Preserving History, Sharing Stories & Celebrating Community
Welcome to the official homepage of Ross C. Morton. For decades, I have been dedicated to capturing the rich heritage, rural charm, and human stories of Eastern Ontario—from the cherished memories of one-room schoolhouses to the historical tapestry of the local Townships.
Through my books, including “The Life and Times of a One-Room School”, “Tales From The Townships”, and “That Reminds Me”, I invite readers to step back in time. These pages reflect a lifetime of experiences—growing up during the Great Depression, serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, exploring the heritage of the Bay of Quinte, and reflecting on family, resilience, and rural life.
Whether you are a local history enthusiast, a fellow storyteller, or simply curious about the everyday experiences that shaped our communities, I hope these writings bring you insight and nostalgia. Feel free to explore my published works, read reflections on the blog, or reach out directly.
