Maggie Wilson

Maggie Wilson was born in Kitchener and lived her working life in several communities in Southern Ontario. She met her husband, a geologist, who introduced her to rocks and minerals and the Town of Cobalt. In 2016 they retired to Cobalt and could not be happier with the decision.

In 2017, Maggie accepted the position of President of the Cobalt Historical Society. So began her interest in the fascinating history of the area.

Besides mineral collecting, Maggie enjoys research and writing, and she looks forward to sharing new stories about Cobalt and its mining heritage. The work is like a treasure hunt and the discoveries are just as exciting as stumbling upon a nugget of silver.
