    Notes:

    Karen Stead Ennis
    This is Margaret Baird who lived on Herron Mills Road and also had a house in Lanark Village. She donated the and for the Lanark Museum and the Baird Trail. Margaret made her clothes from flour and sugar bags. She and her sister Nettie ate "organic" when every one else was pouring chemicals o n their gardents. They spent time on theor acreage digging weeds till they were so bent over you couldn't see who was driving the truck. My grandfather Harry Stead was the first one there when Nettie died in the porch. They always seemed to be very old but I am sure they weren't.

    Ruth Johnson
    Concur. She had a sister Nettie with whom she shared a home. I believe she moved from Toronto to Herron Mills Road in the mid 50s but had roots somewhere in Lanark County. Nettie died in the early to mid 60s and sometime after that Margaret had a house built in Lanark village.
    I (and Karen Ennis who commented above) grew up on Herron Mills roaad; maiden name Stead. Margaret walked to our farm to buy milk and eggs. A lovely interesting lady, a bit before her time in many ways.

    Rose Parsons
    She was the lady that helped raise money for the big arena in Lanark way back when. Always a very nice lady and if memory steers me right she had a sister too.

    Roxane Mesman
    I knew this was Ms Baird right away. I always spoke to her on my way by going to school or just walking. I knew she lived in Lanark.

    Judy Arnott
    Margaret also was one of the organizers of he walk to raise money for the arena. She was in the lead all the way.

    Corrine Lalonde
    Mrs Baird, she was the old librarian in Lanark. She used to drive her bike out to her farm.

    Shirley Kargakos
    She lived next door to me in Lanark and across the street from our restaurant. She loved my daughter Demetrie when she was a little girl. One Sunday she hid her in her house and they were cutting up newspapers together. I went to her door twice and sh said she hadn't seen her while half the town were searching for her. She was a good old soul that just wanted some company. All was forgiven. God bless her.

    Lynne Stead Dillon
    Wow. What a blast from the past. I was such a young child but I knew that was her.

    Lorna Deachman
    Yes. I wasa going to say she was one of the Baird sisters. I think the other one was called Nettie. Nice ladies!

    PIONEER FAMILY SETTLES PROPERTY

    The property was first settled by a pioneer family in 1837 and supported basic food crops and livestock, with the forest providing lumber, fuel and maple syrup. The sandy soil was only marginal for agriculture, however, and the lowlands flooded often due to beaver dams. The land was left idle in the 1920s. In 1963, Margaret Baird sold the 36-hectare parcel to the county and a red pine plantation was planted as part of a conservation program.

    LCMTC's mandate is to design, develop, manage and promote motorized and non-motorized trails on county-owned property. Donations and in-kind support help the organization to make improvements on the Baird Trail and other trails in community forests.

    There are various ways to assist. Donors can purchase a bench on the Baird Trail (or Tay River Pathway in Perth) for $1,500 and provide wording for an associated commemorative plaque.

    Donations of any amount can be made for general trail development across the county. The county's public works department administers the donations on behalf of the trails corporation and tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more.

    To get to the Baird Trail, from Lanark take Hwy. 511 north for 4 km to Herron Mills Road (County Road 8).

    Turn right and travel east for 2 km to the intersection at Rodger Road. The Baird property entrance is on the left, 250 metres east of the Rodger Road intersection. From Middleville, take County Road 8 south for 5 km. The entrance is 500 metres west of the Mitchell Road intersection.

    The trail leaves from the parking lot. Visitors can also find pit toilets and picnic tables onsite.

    More information about Lanark County's Community Forests and trails can be found at www.lanarkcounty.ca or www.lanarkcountytourism.com.
