Event Details:

These small wooden boxes were handcrafted by prisoners from the Rebellion of 1837 as they awaited their trials in jail.  Retired teacher Darryl Withrow will present these unique artifacts and their fascinating stories.

Darryl first encountered rebellion boxes almost 20 years ago at a display of the palm - sized boxes at St. Lawrence Market in downtown Toronto.  This discovery ignited a passion in Darryl and his wife, leading them on an ongoing quest to find these boxes and uncover the stories of the men who crafted them.
