North Grenville Historical Society: An Arm & A Leg. Forrest Pass tells the story of a Kemptville furniture maker who rose to become an inventor and manufacturer of artificial limbs after the US Civil War. March 11, 2026, 7pm, 148 Prescott Street, Kemptville, Ontario.
This Wed, March 11, I'll be giving a talk to the North Grenville Historical Socty about John Condell, a cabinet maker who patented Canada's first artificial leg in 1855 and later made limbs for US Civil War amputees. If you're in Kemptville, ON, or environs, it'd be great to see you! #cdnhist
