Portrait of the Region

9

The Mount Megantic region is now the first InternationalDark Sky Reserve, recognized by the InternationalDark-Sky Association. A dark sky like you’ve neverseen it!

T he Eastern Townships served as a traveling,hunting and trapping ground for theAbenakis,members of the Algonquian tribe who

traveled between the coast of Maine and the St. LawrenceRiver by way of our mountains. Their legacy includes the

poetic native designations given to many of ourlakes and rivers: Coaticook (river of the pinelands),Massawippi (lake of deep water), Memphremagog(great expanse of water), Mégantic (where lake troutlives) and Missisquoi (much waterfowl).

More than 60 producers lovingly care for their land, appleorchards, vineyards and maple trees in order to producethe freshest and most natural products.

Throughout the Townships, artists, craftspeople, musiciansand writers are inspired to express their creative talents.Every summer, the region offers a number of “Arts Circuits.”

In 1792, the Canadian government, part of the BritishEmpire, founded by decree a new region known as the“Eastern Townships,” granting land divided into“townships.” Around 1820, the first wave of Irishimmigrants settled the area.A second wave around 1840included not only Irish but also British and Scottishpioneers. The names Gould, Scotstown and Frelighsburghave their origins from these earlier settlers.

It was not until 1850 that French Canadians settled in theEastern Townships and founded the villages of Saint-Camille, Saint-Malo and La Patrie which remind us oftheir ties to the Catholic religion and its traditions.

Less than an hour from Montreal and close to the QuebecCity region (120 km), the Eastern Townships skirts theU.S. border at Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine formore than 300 km.

Benedectine monks have lived a contemplative religious life at the Saint-Benoit-du-Lac Abbey (on thewest shore of Lake Memphremagog) since 1912, observing the rules of Saint Benoit de Nursie (480-547)and the constitution of the Monastic Congregation of Solesmes, France. Their lives are primarily focusedon the search for God and on prayer, balanced with study, physical work and pastoral ministry to theirvisitors and guests.

Part of the Abbey's buildings are the work of Dom Paul Bellot (1876-1944), the internationally celebratedFrench Benedictine architect. His style is characterized by the search for perfect harmony in accordancewith the geometric laws of nature. Later buildings include a guest-house, the basement and the steepleof the Abbey church, all designed by Dom Claude Côté (1909-1986). The Church, designed by Montrealarchitect Dan S. Hanganu, was consecrated on December 4, 1994.

On the grounds, a guest house is available for men who wish to withdraw in retreat for a few days in anatmosphere of peace and meditation. Women are also welcomed in a neighbouring house run by nuns.

Eucharist is celebrated daily at 11 a.m. in Gregorian chant as is Vespers starting at 5 p.m. exceptThursdays (at 7 p.m.) and Tuesdays in July and August. Certain parts of these public prayers are conductedin French.

Located about 10 km from Sutton along the American border on Route 139, Abercorn was founded in 1929.This town was originally called Sheppard's Mills in honour of one of its first colonists, Thomas Sheppard ofNew Hampshire, who built a grain mill and sawmill.The name Abercorn came from Linglithgowshire, close to Edinburg – after James, second Marquis and firstDuke of Abercorn – and still inspires memories of Scottish nobility. Thomas Spencer built the first log cabin inAbercorn east of Ormes Road in April 1792. Experience the charm of a small hamlet where the Loyalist cachethas been preserved.

Asbestos is most famous for its mine shaft and for good reason – it is the largest open-pit mine in the world!Asbestos – the mineral – was discovered in this location in 1879, andWilliam H. Jeffrey began to mine it in 1881.This serpentine site produces chrysotile, one of two known asbestos fibres currently mined in Quebec. Anobservation post lets visitors marvel at the sheer size of the mine – 350 metres deep and two kilometres indiameter. In Asbestos you’ll find quad trails at Parc récréotouristique de Mine Jeffrey where VTT enthusiasts haveaccess to more than 30 km of trails created over mounds of mining residue. These trails provide an exceptionalview of the mine and entire Asbestos region. The Mineralogical Museum presents minerals and the history of this“Asbestos Capital.” Asbestos residents have every right to be proud, and their collective memory includes themining strikes of 1920, 1937 and 1949. The last of these left a permanent mark on the history of Quebec andintroduced some of our lead trade unionists. The town was first instituted as a postal station and became a villagein 1899; it received its statute in 1939. Trois-Lacs, recently amalgamated with Asbestos, offers country living andcan be reached by Route 255 from Danville and Route 249 fromWindsor. The population of this area grows fivetimes its size during the summer season.Attractions: Musée minéralogique et d’histoire minière (Mineralogical and Mining History Museum), Campmusical d’Asbestos (Asbestos Music Camp), see page 75

Founded in 1901, the municipality of Ascot Corner drew its name from an English village, Ascot, which wasrenowned for its equestrian grounds. George Stacey – whose father, a government employee in London, senthis son to Lower Canada to avoid jail for bad gambling debts – was one of the fledgling town's first residents.As far as 'Corner' goes, it is explained through the village's location – at the junction of Stoke, Westbury,Eaton and Ascot Townships, as well as at intersecting roads leading to East Angus, Cookshire, Lennoxvilleand Sherbrooke. Facing a bridge that spans the St. Francis River are the ash-white church and its rectory,proudly perched on the promontory.

In 2002, this parish – originally named for the patron saint of hunters, Saint-Hubert de Spalding – celebratedits centennial. The municipality later adopted its current name to honour its first postmaster, Mr. Audet.Nestled between the American border and the Chaudière riverbed, at 535 metres above sea level, the villageoffers a unique view of the surrounding area. The Samson River crosses the hamlet at its eastern tip. Residentsmake their living from seasonal tourism linked to fishing, hunting and snowmobiling, as well as from forestrywork, agriculture and maple products.

Splitting away from East Bolton, Austin became its own town in 1938, and is named for its founder, a Quakerwho immigrated here in 1795. Nicholas Austin lived on the west side of Lake Memphremagog in the townshipgranted to him in 1797. Later, an Episcopal church was established – the Church of Atonement (1865) –acquired by the monks of the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac abbey in 1937, but sold shortly thereafter to the SherbrookeDiocese. The Saint-Benoît abbey is one of the main reasons for Austin's notoriety, but credit is also due toReginald Aubrey Fessenden, a citizen and the son of a minister who, in 1906, completed the world's first radiovoice transmission from Brant Rock, Massachusetts to Norfolk, England.Attraction: Boutique Nature Autochtone, see page 75

Formed in 1909, the municipality of Ayer's Cliff still maintains its Anglo-Saxon lustre from the late 18th century.John Langmaid of New Hampshire took ownership of the territory, which he baptized under his own name asLangmaid's Flat. He ran a small hotel, welcoming visitors traveling up from the United States. In 1799, a mannamed Thomas Ayer bought property to lay a rail line. When this was accomplished, the town took on thename Ayer's Flat. But this term – suggesting a swampy lowland – didn't bode well for the area's investmentpotential. And so, in 1904, "Cliff" became the town's suffix – a better reflection of the area's scenicattributes. Every summer, the citizens of Ayer's Cliff hold a colossal fair at their county fairgrounds – one ofthe oldest such events in the region. Music can still be heard from one of Quebec's few remaining publicbandstands. The Cliff is also a great access point to Lake Massawippi – Abenaki for "lake of deep water."

It seems that Algonquins tilled the soil of Barnston Township between 1300 and 1680. These were followed bythe Abenakis and later by Irish Loyalists, while the Francophone wave began around 1850 after theconstruction of the railway.While the tracks did not run through town, the railway was responsible for an influxof Francophones to the Coaticook MRC.Today, residents live in the hamlets of Way's Mills and Kingscroft, whichmake up Barnston-West since 1946. An American tweed and flannel manufacturer, L.S.Way, arrived in 1808,leaving his name to the village that crosses the Niger River and which can be found along Holmes Road. Thehamlet of Kingscroft was named after Ira King, an innkeeper who set up his establishment in 1810. In effect,Kingscroft signifies “paddock, King's pasture.” Apart from the eight bridges that cross the Niger, the area’smain attractions are a United Church (1881), the Epiphany Church (1888), the Holmes round barn (1907),and a fire station equipped with a tower used for drying hoses (1952).

For years regarded as the biggest town in Missisquoi County, Bedford (1890) is located close to the Vermontborder. The first settlers arrived in 1804 and by 1860, the village had 400 citizens. At the end of the19th century, Bedford was a significant centre for commerce where one could find a railway station, retailstores, agricultural businesses, the offices of the Bedford Times newspaper, a subsidiary of the Exchange Bank,an office of the Dominion Telegraph Company, a tannery, several manufacturers and a foundry. The Anglican(1834), United (1871) and Catholic (1910) churches and a number of splendidly preserved residences are thepride of both English and French residents. The Meules trail, along with the Centre d'interprétation de la rivièreaux Brochets, allows an exceptional view of the downtown area. New since 2005: A heritage walking trailclose to the downtown core allows visitors to discover the heritage and architectural character of a dozenhomes and businesses.

Once known as Peasley Corner, Bolton Centre and South Bolton merged in 1876 to become East Bolton.Even its Francophone citizens refer to themselves as East Boltoners! Until the end of the 19th century, thearea saw an era of copper mining. South Bolton, formerly Rexford's Corner, is distinguished by heritagehomes and a former school that dates back to 1832. Visitors can also see Holy Trinity Anglican Church, built in1860. The village of Kimbolton became Bolton Centre in 1868. Twenty years later, there were 200 inhabitantsin the municipality, and you can still admire their buildings of yesteryear: the United Church (1879),St. Patrick's Anglican Church (1875), and the town hall (1867).

The municipality of West Bolton occupies the western part of Bolton Township, close to Brome Lake. Establishedin 1876 with the municipality of East Bolton, it was the largest population centre in the Township and one ofthe first towns in the area. Its name was chosen in memory of Harry, sixth and last Duke of Bolton. BeforeBolton, the village bore a succession of other names – French Church, recalling a church built by the firstgroup of French colonists to settle there, and Duboyce's, the name of the first inhabitant. This part of BoltonTownship was first colonized by Loyalists, who were joined by French Canadians between 1830 and 1840.Attraction: Rallyes Découvertes, see page 75

At the end of the 18th century, Joseph Bouchettesurveyed the north section of Stukely Township, whichbecame the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours in1840. The British Crown distributed lots to theProtestant clergy, then to militiamen who werereleased after the war of 1812-1815, and finally toFrench Canadians from Acadia and the Montrealsuburbs. In 1961 they adopted the name Bonsecours.Today, their livelihood centres largely on a quartz mine– the Mine Cristal – the only one in Canada and theseventh largest mine in the world.Attraction: Mine Cristal Québec, see page 75

Founded in 1855, the municipality of Brigham is westof Cowansville and close to Bromont. Its name becameAdamsville in 1961, in honour of George Adams,owner of the land on which the church was founded in1873. In 1980, there was a further name-change infavour of Brigham – this time to pay homage toErratus Oakley Brigham, owner of the town's largestbusiness (a brick factory) throughout the mid-19thcentury. The Brigham area also contains two coveredbridges, one of which was totally restored in 2001. Besure to visit the neo-Renaissance Brigham Manor(1865), as well as Brigham United Church (1872). Twolocal vineyards should also be mentioned, as well asexotic animals, a blueberry field, sugar shacks andnumerous historical homes dating from 1865 through 1890. Living in a mainly pastoral agricultural setting,Brigham residents also benefit from excellent local farmers' markets.

The municipality of Brome was created in 1923. Since 1799, it has been growing and changing along bothsides of the Stage Coach Road – at the time, a popular coach route. Its name comes from a village in theEnglish county of Suffolk. The Brome County Agricultural Society is the oldest agricultural society in Canada.Its popular annual fair preserves a very typical aspect of the Eastern Townships.

The modern history of Bromont started at the end of the 18th century, with the arrival of the Loyalists. Laterenhanced by Francophone and Irish settlers, this community flourished in harmony. The year 1964 marks thefounding of the town of Bromont. At the time, the founding family, the Désourdys, planned the town’sdevelopment along two major axes: a tourism sector and a high-technology industrial sector. The dynamic natureof this town over the past 40 years has significantly contributed to the rapid expansion of its industrial, sports,cultural, and tourism sectors. Bromont has an international reputation and welcomes visitors, sports enthusiastsand athletes at its first-class facilities year round. In addition to the Ski Bromont centre, the largest lit skiingfacility in North America that converts into a water park and mountain bike trail site during the summer, Bromontresidents are fortunate to have their own airport, excellent lodgings, renowned health centres, camping, severalexcellent golf courses, a bike path that joins the Route Verte, an Olympic velodrome, equestrian centres includingan Olympic equestrian park, and hiking and equestrian trails. Each year, Bromont hosts unique events in Quebec:the Chocolate Festival, the International Bromont (horse jumping competition), Bromont en Art, and majorcycling competitions throughout the summer. Tourists will enjoy the Carrefour Champêtre with its manyboutiques as well as the old-fashioned charm of Shefford Street and its businesses, heritage trail, restaurants andterraces, chocolate museum, art galleries and antique shops.Attractions: Musée du chocolat (chocolate museum), Ski Bromont Water Park, see page 75

Accessible by Routes 108 and 255, the heart of the village of Buryboasts a number of residences featuring a variety of architecturalstyles influenced by the different cultures of the people whocleared the township’s land in 1836. Bury’s first settlers camefrom England’s rural regions of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent, andfrom the northern United States.After 1837, a few Gaelic familiesfrom the Isles of Lewis and Lochbroom settled in the region. Thetown of Bury was founded in 1855. Small businesses of the timewere sustained by the presence of the railroad and forestry. Thelatter, with agriculture, shaped Bury’s modern-day economy.

To reach the border community of Chartierville, take scenicRoute 257 South. Prior to its founding in 1870 by colonistsfrom Saint-Hyacinthe, gold-seekers flocked to the area. Thispatch of land, 139 km square and 505 metres in altitude, isone of the highest regions in Quebec – the 'El Dorado' ofthe Eastern Townships still glitters with the natural, wildriches of the surrounding countryside – and its famed opticalphenomenon, the “Magnetic Hill.” In the orange glow ofsunset, you may catch a glimpse of the region's many deeror the occasional majestic moose.Attraction: Gold Mine Interpretation Centre, see page 75

Immigrants from a scattering of locales in the British Isles arrived to clear the land along the St. Francis Riverat the end of the 18th century. It is believed that they chose the name Cleveland to honour the Clevelandfamily, which included several notable figures in the municipality at the time. With the arrival of the railwayin 1850, the town's population increased significantly and its economy diversified to include sawmills,potassium processing, a forge, and copper, slate and chromate mines.

Its history as “the Pearl of the Townships” began in the 18th century when Richard Baldwin Sr. clearedland in the Baldwin region and continued along the Koatikeku River, which in Abenaki means “river ofthe pinelands.” From 1830 onward, community life in Coaticook improved remarkably, thanks to thecombined efforts of several pioneer families – the Bucklands, Parkhursts, Clevelands, Ingrahams, Pages andSleepers. The municipality was incorporated in 1864, and with the arrival of the St. Lawrence and AtlanticRailroad in 1852 and the Grand Trunk in 1854, the town experienced major growth.With the amalgamationof Barnston Township and Barford in 1999, Coaticook considerably expanded its territory. The 108 farmssituated on its territory, 66 of which are dairy, make Coaticook a major player in Quebec's dairy production.The former hamlet of Baldwin offers a variety of outdoor activities, be it the Parc Découverte nature deBaldwin or the trails at Mount Pinnacle which offers a magnificent view of Lake Lyster. The recommendedheritage tours are an interesting way to enjoy the town's rich architecture: the Barnston Baptist Church

Birthplace of Louis Stephen Saint-Laurent, Canada's Prime Minister from 1948 to 1957, the municipality of Comptonis an essential stop on any tour of the region.After the merger of ComptonTownship and ComptonVillage (1994)and the further amalgamation with Compton Station (1999), this is the second largest municipality in the area.In 1893, British officers, convinced of the agricultural possibilities offered by this land, named it for a town in thecounty of Surrey, England. The village became more of an economic centre with the expansion of the railwayaround 1850, and French Canadians began to arrive around 1871. The residents of Compton built a number ofprestigious institutions around 1874, including the Ladies' College and the St-Laurent's quaint general store andresidence, now classified as national historic sites.The area around the town also abounds with historical wealth:the Drouin (1897) covered bridge built using the King Post method, and the Haseltine family sawmill, rebuilt in1961 on the road to the picturesque village of Moe's River (1832). Roadside crosses, cemeteries, and the Baptist(1867) and Anglican (1887) churches also speak of Anglophone and Francophone cohabitation and the richvariety of architecture that resulted.

The town of Cookshire-Eaton is the result of merger of the Town ofCookshire, the Municipality of Eaton, including Sawyerville. With apopulation of 5,114, it is the largest municipality in the Haut-Saint-François region with 298 km2 of beautiful hamlets and criss-crossingscenic roads.Cookshire itself was founded by Loyalists in 1892, following the Abenakiswho had once set seasonal camps there. The town drew its name fromCaptain John Cook, its first colonist who, in 1795, acquired hundreds ofhectares of land for agricultural purposes. The architecture of severalresidences and particularly that of St. Peters Anglican Church demonstratea blend of American and Anglo-Saxon architecture. Converted into amedical clinic, the former home of senator John Henry Pope, a pioneerand the founder of Canadian Pacific, is a jewel in our heritage.Taking thescenic route and the Loyalists' Circuit, towards East Angus, you'll find theJohn Cook covered bridge, built on the former riverbed of the EatonRiver. To the west is Johnville where you'll find the Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix church and, a few kilometres from the village, the trails of the Parc écoforestier, where you can explore arare ecosystem with remarkable diversity. Route 253 towards Sawyerville passes through Eaton Corner, acharming village recognized as the oldest town in the Townships. Agriculture and forestry dominate the localeconomy. Several buildings are classified as historical monuments; note the church dating back to 1840-41 thatnow houses the Musée de la Société d'histoire du comté de Compton and the former Eaton Academy. The areais also home to a delightful and well-preserved home of classical architecture and with a notable enclosed balcony,in which Canada's first operation under anesthetic took place. Still on the 253, you'll arrive in Sawyerville, apicturesque Haut-Saint-François village. It was named for Josiah Sawyer, who left his home in Missisquoi Bay in1792 to re-establish himself in the “Townships.”After seven years of hard work, this American trailblazer beganto see his work shaping the future of the Townships. Today, local entrepreneurs rely on the long-time mainstaysof sawmills and wood transformation. Two small churches – one Baptist, the other Anglican – are fellowwitnesses to the past. The nearby McDermott covered bridge, spanning the falls of the North Eaton River, is alsoworth a visit. In the municipality one could also find the hamlets of Birchton, Bulwer and Sand Hill.Attraction: Musée de la Société d'histoire du comté de Compton (Compton County Historical Society Museum),see page 76

The residents of Courcelles, less than two kilometres southof Route 108, take the environment, culture and heritageto heart. In 1865, Pierre Morin built the first log damacross the Bluets River to drive a flour- and sawmill. AQuébec Central railway station was built nearby in 1895,bringing economic growth to the town and its mill. Thetown itself stretched along both sides of the Bluets River.In 1903 a church was built a distance from the town’smain street, creating two central places around whichtown life was focused. Restored in 2003, the Bernier Millhas become a cultural and tourist centre that offersexhibitions as well as educational and art programs. Outside,a lookout provides a view of the dam, restored in 1998.Attraction: Moulin Bernier (Bernier Mill), see page 76

A city with 14 bridges, Cowansville is the largest municipality of the Brome-Missisquoi region and was originallyknown as Nelsonville (1805-1875). Cowansville takes its name from Peter Cowan, a Scot and influentialbusinessman. The village incorporated in 1876 and became a town in 1931. In 1964, Cowansville annexed thevillage of Sweetsburg. A deep Loyalist influence is reflected in several splendid buildings, including the opulent,Victorian-style houses that border Principale and Du Sud Streets. One such building is the Bruck House (1875)located at 225 Principale St. It received an honorary certificate from the Conseil des monuments et sites duQuébec in 2005 and currently houses a museum featuring a permanent collection that includes a painting by A.Y.Jackson of the Group of Seven as well as several works by artists from the Beaver Hall Hill Group. This house wasoriginally the Eastern Townships Bank and the residence of William F. Vilas, a noted industrialist of his era – Vilasfurniture is still sought and highly valued overseas and across North America. On Bell Street, in the western partof town, the Freeport covered bridge, built in an elaborate Town style, dates from 1870 and spans the YamaskaRiver. On December 3, 1944, a large fire broke out on the main street and obliterated a good part of the businessdistrict on both sides.A historical fresco created by visual artists now illustrates this lost sector of Principale Street.A portion of the Yamaska River became Davignon Lake in 1965; it supplies the town with drinking water andprovides a nature centre and beach for residents and visitors alike. The new Nelsonville Park offers a magnificentview of the river and of Nesbitt bridge, which was built in 1930. Once darkness falls, lights permit a view of theremnants of the old flour mill built in 1837.

Just a few steps from the American border, on a promontory close to Cushing Falls, Dixville has alwaysbenefited from a great location. That's what convinced Richard Baldwin Jr. to found this village in 1874,calling it Drew's Mills, after the Drew family. An employee of the Grand Trunk rail shipping company and aBarnston pioneer, Baldwin ultimately left his nickname – Uncle Dick – as inspiration for the name of themunicipality, which merged with Saint-Mathieu in 1995.Apart from remains of the sawmill and hydroelectricdam, local residents appreciate the simplicity of their varied churches – the Baptist (formerly Methodist)Church (1869), St. Paul's Church (1923), St. Cuthbert Anglican Church (1884), and the Saint-Matthieu (1920)and Sainte-Suzanne-de-Stanhope (1914) Catholic churches.

Dudswell was initially made a township around the year 1865 by the family of John Bishop. Registered as amunicipality since 1895, it includes the towns of Bishopton (1912) and Marbleton (1895), the latter nominatedin 2001 by theAssociation des plus beaux villages du Québec (Quebec's Most Beautiful TownsAssociation). Bothlie within the hollow of a vast mountainous region. Mirror and Silver lakes and the Dudswell Forêt Habitéewalking trails (10 km) are the pride of local residents. The Maison de la Culture features a country-style boutique,an art gallery and the Louis-Émile-Beauregard collection, an exhibit of 64 wood carvings illustrating scenes fromrural life in the 1920s through 1940s. From the Maison de la Culture, you can admire the stately Victorian andvernacular architecture of local houses along a heritage circuit. The Dudswell economy has developed quickly,thanks to its dynamic population and the Graymont Company – a highly regarded lime processor in operationsince 1824. Visitors can discover the many facets of limestone mining in Dudswell with a visit to the Maison deLime Ridge and the Jardins du mineur (lime interpretation centre).Attractions: La Poterie de Dudswell (Dudswell Pottery), Maison de la culture de Dudswell (Cultural Centre),La vieille forge de Dudswell (ironworks interpretation centre), see page 76

Dunham was the first proclaimed Township in the area in 1796, and the first to be officially established inLower Canada. The Township municipality was set up in 1845, and the village municipality in 1867, whichamalgamated in 1971 to form the town of Dunham. The first settlers arrived in about 1820. Dunham tookits name in honour of Sir Thomas Dunn, born in England and oneof the 35 concession-owners in the Township in 1796. The townof Dunham is typical of the Loyalist era, with many brick and stonehouses bordering Rue Principale – some over 150 years old. Notethe presence of three churches: the neo-classical United Church(1847), the Anglican All Saints Church (1849) with an amazingfacade and trim of cut stone, and the Sainte-Croix CatholicChurch (1875) with its wood siding, located at the peak of therise to the south. The birthplace of Quebec wine production,Dunham invites you to the famed “Wine Route” to discover itsvineyards and vintners' skill. The grape harvest is also appleseason – Dunham's beauty includes orchards, cider-houses, sugarshacks, berry farms, corn on the cob, and charming hobby farms.Attraction: La Ferme Chiapputo (Chiaputto Farm), see page 77

Called “the Townships’ Fir Plantation” because of its rich coniferous forests, East Angus was founded in 1882and named for William Angus, the proud Scottish industrialist who launched the village’s economic future bybuilding a pulp and paper factory and sawmill on the banks of the St. Francis River. Even today, the town’seconomic engine is fueled by the paper industry, particularly the Cascades plants. The recently restored VieilleGare du Papier houses two exhibits: one on the history of East Angus and the other on the history of papermaking. The Parc des Deux-Rivières, with its many trails spread over a 27-hectare area, features exceptionalflora and fauna and breath-taking landscapes.

The history of the municipality of this village began on March 11, 1914 whenWilliam Elwin Hall, representingEast Farnham Township, tabled a petition to the council of mayors requesting that a portion of FarnhamTownship be officially recognized as a village. On August 27, 1914, the request and report were approvedwithout amendments, thus creating the “Municipality of the village of the east part of Farnham Township.”A small parcel was merged with the Town of Cowansville in 1990. Its residents are known as East Farnhamians.

East Hereford's enchanting surroundings have been welltraveled:Abenakis, Loyalists, French Canadians and smugglershave all contributed to its history. In the heart of theAppalachians, near an 864-metre mountain and borderingthe Hall River (the official border with New Hampshire), EastHereford has been associated since 1855 with HerefordTownship, a name that comes from Wales. As a borderterritory, East Hereford has a history of shady traffic – whichmay explain Al Capone's stay at the local hotel. Since 1980,

residents have shown their love of nature through environmentalism. Mount Hereford and Donat Falls,accessible from the Neil-Tillotson Trail, mountain bike trails, the “Sapins et merveilles” interpretation centre,and the Piscicole des Bobines farm are all examples of local interests.

The municipalities of Stukely and Eastman merged on May 30, 2001, becoming simply Eastman.Officially recognized in 1888, this town bore the names of both Bolton Forest (1865) and Dingman's Flats(1868) before taking Eastman in honour of a pioneer in Bolton Township, John Eastman. The town's creationtook place during the prosperous copper mining era of the 1850s, but with the closing of the mines in 1880,it was the wood industry – under the aegis of the Eastman Lumber Company – that took up the slack andensured the town's survival. Today, the municipality is a multiple winner of the Villes, Villages et CampagnesFleuris (Flowered Cities, Towns and Countryside) award, and attracts attention for its recreation and touristactivities. As well as a renowned health centre and resort and the Théâtre de la Marjolaine summer theatre,it also hosts the Correspondances d’Eastman, a unique letter-writing festival in early August and a prominentantique show in October.Attractions and activities: Arbre Aventure, Savonnerie des Diligences (soap factory), see page 77

History reveals that Jos Higgins, originally from the United States, first settled the area in 1805. The firstFarnhamians, some being Loyalists, arrived in 1800. In the two centuries that followed, a number of people settledalong the Yamaska River. In 1825, the site of Farnham-Ouest (today Farnham) had only three round log houses.It became a new municipality following its merger with Rainville in March 2000 and attracts visitors interestedin its Loyalist era buildings and the Saint-Romuald Church, containing 34 works by noted Canadian painter OziasLeduc. Older buildings have been preserved, and nowadays Farnham is an industrial and commercial centre activewithin a prosperous farmland region.The town is also known for the nearby presence of a large National Defencetraining base.Attraction: Centre de la nature de Farnham, see page 77

Amalgamated with a number of small villages and townships in 1985, Frelighsburg is a small town hiddenat the foot of Pinnacle Mountain. The original Frelighsburg dates back to 1845 and included the Protestantparish of Saint Armand East. The village takes its name from Dr. Abram Freligh, originally from Clinton inDutchess County, New York. The architectural quality of certain buildings in the village is remarkable: the oldFreligh mill, built in 1839 by one of Abram Freligh's sons, the general store (which offers maple syrup pie),and the Catholic and Anglican churches that loom in the headlands (1883), as well as the Grammar School(1856), town hall (1856), the rectory (1887), the convent (1914) and the Landsberg Store (1879), which laterhoused the oldest insurance company in Canada. In the 1870s, the village already had 300 citizens andnearly 50 houses, the majority built from wood. Visitors can still admire some of them, recognizable by theirLoyalist-influenced two-slope roofs. Adélard Godbout, Quebec Premier in 1936 and from 1939 to 1944, livedand was buried here. Apple orchards continue to figure prominently in the local economy. Craftspeople andartists are numerous, and produce high-quality works. One notable celebration is Festiv'Art, which is held theSaturday and Sunday of Labour Day weekend. This visual arts festival turns the streets of the town into animmense open gallery. Frelighsburg residents are proud of their heritage-laden hometown, considered oneof the most beautiful in Quebec.

The discovery of fluted spear points typical of the latePaleoindian period thrust Frontenac to the forefrontof Quebec archaeology with the confirmation thatnative hunters from the American west were in theregion at the end of the last glacial period, 10,000years ago. Frontenac's more recent history is alsonotable, including the passage on October 19, 1775of theAmerican general Benedict Arnold and some ofhis troops on their way to attack Quebec City. Thelater arrival of Scottish settlers shaped the culturallandscape. The Anglican church of St. John, built in1889 on the 4th range road, as well as the adjoiningcemetery of the same era, are witnesses to theirpassage. Years later, French Canadians joined these early settlers. Frontenac's territory, 222 kilometres square,includes the town of Lac-Mégantic to the south and borders the state of Maine to the east. As well as enjoyingseveral kilometres of lakefront on Lake Mégantic to the west, Frontenac residents enjoy an exceptional body ofwater, Spider (Araignées) Lake, to their south and a magnificent golf course facing the Hautes-Appalachesobservation tower thoughtfully placed where visitors can admire the view. Frontenac's economy is largely basedon forestry and tourism, and it shares with two other municipalities the Joncs lake marsh, one of the largest ofits kind south of the Saint Lawrence River. It is the only municipality with access to hunting and fishing in thezec Louise-Gosford in the Louise Sector, a controlled harvesting area.

Constituted in 1845, Stanstead Township had already appeared 60 years before on a map by Gale andDuberger. The population of the Township was clustered mostly around the border, but one could see, hereand there, small hamlets with interesting names: Fairfax, Cassville, Griffin, Applegrove, Ruiters Corners,Comestock Corners, Glyne Corners, Amy Corners, Ticehurst Corners, Cedarville and Tomifobia. In theTownship, you'll also find the renowned Georgeville, which celebrated its bicentennial in 1997. At the endof the 18th century, Moses Copp and his family built a house to operate a ferry service linking the two sides

Among its numerous attractionsare the loading dock, the general store still in operation, and St. George's Anglican Church (1866),with its lateral tower. Some Greek Revival-style white houses and the Auberge Georgeville (1889) – theoldest in Quebec – warrant a visit as well. At the north entrance to the village, note the Pioneers'Garden, maintained by the Georgeville Historical Society, and Bullock Cemetery, with its low shale walls.There lies Abraham Channel, a town founder who lived to the age of 105! Tucked into the depressionbetween Bunker Hill and crossed by Fitch Stream, the village of Fitch Bay is worth a visit. Less than1 km down Route 247, on Ridgewood Road, you'll find the Narrows covered bridge (1880-81), a Town-typebridge 28 metres in length.

The City of Granby is also proud of its Festival international de la chanson, an annualcompetition celebrating new French-language music, its Centre d’interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin (natureinterpretation centre), its many paved cycling trails which are part of the vast cycling network in SouthernQuebec, its ice ring at Lac Boivin in winter, its 40 city parks, including Parc Daniel-Jonhson, a meeting place thatalso serves as the site of annual summer firework displays during the Saint-Jean celebrations, and an antique carexhibit. Granby is also rich in history, told not only through its built heritage, but also its ancient natural setting.In fact, the City of Granby recently acquired an expanse of valuable green space referred to as the Miner lands,named after one of the city’s founding families. This natural site will now be preserved for eternity.The City of Granby was officially founded in 1859 when the village that had been created next to the YamaskaRiver – where both English and French cultures co-existed – separated from its township of origin. The municipalmerger of January 2007 regrouped the original territory and at the same time, Granby became a new city of60,617 residents.

Like a giant horseshoe surrounding the village of Scotstown, Hampden Township is a true cultural enclave. Itis essentially the result of a large emigration of Scots in 1874, the majority coming from the Isle of Lewis inthe Hebrides. Poor, Gaelic-speaking and Presbyterian, these early residents paid for their dreams with blood,sweat and tears. Today, sheltered in the hollow of Mount Mégantic, they enjoy an exceptional view of thesurrounding landscape. The municipality is close to the Samuel Brisson ecological reserve, where one canobserve birds of several species, wild animals and dense Appalachian forests.

“The tract of land lying within the district of Montreal, bounded by Ascot, east by Compton, south byBarnston and Stanstead, and west by Magog, Little Magog lake and the river by that name. Containing 348lots, it was erected into a township named Hatley, and in part granted March 25th, 1803, to HENRY CULL,and EBENEZER HOVEY and their associates (…)” C. M. Day, History of the Eastern Townships (1869).Following the opening of the townships by the 1792 Proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec:“to such as are desirous to settle on the lands of the Crown in the Province of Lower Canada,” Col. HenryCull and Ebenezer Hovey petitioned for a grant of land which was officially awarded in 1803 in the newTownship of Hatley (named after a village in England). The Township was naturally divided from the north tosouth by Lake Massawippi. The subdivision of the lots was made in 1795 by James Rankin.Long before this date, the good quality of the land was discovered by early settlers who spread the word tofamilies in the neighbouring states such as New Hampshire and Vermont. Settlers began to arrive and settle.It is well known that the first inhabitants near Lake Massawippi were the Algonquin. In her book The Storyof Hatley, Maude Pellerin speaks of the Indians as being friendly with their white neighbours, as there wereno records of raids against the white people, as occurred in other localities.The villages in the original Township of Hatley were the Municipality of the Township of Hatley, the Villageof North Hatley (1897), Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley (1901), Ayer's Cliff (1909), and Hatley (1912). TheMunicipality of the Township of Hatley expanded to the north following the annexing, in 1997, of a part ofAscot. The main attractions in the Municipality of the Township of Hatley are Lake Massawippi, the Montjoyeski resort and the Capelton mines.Attraction: L’Épopée de Capelton, see North Hatley page 79

This town owes its name to the many French Canadians who returned here in 1875, after trying to earn aliving in New England. La Patrie also gained its fame from Trappist monks who attempted to establish amonastery on the Bethlehem range road – in vain. In this scenic area, located on the banks of the SalmonRiver between Scotstown and Chartierville, the forests give way to agriculture – many dairy farms – asawmill, and several businesses dedicated to wood processing. The world-famous Guitabec factorymanufactures top-of-the-line guitars, loved by musicians from Quebec and around the globe.

Created in 1971 following the merger of seven municipalities (Knowlton, West Brome, Foster, Fulford, IronHill, Bondville and East Hill), Lac-Brome surrounds Brome Lake. The name refers to a village in SuffolkCounty, England. Local residents have created a heritage circuit to guide visitors. The elegant Victorian villageof Knowlton, the largest in Lac-Brome, is famous for its Loyalist roots and splendid built heritage. It wasestablished upon the arrival of Colonel Paul Holland Knowlton, who came from Vermont and who built aflourmill in 1836, a sawmill and a store. These establishments quickly became popular and prosperous,transforming Knowlton into a small upper-class village by the end of the 19th century. By 1855, the village,a regional centre for telegraph reception, had a post office and an inn and became the seat of Brome Countygovernment. As early as 1867, vacationers were attracted to Knowlton, already described by the CanadianHandbook Tourist Guide as an exceptional locale. In 1894, Knowlton inaugurated the first free rural publiclibrary in Quebec, the Pettes Library. The splendid, opulent residences built around the lake attracted visitors.Today, the quality and the originality of its restaurants and its gift, craft, and antique shops charm visitors.The centre of the village features a waterfall, to the immense pleasure of those strolling in the calm, naturalsurroundings of Coldbrook Park. Every autumn, a gastronomical event celebrates the world-famous BromeLake duck.

Built on the banks of the Yamaska Riverclose to Highway 10, the small hamlet of Fulford emerged in1858 with the construction of a large tannery. In 1881, theeconomic activity of the village was reinforced with theopening of a sawmill. Two Protestant churches serve thecommunity. Loyalists colonized the village of West Brome veryearly on. McCurdy Street features a variety of older homesfound in the shadow cast by the spire of the Ascension Church(1885).

Although brothers Jean and Godefroy Drolet founded this municipality in 1851, it wasn't officially recognized until1885. One of the town's highlights is the Saint-Samuel Church, which has been the pride of Drolet residents sinceits construction in 1898. Made from unpolished granite hauled from a Saint-Sébastien quarry, it has been namedan official historic monument, which is also the case with the neo-classical rectory, today a private residence, andthe 1906 convent, which now holds a community hall.

The regional capital of the eastern section of the Townships, the town of Lac-Mégantic was created in1907 – long after Malcolm Matheson, a businessman from Lewis Island in England, built his house andopened his store in 1877. Its constitution dates back to the merger of two towns: the village of Mégantic,which was founded in 1885 by two French Canadians, Télesphore Lemay and Antoine Roy; and the villageof Agnes, which was dubbed by Scottish colonists in honour of Sir John A. Macdonald's wife, whoaccompanied the first prime minister of Canada and minister John Henry Pope to inaugurate the last sectionof the International Railway. Twinned with the Quebec Central in 1889, this railway supported Lac-Mégantic's rapid expansion into a ”railway capital.” Your awe will extend far beyond the railway station(a jewel of the past in its own right) into the entire town – a land traveled by Native nations more than12,000 years ago and explored by Samuel de Champlain's associates. A number of buildings in thedowntown core will interest architecture enthusiasts: Sainte-Agnès Church (1913), a Catholic temple in theneo-gothic style, featuring a splendid London stained glass behind the main altar; Saint-Barnabas Church(1892), in neo-Queen-Anne style; the Presbyterian Chapel (1890); and Notre-Dame-de-Fatima Church(1948). Located in the town hall, the Namesokanjik museum houses a collection of different artifacts that willfascinate history lovers. Bordering Lake Megantic, the second largest in the region, Lac-Mégantic is a touristdestination beyond compare thanks to its many lodging facilities and activities.

The Township of Lambton was declared a municipality on April 22, 1847. Alexis Poulin, a resident ofBeauceville, discovered the picturesque site in 1837 while hunting. Poulin traveled all the way to LakeSt-François, marking his route along the way.At the end of the 1830s, British colonists, drawn by nearby lakesSt-François and Lambton, established the municipality there. These founders named it in honour of an EnglishEarl, John George Lambton, Lord of Durham and Governor General of Canada in 1838. The English andFrench-Canadian colonists lived side-by-side, until the English realized the land was not as profitable as theyhad hoped, after which the area became predominantly Francophone. Its first church, built in 1873-74, wasdestroyed by fire on August 22, 1905 – a fire that also claimed the rectory, convent and 32 homes in thevillage. The current church, built in 1905-07 with the grandeur of a cathedral, and the rectory sit proudly inthe centre of the village. Both buildings have been declared heritage sites by the municipality. Lambton'sprosperity springs from agriculture, raw materials and processing, and tourism.Attractions and activities: Parc national de Frontenac (Québec National Park: hiking, cycling, snowshoeing),see page 78

Lawrenceville was colonized by Isaac Lawrence, originally from the village of Canaan in Connecticut, whomoved to this Township with his family in 1794. His son Erastus built both a sawmill and flourmill on anisland – Île du Moulin (Mill Island) – that is now a treasured heritage site with mere traces of the mills. Twohistoric residences have survived: the Victorian-style Island Park House and another more modest home witha two-sloped roof. These homes reflect the communal spirit of the two founding Lawrenceville cultures, whochose the town's name in honour of its founding family.

Between Sherbrooke and Lac-Mégantic, Lingwick Township includes the villages of Sainte-Marguerite andGould. Rich with agricultural land and forests and boasting a great spot for mill construction at the junctionof the Salmon River and Moffat Stream, Gould became this Township's county seat in 1855. The first villageof the Gaelic Townships, this is where the semi-Irish and semi-Scottish founding families of Cowan andHanright chose to live. In 1893, they marked their presence by building the McVetty-McKerry covered

bridge – the longest in the Townships. With its interlaced lateral openings, this covered bridge is the bextexample of the original Town-type trellis structure. The Presbyterian church, general store, Vernacular-stylehomes and three ancestral cemeteries reflect the hamlet of Gould’s Scottish settlement. For your enjoyment,the Centre culturel Oscar Dhui offers concerts and activities that bring the past to life and retell the story oflocal ancestors.

Located at the northern end of Lake Memphremagog, this hamlet flourished in the 19th century thanks tothe contruction of flour, saw and card mills by Ralph Merry III, the founder of Magog. Arriving in the regionaround 1797, he constructed the first dam on the north side of the river, between an island and a stream,where the railway now lies.A born innovator, he created the Magog Manufacturing Company, locating it nearthe bridge linking the two parts of the road that have since borne his name. The town's original name was“Outlet,” as it is located where the lake drains. For the same reason, the parish of Saint-Patrice-de-Magog,founded in 1861, carried the name Saint-Patrice-d'Outlet at the time. Outlet was the official name for manydecades, although Magog started appearing on official documents in 1783. The basis of Outlet's economywas log cutting and driving. Some small businesses complementing the local economy developed, butremained marginal. The opening in 1835 of a stagecoach inn on the Montréal-Sherbrooke corridor easedaccess to Magog and, around 1840, a large number of Irish Catholic immigrants settled on the eastern shoreof the lake. This first half of the 19th century saw the arrival of the municipality's resort industry (hotels,

sailing). In 1850, Outlet became Magog,which was officially incorporated on January28, 1888 as a village, and in 1890 as a town.Hydraulic and hydroelectric power have beenits empowering force through its history. Theeconomic weight and influence of the textileindustry marked the end of the 19th century.The first factory was the Magog Cotton andPrint Company, founded in 1884 by the son-in-law of Ralph Merry, A.H. Moore. Thecompany was sold in 1899 to DominionCotton Mills, and repurchased in 1905 byDominion Textile. Today, it is part of C.S.Brooks Canada. Post-war Magog saw an eraof expansion and modernization that dreweven more businesses. The improvement ofthe road system allowed the development of

a four-season tourist trade that continues to flourish. Magog became a city in autumn 2002 when it mergedwith Magog Township, which covers a large area divided into three districts by two shores of LakeMemphremagog and the Town of Omerville, formerly a parish attached to Magog. The merger increased themunicipality's population to 23,540 residents. In a historical context, this merger appealed to a strong senseof mutual ownership based on over 200 years of sharing and developing a common land. With LakeMemphremagog in the background, surrounded by mountains that stretch over 44.5 km clear to the Vermontborder, it's easy to understand why Magog is called the “treasure chest of the Townships.” Throughout theyear, Magog is alive with sports, cultural events and a wide variety of activities, including the TraverséeInternationale du Lac Memphrémagog swimming event, the Memphrémagog Arts Circuit in the summer, andthe Magog-Orford Grape Harvest Festival. In the summer, you can enjoy water sports, swimming, golf,horseback riding, tennis, cycling and in-line skating. While you're having fun in the water, keep an eye outfor Memphré, a legendary lake creature that has been making waves for over 200 years. Memphré has beenseen over 225 times, with sightings dating back to 1798. A boat cruise will let you appreciate the lake's truesize. You may also be enticed by a stroll through the Baie-de-Magog park, a bike path that connects the cityto Orford Township, a walk along the trails of the Rivière-aux-Cerises marsh or through downtown Magog.In winter, outdoor enthusiasts are thrilled with an array of snow-sports (nearby downhill skiing and cross-country skiing), skating on the ice path that borders Lake Memphremagog, and many snowmobile trails. TheVieux Clocher de Magog, boutiques and art galleries, cafés, terraces and restaurants are here to help youmake the most of your holiday.Attractions and activities: (see also Orford, page 52): Labyrinthe Magog, Vignoble Le Cep d’Argent (vineyard),Les Amis du Marais de la Rivière-aux-Cerises, (Friends of the Marsh), Verger familial C.R.

The municipality of Potton Township, created in 1855, contains the hamlets of Highwater (1927), Dunkin(1796), Knowlton Landing (1821), Vale Perkins (1873) and Mansonville (1811); the latter was theTownship's main locale, named for founder Robert Manson. Bordered by Lake Memphremagog, it is wellsituated among the mountains Owl's Head, Sugar Loaf, Pevee and Hawks. Its name springs from a town inBedfordshire, England. The arrival in the area of British army officer Henry Ruiter began the area'scolonization. Vale Perkins was named for its builder, Samuel Perkins, and features a large flat rock on whichone can find petroglyphs (writings engraved in the stone) that seem to draw from Ogham, an ancient Celticscript. Several petroglyphs and cairns or stone mounds can be found in the area, some from up to 2000 years

ago. In the 19th century, Highwater, located at the junction of two arms of the Missisquoi River, served mainlyas a railway stop for the Southeastern Railway from Montreal to Boston. Another railroad crossed Potton,with a station built at Mansonville for Orford Mountain railway trains and, later, those of Canadian Pacific.Potton Township distinguishes itself both by its cultural and religious diversity – over 20 nationalities havecontributed to its population, a fact celebrated every summer since 1992 with the Multicultural Festival,starting on the second Saturday in August. The Arts Tour and Circuit also offer tourists an opportunity to visitlocal artists' workshops. Another area worth seeing – between Knowlton Landing and Vale Perkins – isVoroktha, where you'll find the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Ukranian Catholic Church. Not far away, via Aéroport andMonastère Roads, is the charming Russian Orthodox Church monastery with its onion-bulb roof like those atthe Kremlin. Be sure to note its cemetery with Cryllic inscriptions on the headstones (please be respectful ofthe site since it is not a tourist attraction and belongs to a private community). In Mansonville, at the end ofBellevue Road, is the Province Hill covered bridge, built in the Town style in 1896. On Province Hill Road isan ancient cemetery. On Principale Street, you can find the Reilly House community centre; St. Paul's AnglicanChurch (1902), the United Church (1893) a Baptist church (1900), and Saint-Cajetan Catholic Church (1950)are also of interest.Attractions and activities: Station touristique Owl’s Head (skiing, golf, hiking, etc.), see page 79

There are three possible explanations for Maricourt's name, made official in 1961. The one preferred byresidents hearkens back to the Sieur de Maricourt, the brother of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville (1661-1706)who received command over Hudson's Bay from the Governor General of New France, Louis de Frontenac,in 1690. Given the Irish origin of the town's builders, it could also refer to a village in Cambridgeshire,England. It could also conceivably refer to Charles Loftus, first Marquis of Ely and Canada's PostmasterGeneral from 1789 to 1806. This is because the municipality once carried the name of Ste-Mary-d'Ely, avillage in the township of Ely-Partie-Nord, in the territory of Valcourt and close to the Ulverton River. TheSainte-Marie d'Ely church (1889) at the centre of the village evokes this 19th-century heritage.

First set up as a township, Marston was surveyed in 1792 when Eastern Quebec was initially divided.Remaining uninhabited until 1856, the township took its name from a village in Yorkshire, England. It rapidlybecame a refuge for Loyalist immigrants, who established themselves in 1859 on the Drum-A-Vack road –in Gaelic, 'on both sides of the hill.' After receiving free lots from the government, four Lingwick colonistscleared an area in the township. In 1861, the census counted 100 inhabitants, but they had to wait until1880 for a parish to be established. On Spring Hill Road, one can find the Echo Vale Cemetery, the finalresting place of the McLeod, Rory, Murdo and McIver pioneer families. Marston now enjoys a marina at BaieVictoria. In 2008, a new summer theatre opened its doors in the former Marston church.

Martinville residents celebrated their centennial in 1996 by inaugurating Parc du Vieux Moulin. Located close to thedam that once powered the flourmill and sawmill of yesteryear, the park commemorates the town’s foundingpioneer, a Loyalist named Martin. The landscape features an artificial pond that welcomes birds (Canada geese)every autumn. The local economy centres around natural resources (gravel pits, wood, plantations), dairy, pork andbeef farming, a machine shop, a hazelnut necklace manufacturer, and an organic fruit and vegetable distributor.

The general allure of Melbourne Township, with its 19th-century brick houses sporting slate roofs and anAmerican vernacular style, betrays the origin of its first pioneers. Arriving around 1799, they established theparish in 1855 and founded the village of Melbourne, the name of an English town in both Derbyshire andHampshire, in 1860. Arriving from New England, where they had felt the sting of the Irish Famine, they cameto take their chances in this territory because land was still available, accessible, and fertile. They opened theirfirst school in 1820 and built the Congregationalist St.Andrew's Church – now a historic monument admiredby all. The church was featured in an illustration on every Canadian two-dollar bill printed from 1954 to1975. The Melbourne Ridge United Church (1858) and the Richmond County Historical Society Museum arealso worth a visit. You might find works by portraitist Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960), one ofCanada's most celebrated artists and an Upper Melbourne native.Attraction: Musée de la Société d’histoire du comté de Richmond (County Historical Society Museum), see page 79

Milan made its name as a railway stop – a loading point for freshly sawn wood. The construction of a newrail line between Scotstown and Cookshire, at the junction of the three townships of Hampden,Whitton andMarston, accelerated its growth in 1877. The Gisla cemetery, set back behind the village, is the final restingplace of the legendary outlaw Donald Morrison. Morrison was known as the Megantic Outlaw – and it wason the main street in Megantic that he fatally shot Constable Jack Warren, sent to arrest him for arson andattempted murder. Residents are proud of their local businesses, amongst them the Meunerie Milanaise andMaison Usinex.

Between Stornoway and Lac-Mégantic where the road once crossed the railway, you'll find the municipality ofNantes, also known as Spring Hill. Around 1856, Scottish colonists McRae, Murdo and Murray set up theirmakeshift camp on this site. Known by the Gaelic name Drum-A-Vack, these camps formed the base of a colonybolstered by French-Canadian families in 1905. A railway station and post office were added in 1879 and in1898, two sawmills, two telegraph stations and two general stores became part of the town. Nantes benefitsfrom Lakes Whitton, McKenzie and Orignal – all close by and strikingly clean and clear. The citizens of Nantesare proud of their Christmas tree farms, most of which supply American homes with their annual traditions.

The Municipality of the Township of Newport was founded in 1801. In spite of strong opposition, it merged withCookshire-Eaton on January 1, 2003 but regained its autonomy on January 1, 2006. However, the Quebecdepartment of municipal affairs and regions categorically refused to allow it to use the term “township” in itsname so it became the Municipality of Newport. The sectors that make up the municipality include Island Brook,Lawrence, Randboro and Saint-Mathias-de-Bonneterre. The St. Lawrence Anglican Church, built in 1940, remindsus of the colonial period. Residents mainly work in the fields of agriculture and forestry. Some people work inneighbouring villages.

One of the jewels of the Townships, North Hatley was founded in 1897 at the northern tip of LakeMassawippi. Like neighbouring Hatley, the region developed thanks to the efforts of immigrants whoobtained concessions in Lower Canada through the Company of Associates. Following the arrival of

immigrants Henry Cull and Ebenezer Hovey from the United States in 1793, Japhet Le Baron settled on thispicturesque site. Originally, colonists lived on agriculture, wood harvesting, and the production of potash,which was sold to soap manufacturers. But the charm of the place made it attractive to rich American tourists,and in 1880, the construction of a rail line consolidated its reputation as a resort destination. Thanks to itsgrowing fame, it received over 2000 visitors at the beginning of the 20th century, lodged in six hotels and250 villas. Over the years, luxurious and century-old residences have been converted into charming hotels,bed and breakfasts and artists' studios. Other buildings have become art galleries, shops, cafés andrestaurants, all of which illustrate the welcoming quality that makes this village a choice vacation spot andresidence for prominent people from around the world. Since 1982, at the end of each spring, the Festivaldu Lac Massawippi has offered music lovers varied recitals in Sainte-Elizabeth Church (1913), in addition toopen-air concerts every Sunday through the summer in Dreamland Park. The St. Barnabas Anglican Church(1894), the Unitarian Universalist Church (1895) and the former Baptist – now United – Church (1908) areall well worth a visit. The presence of the lake gives the village a natural amphitheatre shape, which has beenprotected by a 1986 declaration designating part of the village an official heritage site.Attraction and activities: Randonnées J.

In 1801, Stanbridge Township became the property of James McGill, a Montreal merchant and founder ofMcGill University. Upon his death, the Township, 31,000 acres in size, was left to his inheritors, theDesRivières family. Its growth really began in 1840, when François-Guillaume and Henri DesRivières settledthere – their first task being the construction of Malmaison Manor in 1841. In 1842, they built a dam on theriver; in 1843 the dam powered two mills and the first covered bridge was built. The wood industry elevatedthe region's prosperity, and the government of Lower Canada planned and built the Grande-Ligne Road. Thecommunity's growth was substantial. In 1848, the municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Anges-de-Stanbridgewas formed, and Henri DesRivières was named its first mayor and the first prefect of the incorporatedMissisquoi County.

Notre-Dame des Bois is one of the highest villages in terms of altitude in Quebec. Its waterways flow east into theArnold River and west into the Salmon River. The first settlers were gold prospectors who were quickly replaced byFrench-Canadian colonists, many of whom had emigrated to the United States. A few arrived from France andBelgium. In 1871, François-Xavier Dufresne arrived, clear-cut three acres of land on lot no. 16 of the sixth rangeand established a blacksmith shop on lot no. 15. Considered the village’s founder, P. U.

Incorporated in 1932, this municipality drew its name from British immigrant Isaac Ogden, a Loyalist whoobtained much of the eastern portion of Stanstead Township in 1798. Touching the American border to thesouth and partly stretched along Lake Memphremagog, this Township has grown through a series ofamalgamations with communities such as Graniteville, Tomifobia and Griffin. Graniteville boasts the largestgranite quarry in Canada. Extracted here since 1885, its granite covers some important buildings acrossCanada, such as the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac abbey on Lake Memphremagog and the Sun Life building inMontreal. In town, you'll also find the United Church (1896) with its granite foundations, ledge supports, anda wooden roof with pointed vaults. Formerly called Smith's Mills, Tomifobia contains a number of millsconnected to local foresting operations. Travelling Route 247 from north to south, you'll pass through twotree tunnels – one at Griffin and the other at Applegrove, close to the covered bridge (1881) at the FitchBay isthmus.

The municipality of Orford Township – created in 1855 – is named after a village in Suffolk County,England. While the name can still be found as Oxford on some maps, Orford was established in 1831 toidentify the lake, the municipality and the mountain. For a long time, the area remained relativelyunoccupied, because its mountainous geography was unsuitable for cultivation. Today, residents will tellyou they've adapted to the rhythm of the mountain, the lake, the winds and the seasons.

Arriving from Vermont, Racine's pioneers chose thearea because of its rich soil. Louis-ThéophileDescarries cleared a part of East Ely Township,opened in 1801 to Scottish immigrants, who werefollowed by French Canadians after 1852. IsaacGreenwood, later changed to Boisvert, built thefirst sawmill in 1825 to provide lumber for towns-peoples' homes. The 1912-founded municipalitytook its name from the first bishop of theSherbrooke diocese, Mgr. Racine, who held the postfrom 1874 until his death in 1893. Consecratedin 1906, the Sainte-Théophile-de-Racine CatholicChurch, with its huge grey stones, bears witnessto the era.

The municipality was named Richmond in honour of the Governor General of the colony, Charles Lennox, thefourth Duke of Richmond. A first contingent of colonists from New England and the Richelieu Valley settledalong the St. Francis River at the turn of the 19th century. The economy gained steam with the arrival of theSt. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway (1852), Quebec and Richmond Railway (1854), Grand Trunk Railway(1921) and finally Canadian National (1923) – but the economic crisis of the 1930s prompted the closure ofseveral rail lines. That slack was taken up by the industrial sector, and the people of Richmond began workingin textile, shoe and rubber plants. Among the most prestigious older buildings is the former railway station(1883), the Richmond Arts Centre located in the former St. Patrick Convent (1884), and the Sainte-BibianeRoman Catholic Church (1880). Saint-Paul's French Presbyterian church, home to the Slate Interpretation Centre,and the Melbourne Cemetery are also quite interesting.

A township in England called Roxton inspired the name RoxtonPond, established as a parish (1875). In 1886, a portion of theparish separated to form the municipality of the village and inDecember 1997 to form the new municipality of Roxton Pond. Inaddition to the presence of a large Francophone Baptist community inthe village, local history has been marked by the development of a strongtool-making industry. It began in 1865, when Sam Dalpé bought Louisand Paul Payan's furniture store for $1300, which specialized in theproduction of wood trying-planes. Homes merrily decorated with friezesand gingerbread recall Roxton Pond's past as the largest tool-producingcentre in Canada.Attraction: Zoo et refuge d’oiseaux exotiques Icare (Exotic Bird Zoo),see page 80

A picturesque village close to Mount Ham, Saint-Adrien holds some fascinating architecture, such as the1911 rectory and church. Located 20 km east of Asbestos on Route 216, it occupies a vast yet sparselypopulated territory. From 1879, it was known as the municipality of the south-west township of Ham, but in1960 adopted Saint-Adrien to match the names used by the postal service and school board since itsfounding in 1878.

The Municipality of Saint-Alphonse was called Hungerford Mills from 1855 to 1874. Historically, themunicipality was founded in 1890 under the name of Parish of Saint-Alphonse. The municipality becameSaint-Alphonse-de-Granby in October 2008. The original vocation of the area was primarily agricultural.Today, residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors work hand-in-hand to offer a varietyof products.

Saint-Armand came into being in 1999 as a result of the merger of St-Armand and Philipsburg. Locatednortheast of Lake Champlain bordering Missisquoi Bay, the hamlet of Philipsburg is the oldest populated sitein the region (1784). In 1788, George Titemore, from the State of New York, settled in the area. Pigeon Hillwas first known as Sagerfield, but was renamed due to the impressive number of pigeons found there. Dutch-American families from Duchess County in New York State populated this area. Officially formed in 1855,attestations date back to 1834 under the name of Saint Armand West. Local residents enjoy their charmingsurroundings, with buildings from the 19th century. In the public square, a former railway station wasconverted and renovated. The Edoin covered bridge (1845) is another point of interest.

The foundation of Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn began in 1880. Under the push for Francophone colonization,the French of Bretagne and Vendée established themselves inWoburn Township, at the centre of the Channaycolony. On the recommendation of Bishop Antoine Racine of the Sherbrooke Diocese and president of theSociété de Colonisation de la Cité de Sherbrooke, they built a mission and parish, which was christened in

1898 with its current name to honour both a patron saint and a benefactor, Lady Augustine Duval. Locatedsouth of Lake Megantic and east of Notre-Dame-des-Bois, the municipality is one of the entry points to theUnited States. It was established in a wooded area at the foot of Mount Gosford, an 1,193-metre peak whichadds to the town's unique character.

Mainly French-Canadian colonists began arriving here after 1880. Due to the richness of the local soil, theynamed the area Greenshields after a notable Danville resident. In 1891, a parish was founded. It was namedSaint-Claude after Reverend Claude, who in the 17th century lived in the monastery of St. Eugendus in Juraand was mistakenly thought to be the Bishop of Besançon. After the school, chapel and rectory burnt downin 1902, the residents built a new Roman-style church from stone. Of interest: this town has a herd of bison.

This pretty little town, located close to Sherbrooke and directly accessed via Highway 55 (J.-A. Bombardier)offers an enchanting country landscape. The name of the town, founded in 1888, refers to its first FrenchCanadian and Catholic settler, François-Xavier Morin. During the migration period, visitors can observe thegreat snow goose as well as other aquatic birds on Petit Lac St-François. The town is flanked by theshimmering St-Francois River and is ideal for its quality of life, warm townspeople, and its commitment tosustainable development.

Created in 1939, Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton is the evolution of a parish founded in 1851 and canonicallyestablished in 1872.At the time, it had about 100 Catholic residents. Its name pays homage to its first parishpriest, Étienne-Hippolyte Hicks, who resided there from 1823 to 1889. The Bolton part of the name comesfrom the township of the same name established in 1797. The first residents arrived from the Richelieu Valley,and settled in the region around 1820.

At the headwaters of Moe's River, on scenic Route 141 and at the foot of the 864-metre Mount Herefordand the winding road that leads to its summit, Saint-Herménégilde boasts three lakes. Attracting Loyalistland-clearers, later French Canadians and now vacationers, Lakes Wallace, Lippé and Des Français bringrecognition to the mission, established in 1856, with the parish created in 1872. Resulting from the divisionof a Township in 1903, the municipality draws its name from Prince Herménégilde, who Léovigild (the Kingof the Visgoths and Herménégilde's father) persecuted around the year 586 for his Catholic faith. The town's106-year-old neo-Gothic church is worth a visit.

Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge saw its firstcolonists around 1810 – among them, Simonand Peter Stone, giving the area its originalname of Stone Settlement. With a Catholicpresence beginning in 1873, the missionbecame the parish of Saint-Ignace three yearslater, but wasn't made an official municipalityuntil 1889. It draws its name from Saint Ignaceof Antioch, a bishop and martyr of the firstcentury. The Stanbridge part of the nameemphasized its inclusion in the township of thesame name in 1801, as well as recalling anEnglish town in Bedfordshire. Residents areparticularly proud of the charming hamlet ofMystic located nearby. In the 19th century, Mystic was the centre of much industrial activity, due to theconstruction of a foundry and metalworking shop in 1864 by the son of Salomon Walbridge, a native ofCambridge, Vermont. In 1868, a dam built across the Walbridge Stream enhanced the operation. In 1882,the Walbridge family built a spectacular home and an imposing red 12-sided barn – the latter being theprincipal remaining vestige of the Walbridges' mark on the area.

Thanks to American pioneers, Clifton was firstcolonized in 1798. A relic of this settlement, thesmall wooden East Clifton Church has lookedover the valley since it was built in 1835. Thedevelopment of Saint-Isidore d’Auckland in1910 was the result of interest in its denseforests on the part of a company from Torontolooking to extract methanol. Since then, forestry,maple sugaring and agriculture have constitutedthe local economy. In 2001, residents adoptedan objective to become environmentally friendly,emerging as an eco-village offering servicesincluding the Marché de Solidarité (marketoffering local produce), Camping Vert (an eco-friendly campground), and a small farms project.

Between 1840 and 1850, Saint-Joachim residents were mostly Irish and French Canadian settlers who cameto clear and live off the land. The two communities were at odds over the construction of a second Catholicchurch in the village. Through an eventual agreement, the parish was founded in 1858 and the municipalityincorporated in 1884. It took the name Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford, indicating the township to which itbelongs. You'll find it on the scenic route, which leads north to Acton Vale. It provides many spectacularviews, including large numbers of white-tailed deer in spring.

Ham Sud is at the foot of the majestic MountHam, 713 metres high with a 360-degreepanoramic view and 16 km of groomed hikingtrails. Founded by Loyalists in 1851 and madeofficial in 1881, the municipality is namedfor a village in Essex County, England. At thebeginning of the 19th century, it was the maintown of Wolfe County – undoubtedly becauseits Gosford Road connected Quebec to Boston.From this prestigious past, Ham residentshave maintained some buildings including aGothic church.

The first Beauce colonists arrived in 1883, establishing at Saint-Ludger, and the first general meeting of theTown Council of Risborough, part of Marlow, was held on June 4, 1900. The first Town Council meetingfor Southeast Gayhurst and part of Saint-Ludger Village was held on December 12, 1904. Saint-Ludgerseparated from Gayhurst in 1921. Its name was chosen to evoke memories of François-Amable-Ludger, whodrowned in 1876, and Bishop Ludger Têtu, a friend of the area's first missionary. The inside of the church,built in 1901 and enlarged in 1911, has its own special atmosphere. In a neo-Gothic style, it calls attentionto some magnificent gilt-work and decorative sculptures, as well as its transepts – the transverse galleriesthat separate the choir from the nave, forming the arms of a cross. The past is commemorated through theoriginal sawmill on Du Moulin Road, the former general store that now houses an agricultural co-op, andthree roadside crosses scattered amongst the back roads.Agriculture, the maple industry and forestry ensurea strong local economy.

Saint-Malo is the highest municipality in Quebec. At 585 metres, local residents live in an environment offorests, farms, and waterways that supply their livelihood. Every September, they revive the traditions of theirancestors with a Harvest Festival that includes a “country” mass. The parish of Saint-Malo was establishedin 1863 by French Canadians and incorporated as a municipality in 1910.The town's name evokes theWelshmonk Malo, missionary bishop of Brittany, and refers to the homeland of Jacques Cartier, explorer of theNew World.

Established in 1912, the munici-pality of Pike River is mainly knownfor its agricultural community anddairy farms, as well as a highnumber of Swiss, Belgian and Polishimmigrants. Running through town,the Pike River complements threeimpressive institutional buildings:the church (1907), whose structureand striking colour marks thecountryside; the former school(1923) that is now home to thetown hall, and the rectory. Thetown's name springs from an Italianfriar, Pierre of Verona (circa 1205-1252). Pike River is known in Frenchas the Rivière aux Brochets.

The municipality of Saint-Robert-Bellarmin, so named in 1949, was previously known as Sainte-Rufine. Itwas originally a mission built in 1907 by Beauce colonists. In memory of the Italian bishop RobertBellarmino, the Lachance and Tanguay families founded a parish following the detachment of range roads10 and 11 from Saint-Ludger and the Saint-Gédéon main road. The landscape around this region reachesits peak in October, when the sugar bushes (more than 700,000 maple trees tapped) located on landbelonging to the Ministry of Natural Resources and on private properties, take on their brilliant fall colours.Local residents take full advantage of their vast hunting territory and bodies of water: the Étang-Du-Louppond and Lac Émilie.

This is one of the oldest municipalities in the region after Lambton, its neighbour to the north. People fromthe Beauce and from seigneuries founded it in 1854 in the name of Pope Romain, who was Pope in 897 forjust three months. Until the 1960s, this parish took the name of Saint-Romain-de-Winslow, which evokesimages of the second wave of colonists, Scots from Buckinghamshire who arrived in the township. Declaredin 1879, it recalls Joshua Winslow, paymaster for the Canadian troops in 1790 and Receiver General ofLower Canada in 1791. One of the notable attractions here is the Centre d'Interprétation des TracteursAntiques – the only such antique tractor exhibit of its kind.

According to archives, farmers from the Beauce originally populated Saint-Sébastien, founding themunicipality in 1855 and the parish in 1869. An agricultural zone, it spans territory that stretches across alarge plateau, bordered to the southeast by Mount Saint-Sébastien.At 500 metres, Saint-Sébastien is amongthe highest towns in Quebec, and is both the provincial and national “granite capital”. Any doubts of thiswill be cast away when you see the 1889 neo-classical church. The same applies to the cemetery, whichdisplays a number of impressive granite stones. Taking the scenic route to Lac-Mégantic is well worth the

effort. The hiking trails leading to Mount Saint-Sébastien are also worth the trip and the view from the topwill take your breath away! Local citizens take pride in their roots and preserved the Maison Royer, a modestdwelling but one of the area's first buildings.

Saint-Venant is perched in the AppalachianMountains on its own stone balcony,leaning towards New Hampshire andthe Hall River. Immigrants arriving fromthe Richelieu Valley around 1862 chosethis enchanting site. The municipalitiesof Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, Saint-Herménégilde and East Hereford werefirst known as the Municipality ofHereford Township. It was in 1917, afterthe departure of Saint-Herménégilde andEast Hereford, that Saint-Venant-de-Paquette became the municipality of theparish of Saint-Venant-de-Hereford andthen of Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, due tothe fact that the residents were served bythe parish of Saint-Venant-de-Herefordand by the post office located in therailway station of Paquetteville. Thechurch-museum (1877) has its originalvarnished-wood interior intact its uniquearchitecture has earned the nickname“Turret of the Townships.” The CaissePopulaire (1907) was the first such financial institution set rurally in North America.

The municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle developed thanks to the founding of the Sainte-Anne-de-Stukely parish by Irish and Loyalist immigrant families in 1856 – the parish became Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle in 1951. Its name refers to a town in Poitou, France, where there is a large rocky outcrop. Thepeople of Sainte-Anne built a church around their similar rock hill, and dedicated it to Sainte-Anne, motherof the Virgin Mary. Since 1896, every July, pilgrims from all over arrive to climb to the summit, where thereis a grotto, a church, a sanctuary and a roadside cross.

Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley, previously known asKatevale, was founded in 1901. From the squarefacing the parish’s magnificent Catholic churchbuilt in 1908, locals enjoy an exceptional view ofMount Orford and Little Lake Magog. With theconstruction of its chapel in 1868, the mission wasplaced under the protection of St. Catherine ofSienne, an Italian mystic (1347-1380). Thesurname of Hatley recalls its presence in HatleyTownship, proclaimed in 1803. The municipalitywas founded by Loyalists, and grew considerablyafter an influx of Francophone settlers in 1860. In1946, a fire ravaged a good portion of the village.Today, several painters, inspired by the area’slandscapes and the beauty of the surroundings,maintain a strong and long-standing tradition of visual arts. Comediscover the Katevale Marsh, an ornithology centre with beautiful walking trails where everyone can enjoy theview and be serenaded by the many species of birds – to date, more than 228 species have been spotted.

Around 1825, British colonists established themselves at Milton Corner, but were soon replaced by a tide ofmigrating French Canadians. Adventurous settlers arrived from neighbouring parishes, and in 1864 theyfounded the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton, which became the first Catholic parish in the countyand assumed the name of the 1846 mission in Shefford County. Today, local economic life is based on large-scale agriculture (corn, soya) and apple producing – just as it was a century ago. Its proximity to larger townshas encouraged the municipality's urban development.

The pioneer families of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton settled in the area starting in 1870, arriving in force fromSt-Romain and St-Sébastien. Other English colonists decided to settle more along the 10th range road. Atthe base of Mount Sainte-Cécile, to the north of Lac-Mégantic, the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whittonenjoys spectacular surroundings along the banks of the Chaudière River. Jean-Baptiste Verret built its churchin 1901. Local residents still work in the forestry and agricultural industries, as well as maple bushes andsome world-famous granite businesses: Tuiles Grani-Décor and Le Groupe Polycor (Granit Bussière, Tuiles etTranches Polycor), specializing in construction stone and stone intended for residential and commercialsectors (ex.: countertops, flooring, etc.).

Sainte-Edwidge's coat of arms symbolizes local community values and the central place of the church (1865)in everyday life. Loyalists cleared the township, and French Canadians had it sanctioned as a parish in 1865and in 1895, as Sainte-Edwidge-de-Clifton, protected by the pious Duchess Hedwidge of Silesia who livedfrom 1174 to 1243. Between the Moe and Ascot Rivers, the community profits from its dairy- and pork-based economy. The municipality also boasts a fish farm, Les Arpents Verts, and a ripened-cheese farm, LaGermaine and a bio-fermentation plant, Bio Lacto.

Formed in 1921, the Sainte-Sabine parish received its first colonists in 1888 and the canonicalestablishment of its parish in 1889. In 1987, municipal authorities adopted the French term Sabinois todescribe the town's residents.

Founded by Scottish colonists,and with descendents of thefounding families still residingthere, Scotstown was built onthe development of our nationalrailway. The descending SalmonRiver lent itself to the creation of ahydroelectric dam, and convincedowners of Glasgow Canadian Landand Trust Company to set upbusiness and establish a hamletthere in 1872. The municipalityofficially became Scotstown in1892, named in honour of JohnScott, the first manager of thecompany.

What’s more,its irregular topography of hills, valleys and flatterrain offer magnificent vantage points.

Located in the heart of the Eastern Townships, wherethe St. Francis and Magog Rivers meet, Sherbrookebenefits from an enviable geographic position. Long before the area was officially opened to settlement, theAbenaki called it Ktineketolekwac or "Grand Forks." The site was occupied by Gilbert Hyatt and hisassociates, who in 1801 built a flourmill and sawmill at the Magog River gorge. This stimulated rapid growthand the village expanded quickly, taking its current name in 1818 in honour of Sir John Coape Sherbrooke,a soldier made Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia then Governor General of Canada from 1816 to 1818.The railway system sprouted at this nexus of communications in 1850, and Sherbrooke enjoyed a new waveof growth. For more than a century, its economy rested on the textile, food and mechanical industries. Thecreation of the Université de Sherbrooke in 1954 changed that vocation, gradually making the city a centrefor the service industry and unique as a city of knowledge, know-how and well-being.

Knowledge plays a predominant role in Sherbrooke. Few cities the size of Sherbrooke can boast having twouniversities, one of which is French and the other English. Even rarer are those with three colleges, one ofwhich is English. Specialized training centres in the fields of mechanical production, rubber and plastics, thefood processing industry, and biotechnology are also a significant asset.

Magnificent 19th-century buildings andresidences border Dufferin Street, where onecan find the Colby-Curtis Museum, housed inthe prestigious Carrolcroft House (1859), anItalian-style villa and a source of pride forStanstead residents. Stanstead Plain, whoseorigins date back to around 1796, wascolonized by Johnson Taplin. The EasternTownships first newspaper, the BritishColonist, began in 1823 and was replaced bythe Stanstead Journal in 1845. In 1855, thetown was officially recognized. Zeba Beebe, anative of Connecticut, colonized Beebe Plainaround 1789. The hamlet became official in1873, and in 1874, a huge resort comprisingmore than 30 chalets was built. In 1935, afire ravaged the complex. The first post office,located in an old store made of stone, islocated at the world's friendliest border,which runs down the middle of CanusaStreet. In Rock Island, the first colonistsarrived from Massachusetts around 1798.Samuel and Selah Pomroy built woodenstructures that served as way stations andshelters for immigrants. The building housingthe Haskell Free Library and Opera House,built in 1901 and inaugurated in 1904, isnamed for Carlos F. Haskell, an Americanbusinessman from Derby Line who owned anumber of sawmills.

Stoke was first known in 1792 as Cowan's Clearance inmemory of Moses Cowan, who surveyed the land for theBritish Crown.The Township was abandoned in 1837 dueto a lack of interest, and passed into the hands of theBritish American Land Company, a group of Anglo-American industrialists. In 1856, thanks to the StokeRoad and the road that would lead to Sherbrooke, theterritory was opened to settlement. A testimony to theindustriousness of its citizens, Stoke boasts the Saint-Philémon Church (1892) in a neo-gothic style. TheSentiers de l'Estrie (Townships Trails) give visitors accessto Mount Chapman, the culminating peak of MountStoke and Bald Peak, at an altitude of 650 metres.

More than a third of Frontenac Park crosses into the Municipality of Stornoway. At the Lambton-St. Francis-Megantic crossroads, surveyors divided the village (then named Bruceville) into cadastral lots. In 1849, a firstgeneral store opened its doors. Colin Noble, a merchant, potash manufacturer, justice of the peace, schoolcommissioner and postmaster, took it over in 1852 and became the township's most visible person. Heratified the town's new name to remind the Gaelic land-clearers of their origins on the Isle of Lewis. Threecemeteries provide solid links to the past as the last resting places of the Scottish colonists – as well as amonument that faces the church recalling the history of the founding families. The Catholic church, datingback to 1920, shelters a superb statue of Saint-Alphonse sculpted by Louis Jobin. On Route 161, along thebanks of the Legendre River, an ancient flour mill recalls the arrival of the French Canadians, an eracelebrated by writer Jean O'Neil in his Stornoway, L'Âge du Bois – which is in turn dedicated to ThérèseLegendre, a local inspiration.

The name of this municipality, founded in1868, was inspired by Stratford-Upon-Avon,birthplace of William Shakespeare. The clearingof the Township began in 1840 when thegovernment offered free concessions tocolonists.While the Scottish were first to arrive,French Canadians from the South Shore andthe Beauce began settling along the Lambtonroad. In 1863 their efforts bore fruit – theChampoux,Arcand and Delisle families ran twogeneral stores and two of the four mills in thevillage, including the largest, the Delislesawmill. The municipality is blessed with numerous lakes: Aylmer, Elgin, Maskinongé, Équerre andHéronnière. Near Lake Héronnière, a flora and fauna nature interpretation trail has been developed andfeatures a heron colony. The Maskinongé Marsh offers a walking trail and an observation tower.Attractions and activities: Les Croisières du Lac Aylmer (cruises), Pavillon de la Faune (wildlife exhibition), seepage 82

South Stukely, founded in 1855, is a municipality located across Route 112 between Eastman andWaterloo. It was originally colonized and settled by New England Loyalists at the end of the 18th century. Atthe beginning of the 19th century, Francophones from overflowing parishes in the Saint Lawrence valley andveterans of the War of 1812 cleared new farms. The municipality's name reflects this dual origin. “Stukely”was chosen to commemorate a village in Huntingdonshire in the centre of England. Three churches hearkenfrom that era: St. Matthew's Anglican Church (1856), the United Church (1880), which has become aCatholic church, and the Adventist Church (1883). The latter is the oldest Adventist church in Eastern Canadawhile St. Matthew’s is now a site for cultural and community activities. The history of the village is linked tothe Stagecoach Road, which offers a wonderful view to those who drive through the area or cycle past on theRoute Verte. South Stukely residents are sometimes called “Diligents” (the French word for stagecoach) – athrowback to that bygone era. Today, the municipality is working to improve its residents' quality of life andnumber of services, ensuring a rural community that is welcoming to visitors and new inhabitants.

As early as 1799, Loyalists began arriving to this area, which they called Sutton Flat based on its geographicallocation in a valley of the same name and located at the foot of the Sutton mountain range. From NewHampshire, Thomas Shepard was one of the first pioneers to clear the land. The Township of Sutton was formedin 1802 and was incorporated in 1855. In 1896, Queen Victoria herself signed the act incorporating the Villageof Sutton. It wasn’t until 1962 that the border community of Sutton was granted town status. The mergerbetween the Town and the Township of Sutton took place forty years later in 2002. The new territory includesthe sectors of Glen Sutton and Sutton Jonction to cover a territory of 244 km2. Several new buildings wereconstructed during the 19th century: the first school built in 1808 and the town hall built in 1859 when the first

mayor in the Township of Sutton, F. A. Olmstead, was in office. The following decades saw the addition of arailway station and Anglican, Baptist and Catholic churches.As a result, Sutton is rich in history and exceptionalbuilt heritage that can be discovered through its three heritage trails. Mountains, rivers and valleys often featurespectacular views that change with the time of day, the viewpoint and the season. Outdoor enthusiasts willenjoy hiking in Parc d’Environnement Naturel de Sutton that maintains up to 82 km of trails, one of the mostbeautiful four-season trail networks in Quebec and where dogs are always welcome.True to its reputation as a outdoor and cultural destination, Sutton offers a new slate of activities with eachseason: hiking, snowshoeing, sliding sports, golfing, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing,tennis (even on grass), treetop trekking, cycling …Among the major centres in Quebec, Mount Sutton ranks atthe top because of its design and its varied trails and backcountry skiing, rated the best in Canada. On thecultural scene, you’ll find a long list of activities: visuals arts (studio tours during the Tour des Arts), performanceart (theatre, improvisation), music (jazz and blues festival) and cinema, among others. These numerousattractions and activities attract visitors, tourists, vacationers and new residents to Sutton – a town brimmingwith hospitality.Attractions and activities: Ski Sutton, d’Arbre en Arbre Sutton, see pages 82 and 83

At the beginning of the 19th century, Ulverton received its first American colonists (1802-1815). British,Scottish, Irish and French Canadians followed them after 1840. Although it was not made official until 1944,its name dates back to 1853. Some say that it is a variation of the name Tilverton, a village close to Dublinand the birthplace of one of the town's founders, Edmund T. Patterson. Others think it refers more to theBritish village of Ulverston. Either way, this town is one of the most authentic and picturesque villages inQuebec, thanks to the number, quality and diversity of its heritage buildings. Among these buildings is theBlanchette Mill (1850-1945), now the Ulverton Woolen Mill, with its turbine, energy transmission system,and still-functioning machines from yesteryear! Close by, one can find a perfect reconstruction of thecovered bridge that John Porter built at the turn of the century.Attraction: Moulin à Laine Ulverton (Woolen Mill), see page 83

Val-Joli's history dates back to 1885, when a municipal structure was established in the region, close to theOdanak mission. Closely associated to the Township, Val-Joli separated in 1991 to become its ownmunicipality. It boasts a tree plantation of majestic species: oak, ash, maple and wild cherry, with walkingtrails, fishing areas and an endangered species garden to inform citizens and visitors of the need forenvironmental protection.

Val-Racine was founded in 1892. In theearly days of the colony, the land belongedto a Scottish wood company, the BristrolAmerican Land Co. In 1870, FrenchCanadians began settling in the south ofMarston Township, which became the parishof Saint-Léon upon construction of a chapel.In 1957, to pay homage to Sherbrooke'sfirst bishop,Antoine Racine, the municipalityadopted the name Val-Racine. Among itsfirst buildings was a sanctuary on MountSaint-Joseph (a neighbour of MountMegantic) to receive the patron saint'sprotection against the strong winds andstorms common to the region.

The history of Valcourt began in the 18th century with the arrival of the Loyalists, followed by English, Irishand Scottish immigrants. Among the French Canadian pioneers who came from the Richelieu Valley around1840 was the Dalcourt family, which left its name to the budding colony. The family of famed innovatorJoseph-Armand Bombardier settled here around 1814. The people of Valcourt still benefit from the economicspin-offs of the Bombardier factory, built in 1942.

Incorporated in 1916, Warden is a microcosm of British history in the Townships; even today, 57% of localresidents are Anglophones. Originally known by the colonial name of Knowlton Falls, the village borders theYamaska River, which produces runoff-spawned waterfalls every spring. The village lies along the Route Verteand a beautiful scenic road.

Although he wasn't the first tosettle here, it was HezehiahRobinson who first suggestedthe nameWaterloo in 1822. Hedid so at the prompting of hisfather-in-law Judge AlmusKnowlton, who wanted tohonour the memory of GeneralWellington's victory overNapoleon. Encircling LacWaterloo and located mid-waybetween Montreal andSherbrooke, Waterloo benefitsfrom a strategically ideallocation next to majorhighways in the Monteregieand Eastern Townships. Thisheritage town, once aturntable for the railway, hasbecome a focal point forcycling trails: the Estriade,Campagnarde, Montagnarde

and the Route verte (recognized by National Geographic as the most beautiful cycling trail in the world)intersect with each other as did the rail lines in the times of steam locomotives.

Beyond its engaging New England charm, Waterville has outstanding hydroelectric potential, whichattracted its initial British, Loyalist and American population in 1870. Industrial development began in 1810,however, with the construction of a sawmill by a Compton Township businessman. Convinced by merchantsin Quebec City, Joseph Pennoyer collected seven tons of hemp at his sawmill, intended for the manufactureof British ship cords. Inventor George Gale succeeded him in 1879, patenting his own mattress designs,which eventually made him one of the world's great inventors of box springs and spring mattresses.Waterville remains an industrial centre, with three internationally recognized companies, one of which isWaterville TG, acquired by the Japanese giant Gosei in 1988 and specializing in auto-part manufacturing.Aside from the rubber, plastic moulding and woodworking factories, Waterville is also host to a number ofinteresting buildings: the mansard-style Gale family residence, now the FoyerWaterville; the Anglican Churchon the corner of Principale and Compton Ouest; a covered bridge dating from the second half of the19th century; and the Ball residence, a Queen-Anne style house which belonged to the founders of theDominion Smith company, once a North American leader in scythe handle production. The former Ballresidence now houses a bed and breakfast. The nine-hole Bonnie View Golf Club, now known as theWaterville Golf Club, is among Quebec's oldest links.

Families from Saint-Hyacinthe andthe Richelieu Valley colonizedWeedon Township around 1840.Eventually, the municipalities ofFontainebleau (1997) andSaint-Gérard (2000) joinedWeedon to create a largermunicipality. Lake Aylmer, LakeLouise, the Salmon River and theSt. Francis River cross its fertilelands. A dozen roadside crosseshave stood guard over Weedon formore than 40 years. The Vieux Moulin Park, upgraded in 2007, provides a picnic area and walking trailsfeaturing interpretation panels. In the summer of 2003,Weedon was the site of the opening of the Harfangart gallery and a permanent exhibition space at the Laplante House, a heritage home that also includes aperformance space whose stage has been graced by singers and actors alike. Every August, Weedontransforms into the “Village des Daltons” with gymkhana and rodeo competitions for the thousands ofvisitors in attendance.

Westbury Township circles the town of East Angus. Clearing the area began in 1801 and was mostlycompleted when the town was founded in 1858. Thanks to William Angus, who left Canada Paper in orderto open his sawmill and factory, the Township became a local centre for pulp and paper in 1882. At thecrossroads of Route 214 and the Bassin Sud road, a century-old roadside cross defies time and is a sourceof pride for local residents.

Windsor is perhaps best known for its ultra-modern Domtar fine paper plant. Apart from the Abenaki campsin this area between 1600 and 1700, it was unpopulated until the dawn of the 19th century. Around 1800,Governor General Prescott granted a tract of land to Joseph Brown to thank him for his service to theCrown. In 1876, when Michel Cloutier, a French-Canadian colonist, acquired land, a rift grew betweenFrancophones and Anglophones, with one side locating in the Township municipality and the other in thevillage of Windsor Mills. The latter was elevated to town status in 1899, and took its current name in 1914.The name springs from the village of Berkshire, where one might admire Windsor Castle (built around 1344at the request of King Edward III). While the bulk of Windsor's economy is built on the pulp and paperindustry as well as textile manufacturing, there are also some worthy attractions. Note, among others,the Poudrière de Windsor, which bore witness to the manufacture of black explosive powder in Canadaaround 1864.Attraction: La Poudrière de Windsor (historic park), see page 83

Wotton owes its name to a village in Surrey,England. Wotton, which was part of thetownship of the same name, was proclaimedin 1849. The post office was established in1853, and the municipality in 1855. Initiallycleared by seven families of squatters, then bypeople from seignieuries, Wotton became thefirst Francophone Township during the area'ssettlement. It is linked to the Route Verte No 1through the Asbestos region's cycle network.The birthplace of Maurice O'Bready, innovatorand founder of the Université de Sherbrooke,the town also boasts a mansard-style rectorybuilt in 1884 and a church dating back to1902. A welcoming atmosphere and qualitylodgings make this a great four-season stopfor visitors.

Country Inns

W e're very pleased to present you withthis list of country inns in the EasternTownships… but what is a "country inn?"

Officially they are "establishments with at the most afew dozen units, managed on-site by their owners andcharacterized by a warm and personal atmosphere,quality cuisine and pleasant décor."1 Add that to a country

setting surrounded by magnificent mountains and youhave a winning combination! Don't forget to bring yournew sports equipment, favourite novel, and some comfywool socks to take full advantage of the time you'llspend here.1 Cazelais and Jacques Coulon, Séjours dans les Auberges du Québec,Editions de l'Homme, 1985.
