Chestnut Hall Ghost Investigation
Join Beyond Ghosts Canada for an evening-long investigation of Chesnut Hall in Thorold, Ontario, home of the Thorold & Beaverdams Historical Society.
From Heritage Thorold -
"Chestnut Hall was built for John McDonagh, a lumber merchant who served as Reeve of the Village of Thorold from 1871 to 1874, then as Mayor of the Town of Thorold from 1881-1884. McDonagh's widow left the house to St. John's Anglican Church, which used it as a manse for a few months before selling it in 1920 to the Great War Veterans' Association (later the Canadian Legion). Chestnut Hall has also housed the former Town of Thorold Municipal Offices and the Regional Health Department. Currently it is the home of the Thorold and Beaverdams Historical Society and the Thorold Museum as well as forming part of the Thorold Public Library.
The main section of this building is two storeys high with a bay window on the first floor extending to an open porch on the second floor. There are five different sections in the house, indicating that additions were built at various times. The rear addition has interesting arched windows which are very different from those in the main part of the house. The house has a low hipped roof with a plain boxed cornice and bracketed shelf over the main entrance."

| Question: |
Can I be on a waiting list if there is a cancellation for the investigation of Chestnut Hall? I worked in that building from 1978 to 1981 and it has always intrigued me...I live just up the street from it. |
