Excursions to places of historical interest
The Historical Society conducts an annual program of events and excursions to places of historical significance in Bothwell and surrounds. We haven’t yet set our program for 2026. To whet your appetite, here are some of the excursions we programmed in 2025. 2026 will see a similar list of fascinating places to visit and explore. To keep up to date on our events and excursions for 2026, join our mailing list.
