A few steps away from this cairn, stands a blue plaque that also commemorates the Buxton settlement. It was placed there in 1965. In North Buxton, there is a museum and a set of three plaques that designate the Buxton Settlement as a national historic site. Why are there so many commemorations to a single place and a single moment in history?
Negotiating the past : the making of Canada's national historic parks and sites
It was the "politics of historic sites" rather than objective policy that determined the treatment of heritage properties; whether they were marked with a bronze plaque, preserved as ruins, or reconstructed as major tourist attractions. Although the aim of this study is to determine how a national cultural agency works, it also illustrates the way in which the federal system operates to incorporate regional aspirations into a federal form.
