: Halfway House Hotel; Photo of the "Half Way House" Hotel, located on the northeast corner of Concession 4 and Highway 11. G. Timmons was the proprietor. The building was also known as the Churchill Hotel and Churchill House at various points in time. This photograph was published in The Witness with this caption "This old photo, provided through the courtesy of the Innisfil Document Centre, shows the building which probably gave the community of Churchill its name. During the 1850s, an innkeeper set up shop on the northeast corner of the intersection and hung out a sign reading, "Church Hill House." For many years the village name was Church Hill. The sign above the doorway in the photo, taken about 1906, reads, "Halfway House: G. Timmons, proprietor." Still extant today, the old hotel is a fine residence, the home of Ruth Terrell.", IHS2593

: Harvester; Photo of Roy Goodfellow and Calvin Boyd in 1954 working with a McKee Harvester to fill an open silo with corn silage. A harvester worked to fill a wagon with product from the field, and then returned to the barn or silo where the harvester could be hooked up to a pipe and the contents of the wagon would be transferred inside. Community member Scott Brown adds: "We had one of these McKee Harvester systems on our farm. It looks like the same set up as we had. It was used for blowing loose hay into a mow in the barn. We actually had an automatic unload wagon. There were beaters at the front of the wagon that slowly let the hay into the blower. Great way to put hay in the barn, but was a little extra work getting it out of the mow in the winter time.", IHS3934
