Biographical history
Born in 1908, in Kingston, Ronald Lawrence Way received his education at Queen's University. He was an historian, consultant and public servant. Perhaps his most splendid memorial would be Fort Henry, which he helped to reconstruct into a well-respected example of 19th century fortification. The reknown of his Fort Henry work made him a sought-after consultant on such matters, and he played a prominent role in the construction of Upper Canada Village and Old Fort William. Ronald Lawrence Way passed away February 14th, 1978 at the age of seventy.
