THE HAMMOND STORY SO FAR...
The Hammond Family Project is an ongoing activity of the Family History Committee of Maple Ridge Historical Society.
Since 2002, the project has gathered and compiled information about the family of John and William Hammond, founders of the British Columbia community of Port Hammond.
Hear how this project furthers the community story, contributes to the
history of British Columbia, and helps participants develop and practice
research skills.
