Vintage Acton was started by local historian Scott Brooks, on February 28th, 2017, out of a need to provide online access to Acton, Ontario's rich and diverse history through photos and stories - all in one place, starting out on Facebook and later on Instagram. 

Even though Acton is a small community within Halton Hills, it holds a large Historical and Cultural significance within the Region, the Province, and even across Canada.

Since starting Vintage Acton, Scott Brooks, Manager & Curator of Vintage Acton, continues his mission to share Acton's history through photos, videos, and events in a unique and passionate way, so that local history will be preserved and shared for the present and future generations.

The majority of Vintage Acton's photos and historical information is from the Dills Collection, Acton's largest historical collection, a legacy of the late Dave & Kay Dills who were once owners of the newspaper The Acton Free Press under their company Dills Printing & Publishing Limited. Since their passing, Scott is honoured to be the caretaker of the Dills Collection, and continues to actively share many historical items from this collection, whether that be online (Facebook, Instagram & YouTube), in publications, on display, or through an in-person tour or presentation.

If you have a photo, artifact, or story you would like to share, relating to Acton's past, please feel free to reach out at any time.
