Main Street Hillsborough across from Old Baptist Church Designated Historic Building The Peck Memorial Hall Located in Hillsborough, The Peck Memorial Hall was the first building in Canada to be erected in memory of those who sacrificed their lives during the Great War, 1914-1918. Fifty-three of the young men who marched away from their Albert County homes were never to return. On October 30, 1917 the First World War battle of Passchendaele claimed the life of Lieut.
