Indian Chief’s 1762 Medal Loaned to Halton Museum for Centennial Display
A rare solid silver 1762 Canadian medal, inscribed in Latin with King George II, loaned by Port Loring Indian Chief Peter Stevens to the Kelso Halton County Museum for Centennial year. The piece, one of six struck, honors Indians who aligned with Britain in 1762. The Stevens family narrative ties the artifact to Quebec, Maniwaki, and Ojibway heritage, with safeguards planned for display.
