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

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

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

he Eastern Townships served as a traveling, hunting and trapping ground for the Abenakis, members of the Algonquian tribe who traveled between the coast of Maine and the St. Lawrence River by way of our mountains. Their legacy includes the

It was not until 1850 that French Canadians settled in the Eastern Townships and founded the villages of SaintCamille, Saint-Malo and La Patrie which remind us of their ties to the Catholic religion and its traditions. More than 60 producers lovingly care for their land, apple orchards, vineyards and maple trees in order to produce the freshest and most natural products.

Less than an hour from Montreal and close to the Quebec City region (120 km), the Eastern Townships skirts the U.S. border at Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for more than 300 km.

The Mount Megantic region is now the first International Dark Sky Reserve, recognized by the International Dark-Sky Association. A dark sky like you’ve never seen it!

Portrait of the Region Irresistible bouquets on the Townships Trail… to be picked along 415 kilometres Lac-Brome… imagine six Loyalist buildings and one German plane dating back to the First World War. Welcome to the Brome County Museum. History is all around you, even in Coldbrook Park next to the brook and waterfalls, in the heart of the village. Richmond… the charm of Victorian homes with their slate roofs and the allure of Irish culture. Along Highways 143 and 243, you’ll see beautiful views of the St. Francis River from the best vantage points. A farmer’s market teeming with produce can be found close by. Danville… a picturesque village where heritage tours will lead you to attractive sites with a rich past. Next door, a pause at the Burbank pond is a must for those passionate about watching flocks of birds taking flight.

Borough of Lennoxville… where English style is everywhere: on the Bishop’s University campus, in St. Mark’s Chapel and at the Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre, a former home converted into a museum where you can enjoy tea… in the English tradition. Stanstead… synonymous with seduction.

Shortcuts The roads less traveled often lead to interesting surprises… a place to stop and pick apples, lend a hand during the grape harvest, taste a new wine or cider, or to discover local products and enjoy a picnic while appreciating local arts and crafts, with glorious landscapes as a backdrop.

Travel light So you’re leaving for only a few days? Don’t bring more than you need – whatever fits in your travel bags and a toiletry kit. The total weight of your equipment and bicycle should never exceed 35 kilograms. Those planning a longer trip should reserve their hotel rooms or camp sites well in advance, especially in the summer, to ensure a good night’s sleep before the next day’s journey. Lodging, see pages 163 to 195

For ardent sports enthusiasts! Mountain biking lets you hit the trails even after the first snow fall. One of the best spots for this type of cycling in Quebec is the Ski Bromont biking centre, offering a multitude of thrills for extreme sports seekers! The Bromont National Cycling Center, with its cycling stadium (velodrome) and BMX course, is only a few pedal strokes away. A memorable experience for cyclists in search of new challenges.

Visiting the Region Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac

2

C-3

Benedectine monks have lived a contemplative religious life at the Saint-Benoit-du-Lac Abbey (on the west 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 focused on the search for God and on prayer, balanced with study, physical work and pastoral ministry to their visitors and guests. Part of the Abbey's buildings are the work of Dom Paul Bellot (1876-1944), the internationally celebrated French Benedictine architect. His style is characterized by the search for perfect harmony in accordance with the geometric laws of nature. Later buildings include a guest-house, the basement and the steeple of the Abbey church, all designed by Dom Claude Côté (1909-1986). The Church, designed by Montreal architect 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 an atmosphere 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. except Thursdays (at 7 p.m.) and Tuesdays in July and August. Certain parts of these public prayers are conducted in French. Stéphane Lemire

Monastery hours: 5 a.m. – 9 p.m., daily yearround. Store hours: Monday through Saturday, 9 – 10:45 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. July and August to 6 p.m. Sundays : from early July to mid-October. Closed December 26, January 1 and 2, and Good Friday. The store sells Abbey products such as cheese and apple cider, books, musical and religious chant cassettes, and devotional objects. Groups should call ahead. At the Abbey and across its grounds, respectable clothing – dresses and pants – is required. Dogs are not allowed. Information and reservations: 819 843-4080 / Fax: 819 868-1861 For women: 819 843-2340 www.st-benoit-du-lac.com L’abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac

Abercorn population 321

B-3

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 of New Hampshire, who built a grain mill and sawmill. The name Abercorn came from Linglithgowshire, close to Edinburg – after James, second Marquis and first Duke of Abercorn – and still inspires memories of Scottish nobility. Thomas Spencer built the first log cabin in Abercorn east of Ormes Road in April 1792. Experience the charm of a small hamlet where the Loyalist cachet has been preserved.

Visiting the Region Asbestos population 6,977

Camp musical d’Asbestos

Asbestos

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, and William H. Jeffrey began to mine it in 1881. This serpentine site produces chrysotile, one of two known asbestos fibres currently mined in Quebec. An observation post lets visitors marvel at the sheer size of the mine – 350 metres deep and two kilometres in diameter. In Asbestos you’ll find quad trails at Parc récréotouristique de Mine Jeffrey where VTT enthusiasts have access to more than 30 km of trails created over mounds of mining residue. These trails provide an exceptional view 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 the mining strikes of 1920, 1937 and 1949. The last of these left a permanent mark on the history of Quebec and introduced some of our lead trade unionists. The town was first instituted as a postal station and became a village in 1899; it received its statute in 1939. Trois-Lacs, recently amalgamated with Asbestos, offers country living and can be reached by Route 255 from Danville and Route 249 from Windsor. The population of this area grows five times its size during the summer season. Attractions: Musée minéralogique et d’histoire minière (Mineralogical and Mining History Museum), Camp musical d’Asbestos (Asbestos Music Camp), see page 75

Ascot Corner population 2,617

D-2

Founded in 1901, the municipality of Ascot Corner drew its name from an English village, Ascot, which was renowned for its equestrian grounds. George Stacey – whose father, a government employee in London, sent his 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, Lennoxville and Sherbrooke. Facing a bridge that spans the St. Francis River are the ash-white church and its rectory, proudly perched on the promontory.

Audet population 702

F-1

In 2002, this parish – originally named for the patron saint of hunters, Saint-Hubert de Spalding – celebrated its 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 village offers a unique view of the surrounding area. The Samson River crosses the hamlet at its eastern tip. Residents make their living from seasonal tourism linked to fishing, hunting and snowmobiling, as well as from forestry work, agriculture and maple products.

Visiting the Region Austin population 1,300

C-3

Splitting away from East Bolton, Austin became its own town in 1938, and is named for its founder, a Quaker who immigrated here in 1795. Nicholas Austin lived on the west side of Lake Memphremagog in the township granted 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 Sherbrooke Diocese. The Saint-Benoît abbey is one of the main reasons for Austin's notoriety, but credit is also due to Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, a citizen and the son of a minister who, in 1906, completed the world's first radio voice transmission from Brant Rock, Massachusetts to Norfolk, England.

Ayer’s Cliff population 1,187

C-3

Sébastien Larose

Auberge Ripplecove, Stéphane Lemire

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 as Langmaid's Flat. He ran a small hotel, welcoming visitors traveling up from the United States. In 1799, a man named Thomas Ayer bought property to lay a rail line. When this was accomplished, the town took on the name Ayer's Flat. But this term – suggesting a swampy lowland – didn't bode well for the area's investment potential. And so, in 1904, "Cliff" became the town's suffix – a better reflection of the area's scenic attributes. Every summer, the citizens of Ayer's Cliff hold a colossal fair at their county fairgrounds – one of the oldest such events in the region. Music can still be heard from one of Quebec's few remaining public bandstands. The Cliff is also a great access point to Lake Massawippi – Abenaki for "lake of deep water."

Visiting the Region Barnston-Ouest population 601

C-3

Stéphane Lemire

It seems that Algonquins tilled the soil of Barnston Township between 1300 and 1680. These were followed by the Abenakis and later by Irish Loyalists, while the Francophone wave began around 1850 after the construction of the railway. While the tracks did not run through town, the railway was responsible for an influx of Francophones to the Coaticook MRC. Today, residents live in the hamlets of Way's Mills and Kingscroft, which make 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. The hamlet 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’s main 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).

Bedford (Town) population 2,639

A-3

For years regarded as the biggest town in Missisquoi County, Bedford (1890) is located close to the Vermont border. The first settlers arrived in 1804 and by 1860, the village had 400 citizens. At the end of the 19th century, Bedford was a significant centre for commerce where one could find a railway station, retail stores, 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 the pride of both English and French residents. The Meules trail, along with the Centre d'interprétation de la rivière aux Brochets, allows an exceptional view of the downtown area. New since 2005: A heritage walking trail close to the downtown core allows visitors to discover the heritage and architectural character of a dozen homes and businesses.

Bolton-Est population 724

B-3

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, the area saw an era of copper mining. South Bolton, formerly Rexford's Corner, is distinguished by heritage homes and a former school that dates back to 1832. Visitors can also see Holy Trinity Anglican Church, built in 1860. The village of Kimbolton became Bolton Centre in 1868. Twenty years later, there were 200 inhabitants in 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. Established in 1876 with the municipality of East Bolton, it was the largest population centre in the Township and one of the first towns in the area. Its name was chosen in memory of Harry, sixth and last Duke of Bolton. Before Bolton, the village bore a succession of other names – French Church, recalling a church built by the first group of French colonists to settle there, and Duboyce's, the name of the first inhabitant. This part of Bolton Township was first colonized by Loyalists, who were joined by French Canadians between 1830 and 1840. Attraction: Rallyes Découvertes, see page 75

Brigham population 2,305

A-3

Founded in 1855, the municipality of Brigham is west of Cowansville and close to Bromont. Its name became Adamsville in 1961, in honour of George Adams, owner of the land on which the church was founded in 1873. In 1980, there was a further name-change in favour of Brigham – this time to pay homage to Erratus Oakley Brigham, owner of the town's largest business (a brick factory) throughout the mid-19th century. The Brigham area also contains two covered bridges, one of which was totally restored in 2001. Be sure to visit the neo-Renaissance Brigham Manor (1865), as well as Brigham United Church (1872). Two local vineyards should also be mentioned, as well as La Bauge Vineyard exotic animals, a blueberry field, sugar shacks and numerous historical homes dating from 1865 through 1890. Living in a mainly pastoral agricultural setting, Brigham residents also benefit from excellent local farmers' markets.

Brome population 285

B-3

The municipality of Brome was created in 1923. Since 1799, it has been growing and changing along both sides of the Stage Coach Road – at the time, a popular coach route. Its name comes from a village in the English 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.

Mine Cristal

At the end of the 18th century, Joseph Bouchette surveyed the north section of Stukely Township, which became the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours in 1840. The British Crown distributed lots to the Protestant clergy, then to militiamen who were released after the war of 1812-1815, and finally to French Canadians from Acadia and the Montreal suburbs. 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 the seventh largest mine in the world.

Parc aquatique Ski Bromont, water park

The modern history of Bromont started at the end of the 18th century, with the arrival of the Loyalists. Later enhanced by Francophone and Irish settlers, this community flourished in harmony. The year 1964 marks the founding of the town of Bromont. At the time, the founding family, the Désourdys, planned the town’s development along two major axes: a tourism sector and a high-technology industrial sector. The dynamic nature of 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 enthusiasts and athletes at its first-class facilities year round. In addition to the Ski Bromont centre, the largest lit skiing facility in North America that converts into a water park and mountain bike trail site during the summer, Bromont residents are fortunate to have their own airport, excellent lodgings, renowned health centres, camping, several excellent golf courses, a bike path that joins the Route Verte, an Olympic velodrome, equestrian centres including an 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 major cycling competitions throughout the summer. Tourists will enjoy the Carrefour Champêtre with its many boutiques as well as the old-fashioned charm of Shefford Street and its businesses, heritage trail, restaurants and terraces, chocolate museum, art galleries and antique shops.

Accessible by Routes 108 and 255, the heart of the village of Bury boasts a number of residences featuring a variety of architectural styles influenced by the different cultures of the people who cleared the township’s land in 1836. Bury’s first settlers came from England’s rural regions of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent, and from the northern United States.After 1837, a few Gaelic families from the Isles of Lewis and Lochbroom settled in the region. The town of Bury was founded in 1855. Small businesses of the time were sustained by the presence of the railroad and forestry. The latter, with agriculture, shaped Bury’s modern-day economy. Bury

This patch of land, 139 km square and 505 metres in altitude, is one of the highest regions in Quebec – the 'El Dorado' of the Eastern Townships still glitters with the natural, wild riches of the surrounding countryside – and its famed optical phenomenon, the “Magnetic Hill.” In the orange glow of sunset, you may catch a glimpse of the region's many deer or the occasional majestic moose.

Cleveland population 1,609

C-1

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

Covered bridge and round barn at Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook

Its history as “the Pearl of the Townships” began in the 18th century when Richard Baldwin Sr. cleared land in the Baldwin region and continued along the Koatikeku River, which in Abenaki means “river of the pinelands.” From 1830 onward, community life in Coaticook improved remarkably, thanks to the combined efforts of several pioneer families – the Bucklands, Parkhursts, Clevelands, Ingrahams, Pages and Sleepers. The municipality was incorporated in 1864, and with the arrival of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad in 1852 and the Grand Trunk in 1854, the town experienced major growth. With the amalgamation of Barnston Township and Barford in 1999, Coaticook considerably expanded its territory. The 108 farms situated 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 de Baldwin or the trails at Mount Pinnacle which offers a magnificent view of Lake Lyster. The recommended heritage tours are an interesting way to enjoy the town's rich architecture: the Barnston Baptist Church

Parc Découverte Nature de Baldwin

(1837), the old railway station (1904), the former Arthur-Osmore-Norton House (1912) now home to the Beaulne Museum, Sisco Memorial Church (1923, now the Pavillon des Arts et de la Culture), and Collège Rivier that houses an educational institution over 125 years old. The stable-barn of the Plateau Farm, built by Eugene O. Baldwin in 1912, is also a remarkable attraction with siding in a relief maple leaf pattern. The Plateau Farm was declared a historical site in 1999, and was recently acquired by the Centre d'Initiatives Agricole to provide training. The natural result of millions of years of erosion, the Coaticook Gorge is 50 metres deep. The Coaticook Gorge Park features a covered bridge (a faithful recreation of an 1887 bridge lost to flooding in 1998), two observation towers, and an outdoor campsite, among other major attractions. Be sure to visit the foot suspension bridge that links two sides of the gorge; it spans the void for 169 metres, and according to Guinness is the longest such bridge in the world. The park features a new bird-watching trail complete with feeders and an observation tower installed three years ago. With the growing popularity of avitourism (birding), there are now more than 11 observation sites to discover throughout the Coaticook region!

Visiting the Region Birthplace of Louis Stephen Saint-Laurent, Canada's Prime Minister from 1948 to 1957, the municipality of Compton is an essential stop on any tour of the region.After the merger of Compton Township and Compton Village (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 the county of Surrey, England. The village became more of an economic centre with the expansion of the railway around 1850, and French Canadians began to arrive around 1871. The residents of Compton built a number of prestigious institutions around 1874, including the Ladies' College and the St-Laurent's quaint general store and residence, 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 in 1961 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 rich variety of architecture that resulted. Today, Compton is regarded as the apple capital, where you will delight in the bounty of its soil: apple orchards, strawberries, raspberries, maple products, blueberries, grapes, blackcurrants, and organic vegetables, as well as butter, cheesemakers, bakeries, vegetables, medicinal plants and organic herbs.

The town of Cookshire-Eaton is the result of merger of the Town of Cookshire, the Municipality of Eaton, including Sawyerville. With a population of 5,114, it is the largest municipality in the Haut-SaintFrançois region with 298 km 2 of beautiful hamlets and criss-crossing scenic roads. Cookshire itself was founded by Loyalists in 1892, following the Abenakis who had once set seasonal camps there. The town drew its name from Captain John Cook, its first colonist who, in 1795, acquired hundreds of hectares of land for agricultural purposes. The architecture of several residences and particularly that of St. Peters Anglican Church demonstrate a blend of American and Anglo-Saxon architecture. Converted into a medical clinic, the former home of senator John Henry Pope, a pioneer and the founder of Canadian Pacific, is a jewel in our heritage. Taking the scenic route and the Loyalists' Circuit, towards East Angus, you'll find the John Cook covered bridge, built on the former riverbed of the Eaton Compton County Historical Museum Society River. To the west is Johnville where you'll find the Notre-Dame-dela-Paix church and, a few kilometres from the village, the trails of the Parc écoforestier, where you can explore a rare ecosystem with remarkable diversity. Route 253 towards Sawyerville passes through Eaton Corner, a charming village recognized as the oldest town in the Townships. Agriculture and forestry dominate the local economy. Several buildings are classified as historical monuments; note the church dating back to 1840-41 that now houses the Musée de la Société d'histoire du comté de Compton and the former Eaton Academy. The area is 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, a picturesque Haut-Saint-François village. It was named for Josiah Sawyer, who left his home in Missisquoi Bay in 1792 to re-establish himself in the “Townships.” After seven years of hard work, this American trailblazer began to see his work shaping the future of the Townships. Today, local entrepreneurs rely on the long-time mainstays of sawmills and wood transformation. Two small churches – one Baptist, the other Anglican – are fellow witnesses to the past. The nearby McDermott covered bridge, spanning the falls of the North Eaton River, is also worth a visit. In the municipality one could also find the hamlets of Birchton, Bulwer and Sand Hill.

The residents of Courcelles, less than two kilometres south of Route 108, take the environment, culture and heritage to heart. In 1865, Pierre Morin built the first log dam across the Bluets River to drive a flour- and sawmill. A Québec Central railway station was built nearby in 1895, bringing economic growth to the town and its mill. The town itself stretched along both sides of the Bluets River. In 1903 a church was built a distance from the town’s main street, creating two central places around which town life was focused. Restored in 2003, the Bernier Mill has become a cultural and tourist centre that offers exhibitions as well as educational and art programs. Outside, a lookout provides a view of the dam, restored in 1998. Moulin Bernier (Bernier Mill)

Nesbitt house

Cowansville Downtown

A city with 14 bridges, Cowansville is the largest municipality of the Brome-Missisquoi region and was originally known as Nelsonville (1805-1875). Cowansville takes its name from Peter Cowan, a Scot and influential businessman. The village incorporated in 1876 and became a town in 1931. In 1964, Cowansville annexed the village 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 du Québec 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 was originally the Eastern Townships Bank and the residence of William F. Vilas, a noted industrialist of his era – Vilas furniture is still sought and highly valued overseas and across North America. On Bell Street, in the western part of town, the Freeport covered bridge, built in an elaborate Town style, dates from 1870 and spans the Yamaska River. On December 3, 1944, a large fire broke out on the main street and obliterated a good part of the business district 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 and provides a nature centre and beach for residents and visitors alike. The new Nelsonville Park offers a magnificent view of the river and of Nesbitt bridge, which was built in 1930. Once darkness falls, lights permit a view of the remnants 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 always benefited 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 a Barnston pioneer, Baldwin ultimately left his nickname – Uncle Dick – as inspiration for the name of the municipality, which merged with Saint-Mathieu in 1995. Apart from remains of the sawmill and hydroelectric dam, 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.

Both lie within the hollow of a vast mountainous region. Mirror and Silver lakes and the Dudswell Forêt Habitée walking 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 from rural life in the 1920s through 1940s. From the Maison de la Culture, you can admire the stately Victorian and vernacular 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 operation since 1824. Visitors can discover the many facets of limestone mining in Dudswell with a visit to the Maison de Lime Ridge and the Jardins du mineur (lime interpretation centre).

Dunham was the first proclaimed Township in the area in 1796, and the first to be officially established in Lower Canada. The Township municipality was set up in 1845, and the village municipality in 1867, which amalgamated in 1971 to form the town of Dunham. The first settlers arrived in about 1820. Dunham took its name in honour of Sir Thomas Dunn, born in England and one of the 35 concession-owners in the Township in 1796. The town of Dunham is typical of the Loyalist era, with many brick and stone houses bordering Rue Principale – some over 150 years old. Note the presence of three churches: the neo-classical United Church (1847), the Anglican All Saints Church (1849) with an amazing facade and trim of cut stone, and the Sainte-Croix Catholic Church (1875) with its wood siding, located at the peak of the rise to the south. The birthplace of Quebec wine production, Dunham invites you to the famed “Wine Route” to discover its vineyards and vintners' skill. The grape harvest is also apple season – Dunham's beauty includes orchards, cider-houses, sugar shacks, berry farms, corn on the cob, and charming hobby farms.

Called “the Townships’ Fir Plantation” because of its rich coniferous forests, East Angus was founded in 1882 and named for William Angus, the proud Scottish industrialist who launched the village’s economic future by building a pulp and paper factory and sawmill on the banks of the St. Francis River. Even today, the town’s economic engine is fueled by the paper industry, particularly the Cascades plants. The recently restored Vieille Gare du Papier houses two exhibits: one on the history of East Angus and the other on the history of paper making. The Parc des Deux-Rivières, with its many trails spread over a 27-hectare area, features exceptional flora and fauna and breath-taking landscapes. An 18-hole golf course offers a great round, while the town’s inns, restaurants, and service industry enjoy a long-established reputation.

The history of the municipality of this village began on March 11, 1914 when William Elwin Hall, representing East Farnham Township, tabled a petition to the council of mayors requesting that a portion of Farnham Township be officially recognized as a village. On August 27, 1914, the request and report were approved without 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 well traveled: Abenakis, Loyalists, French Canadians and smugglers have all contributed to its history. In the heart of the Appalachians, near an 864-metre mountain and bordering the Hall River (the official border with New Hampshire), East Hereford has been associated since 1855 with Hereford Township, a name that comes from Wales. As a border territory, East Hereford has a history of shady traffic – which Health break at the top of Mont Hereford may 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 creation took 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 and ensured the town's survival. Today, the municipality is a multiple winner of the Villes, Villages et Campagnes Fleuris (Flowered Cities, Towns and Countryside) award, and attracts attention for its recreation and tourist activities. 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 prominent antique show in October.

Amalgamated with a number of small villages and townships in 1985, Frelighsburg is a small town hidden at the foot of Pinnacle Mountain. The original Frelighsburg dates back to 1845 and included the Protestant parish of Saint Armand East. The village takes its name from Dr. Abram Freligh, originally from Clinton in Dutchess County, New York. The architectural quality of certain buildings in the village is remarkable: the old Freligh 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 later housed the oldest insurance company in Canada. In the 1870s, the village already had 300 citizens and nearly 50 houses, the majority built from wood. Visitors can still admire some of them, recognizable by their Loyalist-influenced two-slope roofs. Adélard Godbout, Quebec Premier in 1936 and from 1939 to 1944, lived and was buried here. Apple orchards continue to figure prominently in the local economy. Craftspeople and artists are numerous, and produce high-quality works. One notable celebration is Festiv'Art, which is held the Saturday and Sunday of Labour Day weekend. This visual arts festival turns the streets of the town into an immense open gallery. Frelighsburg residents are proud of their heritage-laden hometown, considered one of the most beautiful in Quebec.

Visiting the Region Frontenac population 1,671

The discovery of fluted spear points typical of the late Paleoindian period thrust Frontenac to the forefront of Quebec archaeology with the confirmation that native hunters from the American west were in the region at the end of the last glacial period, 10,000 years ago. Frontenac's more recent history is also notable, including the passage on October 19, 1775 of the American general Benedict Arnold and some of his troops on their way to attack Quebec City. The later arrival of Scottish settlers shaped the cultural landscape. The Anglican church of St. John, built in 1889 on the 4th range road, as well as the adjoining View of Lac aux Araignées cemetery of the same era, are witnesses to their passage. 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 enjoying several kilometres of lakefront on Lake Mégantic to the west, Frontenac residents enjoy an exceptional body of water, Spider (Araignées) Lake, to their south and a magnificent golf course facing the Hautes-Appalaches observation tower thoughtfully placed where visitors can admire the view. Frontenac's economy is largely based on forestry and tourism, and it shares with two other municipalities the Joncs lake marsh, one of the largest of its kind south of the Saint Lawrence River. It is the only municipality with access to hunting and fishing in the zec Louise-Gosford in the Louise Sector, a controlled harvesting area.

This first-rate tourist attraction, which vaulted Granby into prominence, is just one of many. The City of Granby is also proud of its Festival international de la chanson, an annual competition celebrating new French-language music, its Centre d’interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin (nature interpretation centre), its many paved cycling trails which are part of the vast cycling network in Southern Quebec, its ice ring at Lac Boivin in winter, its 40 city parks, including Parc Daniel-Jonhson, a meeting place that also serves as the site of annual summer firework displays during the Saint-Jean celebrations, and an antique car exhibit. 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 Yamaska River – where both English and French cultures co-existed – separated from its township of origin. The municipal merger of January 2007 regrouped the original territory and at the same time, Granby became a new city of 60,617 residents.

Like a giant horseshoe surrounding the village of Scotstown, Hampden Township is a true cultural enclave. It is essentially the result of a large emigration of Scots in 1874, the majority coming from the Isle of Lewis in the 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 the surrounding landscape. The municipality is close to the Samuel Brisson ecological reserve, where one can observe 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 by Barnston and Stanstead, and west by Magog, Little Magog lake and the river by that name. Containing 348 lots, 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. Henry Cull and Ebenezer Hovey petitioned for a grant of land which was officially awarded in 1803 in the new Township of Hatley (named after a village in England). The Township was naturally divided from the north to south 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 to families 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 Story of Hatley, Maude Pellerin speaks of the Indians as being friendly with their white neighbours, as there were no 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 Village of North Hatley (1897), Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley (1901), Ayer's Cliff (1909), and Hatley (1912). The Municipality of the Township of Hatley expanded to the north following the annexing, in 1997, of a part of Ascot. The main attractions in the Municipality of the Township of Hatley are Lake Massawippi, the Montjoye ski resort and the Capelton mines. Attraction: L’Épopée de Capelton, see North Hatley page 79

A village municipality created in 1896, Kingsbury built its reputation on its slate quarries, found primarily in Melbourne and Shipton Townships. The quarries contain New Rockland and Walton slate used in the production of school blackboards. Despite the industry's slowdown in the early 20th century, the municipality is known today for its marsh, created by the construction of a dam on the Salmon River. This wetland is host to a concentration of aquatic birds. One can find a number of white-tailed deer, a stand of pure red pines, a heron colony and a variety of diving birds. Note the residences with slate roofs in the older section of town with their wood-sided half-timber walls.

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

A peaceful Brome Lake

Created in 1971 following the merger of seven municipalities (Knowlton, West Brome, Foster, Fulford, Iron Hill, Bondville and East Hill), Lac-Brome surrounds Brome Lake. The name refers to a village in Suffolk County, England. Local residents have created a heritage circuit to guide visitors. The elegant Victorian village of Knowlton, the largest in Lac-Brome, is famous for its Loyalist roots and splendid built heritage. It was established upon the arrival of Colonel Paul Holland Knowlton, who came from Vermont and who built a flourmill 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 County government. As early as 1867, vacationers were attracted to Knowlton, already described by the Canadian Handbook Tourist Guide as an exceptional locale. In 1894, Knowlton inaugurated the first free rural public library 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, natural surroundings of Coldbrook Park. Every autumn, a gastronomical event celebrates the world-famous Brome Lake duck. At Christmas, businesses and residences alike are trimmed with fabulous decorations, creating a vision of Christmas in a bygone era. Every year, on the first Saturday of December, young and young-at-heart gather to watch the traditional Santa Claus Parade where none other than Saint Nick himself doles out candies and smiles to visitors! The village of Foster, located close to the Eastern Townships Autoroute, is known for its former railway station. The tourist bureau, located at the crossroads of Routes 215 and 243, Need help?

is housed within this charming train station that was moved and restored for that purpose. It is the characteristic of stations found along the Canadian Pacific railway at the end of the 19th century. Built on the banks of the Yamaska River close to Highway 10, the small hamlet of Fulford emerged in 1858 with the construction of a large tannery. In 1881, the economic activity of the village was reinforced with the opening of a sawmill. Two Protestant churches serve the community. Loyalists colonized the village of West Brome very early on. McCurdy Street features a variety of older homes found in the shadow cast by the spire of the Ascension Church (1885). Not to be missed is a stop by the Edwards General Store for a step back to yesteryear.

Although brothers Jean and Godefroy Drolet founded this municipality in 1851, it wasn't officially recognized until 1885. One of the town's highlights is the Saint-Samuel Church, which has been the pride of Drolet residents since its construction in 1898. Made from unpolished granite hauled from a Saint-Sébastien quarry, it has been named an official historic monument, which is also the case with the neo-classical rectory, today a private residence, and the 1906 convent, which now holds a community hall. Outdoors enthusiasts can hike the trail up Mount Morne; at its peak, an observation tower provides a 360-degree panoramic view. Close by, in an ancient quarry at 640 metres' elevation on Mount St-Sébastien, is the Maison du Granit interpretation centre. Stéphane Lemire

A view of the town of Lac-Mégantic

The regional capital of the eastern section of the Townships, the town of Lac-Mégantic was created in 1907 – long after Malcolm Matheson, a businessman from Lewis Island in England, built his house and opened 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 village of Agnes, which was dubbed by Scottish colonists in honour of Sir John A. Macdonald's wife, who accompanied the first prime minister of Canada and minister John Henry Pope to inaugurate the last section of the International Railway. Twinned with the Quebec Central in 1889, this railway supported LacMégantic'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 than 12,000 years ago and explored by Samuel de Champlain's associates. A number of buildings in the downtown core will interest architecture enthusiasts: Sainte-Agnès Church (1913), a Catholic temple in the neo-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 will fascinate history lovers. Bordering Lake Megantic, the second largest in the region, Lac-Mégantic is a tourist destination beyond compare thanks to its many lodging facilities and activities. Throughout the year, two Quebec national parks – Frontenac and Mount Megantic – and the Complexe Baie-des-Sables (recreotourism centre) offer a number of possibilities to outdoor enthusiasts. Activities include hiking, biking, horseback riding, mountain biking, canoeing, camping, fishing, swimming, water sports and, in winter, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing and tube sliding. The golf course is another attraction. Close to the marina, downtown, is the tree-lined Veterans Park. Snowmobile fans can take advantage of a multitude of groomed trails with snow in abundance. Mégantic's citizens have the added advantage of a thriving economy, thanks to the woodworking industry. Experience a unique outing aboard the Coudrier Mégantic, the only cruise ship that lets you admire the beautiful mountains surrounding Lake Megantic.

St. Vital Church, Lambton

The Township of Lambton was declared a municipality on April 22, 1847. Alexis Poulin, a resident of Beauceville, discovered the picturesque site in 1837 while hunting. Poulin traveled all the way to Lake St-François, marking his route along the way. At the end of the 1830s, British colonists, drawn by nearby lakes St-François and Lambton, established the municipality there. These founders named it in honour of an English Earl, John George Lambton, Lord of Durham and Governor General of Canada in 1838. The English and French-Canadian colonists lived side-by-side, until the English realized the land was not as profitable as they had hoped, after which the area became predominantly Francophone. Its first church, built in 1873-74, was destroyed by fire on August 22, 1905 – a fire that also claimed the rectory, convent and 32 homes in the village. The current church, built in 1905-07 with the grandeur of a cathedral, and the rectory sit proudly in the centre of the village. Both buildings have been declared heritage sites by the municipality. Lambton's prosperity springs from agriculture, raw materials and processing, and tourism.

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

Magog population 23,540

Vignoble Le Cep d’Argent (vineyard)

Les Amis de la Rivière-aux-Cerises (LAMRAC)

Located at the northern end of Lake Memphremagog, this hamlet flourished in the 19th century thanks to the contruction of flour, saw and card mills by Ralph Merry III, the founder of Magog. Arriving in the region around 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 near the 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 many decades, although Magog started appearing on official documents in 1783. The basis of Outlet's economy was log cutting and driving. Some small businesses complementing the local economy developed, but remained marginal. The opening in 1835 of a stagecoach inn on the Montréal-Sherbrooke corridor eased access to Magog and, around 1840, a large number of Irish Catholic immigrants settled on the eastern shore of the lake. This first half of the 19th century saw the arrival of the municipality's resort industry (hotels,

Visiting the Region sailing). In 1850, Outlet became Magog, which was officially incorporated on January 28, 1888 as a village, and in 1890 as a town. Hydraulic and hydroelectric power have been its empowering force through its history. The economic weight and influence of the textile industry marked the end of the 19th century. The first factory was the Magog Cotton and Print Company, founded in 1884 by the sonin-law of Ralph Merry, A.H. Moore. The company was sold in 1899 to Dominion Cotton Mills, and repurchased in 1905 by Dominion Textile. Today, it is part of C.S. Brooks Canada. Post-war Magog saw an era of expansion and modernization that drew even more businesses. The improvement of Savonnerie Olivier Magog (soap factory) the road system allowed the development of a four-season tourist trade that continues to flourish. Magog became a city in autumn 2002 when it merged with Magog Township, which covers a large area divided into three districts by two shores of Lake Memphremagog and the Town of Omerville, formerly a parish attached to Magog. The merger increased the municipality's population to 23,540 residents. In a historical context, this merger appealed to a strong sense of mutual ownership based on over 200 years of sharing and developing a common land. With Lake Memphremagog in the background, surrounded by mountains that stretch over 44.5 km clear to the Vermont border, it's easy to understand why Magog is called the “treasure chest of the Townships.” Throughout the year, Magog is alive with sports, cultural events and a wide variety of activities, including the Traversée Internationale du Lac Memphrémagog swimming event, the Memphrémagog Arts Circuit in the summer, and the 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 out for Memphré, a legendary lake creature that has been making waves for over 200 years. Memphré has been seen over 225 times, with sightings dating back to 1798. A boat cruise will let you appreciate the lake's true size. You may also be enticed by a stroll through the Baie-de-Magog park, a bike path that connects the city to 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 crosscountry skiing), skating on the ice path that borders Lake Memphremagog, and many snowmobile trails. The Vieux Clocher de Magog, boutiques and art galleries, cafés, terraces and restaurants are here to help you make the most of your holiday.

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 the Township's main locale, named for founder Robert Manson. Bordered by Lake Memphremagog, it is well situated among the mountains Owl's Head, Sugar Loaf, Pevee and Hawks. Its name springs from a town in Bedfordshire, England. The arrival in the area of British army officer Henry Ruiter began the area's colonization. Vale Perkins was named for its builder, Samuel Perkins, and features a large flat rock on which one can find petroglyphs (writings engraved in the stone) that seem to draw from Ogham, an ancient Celtic script. 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 mainly as 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 have contributed 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 visit local artists' workshops. Another area worth seeing – between Knowlton Landing and Vale Perkins – is Voroktha, where you'll find the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Ukranian Catholic Church. Not far away, via Aéroport and Monastère Roads, is the charming Russian Orthodox Church monastery with its onion-bulb roof like those at the Kremlin. Be sure to note its cemetery with Cryllic inscriptions on the headstones (please be respectful of the site since it is not a tourist attraction and belongs to a private community). In Mansonville, at the end of Bellevue Road, is the Province Hill covered bridge, built in the Town style in 1896. On Province Hill Road is an ancient cemetery. On Principale Street, you can find the Reilly House community centre; St. Paul's Anglican Church (1902), the United Church (1893) a Baptist church (1900), and Saint-Cajetan Catholic Church (1950) are also of interest.

Maricourt population 443

C-2

There are three possible explanations for Maricourt's name, made official in 1961. The one preferred by residents 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 Postmaster General from 1789 to 1806. This is because the municipality once carried the name of Ste-Mary-d'Ely, a village in the township of Ely-Partie-Nord, in the territory of Valcourt and close to the Ulverton River. The Sainte-Marie d'Ely church (1889) at the centre of the village evokes this 19th-century heritage. Need help? Check our guide instructions, p. 4-8 (blue section).

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 rapidly became 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 colonists cleared an area in the township. In 1861, the census counted 100 inhabitants, but they had to wait until 1880 for a parish to be established. On Spring Hill Road, one can find the Echo Vale Cemetery, the final resting place of the McLeod, Rory, Murdo and McIver pioneer families. Marston now enjoys a marina at Baie Victoria.

The farmer’s market in Melbourne

The general allure of Melbourne Township, with its 19th-century brick houses sporting slate roofs and an American vernacular style, betrays the origin of its first pioneers. Arriving around 1799, they established the parish in 1855 and founded the village of Melbourne, the name of an English town in both Derbyshire and Hampshire, in 1860. Arriving from New England, where they had felt the sting of the Irish Famine, they came to take their chances in this territory because land was still available, accessible, and fertile. They opened their first school in 1820 and built the Congregationalist St. Andrew's Church – now a historic monument admired by all. The church was featured in an illustration on every Canadian two-dollar bill printed from 1954 to 1975. The Melbourne Ridge United Church (1858) and the Richmond County Historical Society Museum are also worth a visit. You might find works by portraitist Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960), one of Canada's most celebrated artists and an Upper Melbourne native.

Milan made its name as a railway stop – a loading point for freshly sawn wood. The construction of a new rail line between Scotstown and Cookshire, at the junction of the three townships of Hampden, Whitton and Marston, accelerated its growth in 1877. The Gisla cemetery, set back behind the village, is the final resting place of the legendary outlaw Donald Morrison. Morrison was known as the Megantic Outlaw – and it was on the main street in Megantic that he fatally shot Constable Jack Warren, sent to arrest him for arson and attempted murder.

Between Stornoway and Lac-Mégantic where the road once crossed the railway, you'll find the municipality of Nantes, also known as Spring Hill. Around 1856, Scottish colonists McRae, Murdo and Murray set up their makeshift camp on this site. Known by the Gaelic name Drum-A-Vack, these camps formed the base of a colony bolstered by French-Canadian families in 1905. A railway station and post office were added in 1879 and in 1898, two sawmills, two telegraph stations and two general stores became part of the town. Nantes benefits from Lakes Whitton, McKenzie and Orignal – all close by and strikingly clean and clear. The citizens of Nantes are proud of their Christmas tree farms, most of which supply American homes with their annual traditions.

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 its growing fame, it received over 2000 visitors at the beginning of the 20th century, lodged in six hotels and 250 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 and restaurants, all of which illustrate the welcoming quality that makes this village a choice vacation spot and residence for prominent people from around the world. Since 1982, at the end of each spring, the Festival du Lac Massawippi has offered music lovers varied recitals in Sainte-Elizabeth Church (1913), in addition to open-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) are all well worth a visit.

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

Ogden population 762

C-3

Incorporated in 1932, this municipality drew its name from British immigrant Isaac Ogden, a Loyalist who obtained much of the eastern portion of Stanstead Township in 1798. Touching the American border to the south and partly stretched along Lake Memphremagog, this Township has grown through a series of amalgamations with communities such as Graniteville, Tomifobia and Griffin. Graniteville boasts the largest granite quarry in Canada. Extracted here since 1885, its granite covers some important buildings across Canada, such as the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac abbey on Lake Memphremagog and the Sun Life building in Montreal. In town, you'll also find the United Church (1896) with its granite foundations, ledge supports, and a wooden roof with pointed vaults. Formerly called Smith's Mills, Tomifobia contains a number of mills connected to local foresting operations. Travelling Route 247 from north to south, you'll pass through two tree tunnels – one at Griffin and the other at Applegrove, close to the covered bridge (1881) at the Fitch Bay isthmus. Weir Park – one of Ogden's best-kept secrets – provides a public beach where bathing is allowed, as well as several campsites.

Savon des Cantons (soap factory)

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 to identify the lake, the municipality and the mountain. For a long time, the area remained relatively unoccupied, because its mountainous geography was unsuitable for cultivation. Today, residents will tell you they've adapted to the rhythm of the mountain, the lake, the winds and the seasons. The immediate surroundings are stamped with omnipresent mountains: Orford, Giroux and Alfred-Desrochers; and lakes to the north: Stukely, Bowker, Brompton, Fraser and À La Truite. Fraser and Stukely lakes are encompassed within Mount Orford Park, established in 1933. Abutting the Mount Orford ski centre, with its golf club and the Orford Arts Centre, this park offers everything to appreciate the great outdoors

Louis-Théophile Descarries cleared a part of East Ely Township, opened in 1801 to Scottish immigrants, who were followed by French Canadians after 1852. Isaac Greenwood, later changed to Boisvert, built the first sawmill in 1825 to provide lumber for townspeoples' homes. The 1912-founded municipality took its name from the first bishop of the Sherbrooke diocese, Mgr. Racine, who held the post from 1874 until his death in 1893. Consecrated in 1906, the Sainte-Théophile-de-Racine Catholic Church, with its huge grey stones, bears witness to the era.

The municipality was named Richmond in honour of the Governor General of the colony, Charles Lennox, the fourth Duke of Richmond. A first contingent of colonists from New England and the Richelieu Valley settled along the St. Francis River at the turn of the 19th century. The economy gained steam with the arrival of the St. 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 of several rail lines. That slack was taken up by the industrial sector, and the people of Richmond began working in 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-Bibiane Roman Catholic Church (1880). Saint-Paul's French Presbyterian church, home to the Slate Interpretation Centre, and the Melbourne Cemetery are also quite interesting. The historically English section of town contains no less than 36 heritage buildings, including St. Anne's Church (1884) and Chalmers United Church (1888).

A township in England called Roxton inspired the name Roxton Pond, established as a parish (1875). In 1886, a portion of the parish separated to form the municipality of the village and in December 1997 to form the new municipality of Roxton Pond. In addition to the presence of a large Francophone Baptist community in the village, local history has been marked by the development of a strong tool-making industry. It began in 1865, when Sam Dalpé bought Louis and Paul Payan's furniture store for $1300, which specialized in the production of wood trying-planes. Homes merrily decorated with friezes and gingerbread recall Roxton Pond's past as the largest tool-producing centre in Canada.

The Municipality of Saint-Alphonse was called Hungerford Mills from 1855 to 1874. Historically, the municipality was founded in 1890 under the name of Parish of Saint-Alphonse. The municipality became Saint-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 variety of products.

Saint-Armand population 1,292

A-3

Saint-Armand came into being in 1999 as a result of the merger of St-Armand and Philipsburg. Located northeast of Lake Champlain bordering Missisquoi Bay, the hamlet of Philipsburg is the oldest populated site in the region (1784). In 1788, George Titemore, from the State of New York, settled in the area. Pigeon Hill was first known as Sagerfield, but was renamed due to the impressive number of pigeons found there. DutchAmerican 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 charming surroundings, with buildings from the 19th century. In the public square, a former railway station was converted and renovated. The Edoin covered bridge (1845) is another point of interest.

Saint-Camille, founded in 1848, was one of the first French-speaking villages in the Townships. At the heart of the village, apart from the post office established in 1864, are buildings going back to 1875 such as the loggia-style convenience store, the church, and its rectory. Saint-Antoine Chapel is also worth a visit. The small municipality has annexed part of Dudswell, including Lake Watopeka – a place of rare beauty, teeming with migratory birds. Recognized for their agricultural economy, numerous cooperatives and community activities, local residents know how to make the most of their innovative spirit. In tribute to Quebec singer Félix Leclerc, the P'tit Bonheur community and cultural centre encapsulates the spirit of rural life through a variety of activities.

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

At the headwaters of Moe's River, on scenic Route 141 and at the foot of the 864-metre Mount Hereford and the winding road that leads to its summit, Saint-Herménégilde boasts three lakes. Attracting Loyalist land-clearers, later French Canadians and now vacationers, Lakes Wallace, Lippé and Des Français bring recognition to the mission, established in 1856, with the parish created in 1872. Resulting from the division of a Township in 1903, the municipality draws its name from Prince Herménégilde, who Léovigild (the King of the Visgoths and Herménégilde's father) persecuted around the year 586 for his Catholic faith. The town's 106-year-old neo-Gothic church is worth a visit. A-3

Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge saw its first colonists around 1810 – among them, Simon and Peter Stone, giving the area its original name of Stone Settlement. With a Catholic presence beginning in 1873, the mission became the parish of Saint-Ignace three years later, but wasn't made an official municipality until 1889. It draws its name from Saint Ignace of Antioch, a bishop and martyr of the first century. The Stanbridge part of the name emphasized its inclusion in the township of the same name in 1801, as well as recalling an English town in Bedfordshire. Residents are particularly proud of the charming hamlet of Twelve-sided barn in Mystic Mystic located nearby. In the 19th century, Mystic was the centre of much industrial activity, due to the construction of a foundry and metalworking shop in 1864 by the son of Salomon Walbridge, a native of Cambridge, 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 the principal remaining vestige of the Walbridges' mark on the area.

Thanks to American pioneers, Clifton was first colonized in 1798. A relic of this settlement, the small wooden East Clifton Church has looked over the valley since it was built in 1835. The development of Saint-Isidore d’Auckland in 1910 was the result of interest in its dense forests on the part of a company from Toronto looking to extract methanol. Since then, forestry, maple sugaring and agriculture have constituted the local economy. In 2001, residents adopted an objective to become environmentally friendly, emerging as an eco-village offering services including the Marché de Solidarité (market offering local produce), Camping Vert (an ecofriendly campground), and a small farms project.

The two communities were at odds over the construction of a second Catholic church in the village. Through an eventual agreement, the parish was founded in 1858 and the municipality incorporated in 1884. It took the name Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford, indicating the township to which it belongs. You'll find it on the scenic route, which leads north to Acton Vale. It provides many spectacular views, including large numbers of white-tailed deer in spring.

Founded by Loyalists in 1851 and made official in 1881, the municipality is named for a village in Essex County, England. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was the main town of Wolfe County – undoubtedly because its Gosford Road connected Quebec to Boston. From this prestigious past, Ham residents have maintained some buildings including a Gothic church. Mount Ham

The first Beauce colonists arrived in 1883, establishing at Saint-Ludger, and the first general meeting of the Town Council of Risborough, part of Marlow, was held on June 4, 1900. The first Town Council meeting for Southeast Gayhurst and part of Saint-Ludger Village was held on December 12, 1904. Saint-Ludger separated from Gayhurst in 1921. Its name was chosen to evoke memories of François-Amable-Ludger, who drowned 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 attention to some magnificent gilt-work and decorative sculptures, as well as its transepts – the transverse galleries that separate the choir from the nave, forming the arms of a cross. The past is commemorated through the original sawmill on Du Moulin Road, the former general store that now houses an agricultural co-op, and three roadside crosses scattered amongst the back roads. Agriculture, the maple industry and forestry ensure a strong local economy.

Saint-Malo is the highest municipality in Quebec. At 585 metres, local residents live in an environment of forests, farms, and waterways that supply their livelihood. Every September, they revive the traditions of their ancestors with a Harvest Festival that includes a “country” mass. The parish of Saint-Malo was established in 1863 by French Canadians and incorporated as a municipality in 1910. The town's name evokes the Welsh monk Malo, missionary bishop of Brittany, and refers to the homeland of Jacques Cartier, explorer of the New World. Visitors must see La Montagnaise, a 10-metre observation tower built in 1995 that lets all admire the countryside from an incredible vantage point.

Established in 1912, the municipality of Pike River is mainly known for its agricultural community and dairy farms, as well as a high number of Swiss, Belgian and Polish immigrants. Running through town, the Pike River complements three impressive institutional buildings: the church (1907), whose structure and striking colour marks the countryside; the former school (1923) that is now home to the town hall, and the rectory. The town's name springs from an Italian friar, Pierre of Verona (circa 12051252). Pike River is known in French as the Rivière aux Brochets. F-1

The municipality of Saint-Robert-Bellarmin, so named in 1949, was previously known as Sainte-Rufine. It was originally a mission built in 1907 by Beauce colonists. In memory of the Italian bishop Robert Bellarmino, the Lachance and Tanguay families founded a parish following the detachment of range roads 10 and 11 from Saint-Ludger and the Saint-Gédéon main road. The landscape around this region reaches its peak in October, when the sugar bushes (more than 700,000 maple trees tapped) located on land belonging 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-Loup pond and Lac Émilie.

Saint-Romain population 717

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

Saint-Sébastien population 793

According to archives, farmers from the Beauce originally populated Saint-Sébastien, founding the municipality in 1855 and the parish in 1869. An agricultural zone, it spans territory that stretches across a large plateau, bordered to the southeast by Mount Saint-Sébastien. At 500 metres, Saint-Sébastien is among the highest towns in Quebec, and is both the provincial and national “granite capital”. Any doubts of this will be cast away when you see the 1889 neo-classical church. The same applies to the cemetery, which displays a number of impressive granite stones.

Saint-Venant is perched in the Appalachian Mountains on its own stone balcony, leaning towards New Hampshire and the Hall River. Immigrants arriving from the Richelieu Valley around 1862 chose this enchanting site. The municipalities of Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, SaintHerménégilde and East Hereford were first known as the Municipality of Hereford Township. It was in 1917, after the departure of Saint-Herménégilde and East Hereford, that Saint-Venant-dePaquette became the municipality of the parish of Saint-Venant-de-Hereford and then of Saint-Venant-de-Paquette, due to the fact that the residents were served by the parish of Saint-Venant-de-Hereford and by the post office located in the railway station of Paquetteville. The church-museum (1877) has its original varnished-wood interior intact its unique architecture has earned the nickname The Saint-Venant-de-Paquette “sentier poétique” (poetry trail) “Turret of the Townships.” The Caisse Populaire (1907) was the first such financial institution set rurally in North America. You can now visit the Maison de l'Arbre, the starting point of the Sentier Poétique, inaugurated in 1998 by the Friends of Heritage (which includes renowned Quebec singer Richard Séguin) to celebrate our native poets.

The municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle developed thanks to the founding of the Sainte-Annede-Stukely parish by Irish and Loyalist immigrant families in 1856 – the parish became Sainte-Anne-dela-Rochelle in 1951. Its name refers to a town in Poitou, France, where there is a large rocky outcrop. The people of Sainte-Anne built a church around their similar rock hill, and dedicated it to Sainte-Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. Since 1896, every July, pilgrims from all over arrive to climb to the summit, where there is a grotto, a church, a sanctuary and a roadside cross. C-3

Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley, previously known as Katevale, was founded in 1901. From the square facing the parish’s magnificent Catholic church built in 1908, locals enjoy an exceptional view of Mount Orford and Little Lake Magog. With the construction of its chapel in 1868, the mission was placed under the protection of St. Catherine of Sienne, an Italian mystic (1347-1380). The surname of Hatley recalls its presence in Hatley Township, proclaimed in 1803. The municipality was founded by Loyalists, and grew considerably after an influx of Francophone settlers in 1860. In 1946, a fire ravaged a good portion of the village. Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley Today, several painters, inspired by the area’s landscapes and the beauty of the surroundings, maintain a strong and long-standing tradition of visual arts.

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

Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton population 863

The pioneer families of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton settled in the area starting in 1870, arriving in force from St-Romain and St-Sébastien. Other English colonists decided to settle more along the 10th range road. At the base of Mount Sainte-Cécile, to the north of Lac-Mégantic, the municipality of Sainte-Cécile-de-Whitton enjoys spectacular surroundings along the banks of the Chaudière River. Jean-Baptiste Verret built its church in 1901. Local residents still work in the forestry and agricultural industries, as well as maple bushes and some world-famous granite businesses: Tuiles Grani-Décor and Le Groupe Polycor (Granit Bussière, Tuiles et Tranches Polycor), specializing in construction stone and stone intended for residential and commercial sectors (ex.: countertops, flooring, etc.). This aspect of the area sheds some light on the surrounding region’s name – Granit. The area is one of tranquility and quiet industriousness, a combination that makes it a great place to live.

Formed in 1921, the Sainte-Sabine parish received its first colonists in 1888 and the canonical establishment of its parish in 1889. In 1987, municipal authorities adopted the French term Sabinois to describe the town's residents. E-2

Founded by Scottish colonists, and with descendents of the founding families still residing there, Scotstown was built on the development of our national railway. The descending Salmon River lent itself to the creation of a hydroelectric dam, and convinced owners of Glasgow Canadian Land and Trust Company to set up business and establish a hamlet there in 1872. The municipality officially became Scotstown in 1892, named in honour of John Scott, the first manager of the company. Today, this tiny picturesque village not far from Mount Megantic continues to thrive off forestry and its derivatives, as well as tourism and businesses related Scotstown to herb production and bio-foods. With four bell towers testifying to its rich religious past, this charming bailiwick also features some stunning residences typical of 19th-century Eastern Townships architecture.

Shefford population 6,064

Shefford Township occupies a unique position in the heart of the upper Yamaska region, sharing a common border with towns like Bromont, Granby and Waterloo. Founded in 1792 by Loyalists emigrating from the United States, Shefford Township is today a semi-rural township. Its territory is dominated by Mount Shefford, which offers a number of magnificent views of the region. A significant portion of the Estriade bike path can be found south of the mountain, as well as an ecological park. Over 200 km of small side roads entice cycling fans.

Tourisme Sherbrooke

Sherbrooke is the sixth largest city in Quebec with a population of 151,000 and features one of the highest rates of bilingualism in the province (40%). The city covers an area of 366 km2 divided into six boroughs: Brompton, Fleurimont, Lennoxville, Mont-Bellevue, Rock Forest –Saint-Élie – Deauville and Jacques-Cartier. The agricultural, wooded and rural sectors feature idyllic landscapes and preserve a green crown around the city. What’s more, its irregular topography of hills, valleys and flat terrain offer magnificent vantage points. Located in the heart of the Eastern Townships, where Sherbrooke, City hall the St. Francis and Magog Rivers meet, Sherbrooke benefits from an enviable geographic position. Long before the area was officially opened to settlement, the Abenaki called it Ktineketolekwac or "Grand Forks." The site was occupied by Gilbert Hyatt and his associates, who in 1801 built a flourmill and sawmill at the Magog River gorge. This stimulated rapid growth and 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 wave of growth. For more than a century, its economy rested on the textile, food and mechanical industries. The creation of the Université de Sherbrooke in 1954 changed that vocation, gradually making the city a centre for the service industry and unique as a city of knowledge, know-how and well-being.

Ville de Sherbrooke

Stéphane Lemire

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

Stanbridge East was founded in 1801 and incorporated in 1890. The first occupants were Loyalists – former British colonists who remained loyal to the Crown during the American Revolution – who settled here in 1797. They cleared the land, creating a farming industry that still fuels the community today. Around 1800, a grain mill and sawmill were constructed next to the Pike River. Be sure to visit the Anglican Church (1860), the United Church (1844), and the neo-classical old school. Take a look at the Missisquoi Museum, including the Cornell Mill (1830), Hodge's General Store and the Annex (Bill's Barn). The village is famed for its Loyalist origins and architecture.

The first colonists arrived in what would be Stanbridge Station in the middle of the 19th century. The rail era and the arrival of the Montreal and Vermont Junction in 1801 shaped the town's economic life up to and beyond its incorporation in 1889. The name Stanbridge came from the Township of the same name, and Station emphasized the importance of the railway station that served the town until 1955. Stanbridge Station was also a prolific agricultural community, with large dairy farms, garden markets and fruit farms. The recent arrival of immigrants from Spain, France, Switzerland and Belgium has enhanced the town's cultural wealth.

Magnificent buildings and residences border Dufferin Street, where one can find the Colby-Curtis Museum, housed in the prestigious Carrolcroft House (1859), an Italian-style villa and a source of pride for Stanstead residents. Stanstead Plain, whose origins date back to around 1796, was colonized by Johnson Taplin. The Eastern Townships first newspaper, the British Colonist, began in 1823 and was replaced by the Stanstead Journal in 1845. In 1855, the town was officially recognized. Zeba Beebe, a native of Connecticut, colonized Beebe Plain around 1789. The hamlet became official in 1873, and in 1874, a huge resort comprising more than 30 chalets was built. In 1935, a fire ravaged the complex. The first post office, An architecture to discover located in an old store made of stone, is located at the world's friendliest border, which runs down the middle of Canusa Street. In Rock Island, the first colonists arrived from Massachusetts around 1798. Samuel and Selah Pomroy built wooden structures that served as way stations and shelters for immigrants. The building housing the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, built in 1901 and inaugurated in 1904, is named for Carlos F. Haskell, an American businessman from Derby Line who owned a number of sawmills. The Opera House is very Colby-Curtis Museum unique: it is split in half by the CanadianAmerican border, and audiences sit in the United States while watching performers play in Canada! A border marker has been placed close to the Haskell Library. Stanstead College (1874) is also worth a visit, as well as the Butters House (1866), the Ursulines Convent (1884) inspired by the Second Empire, the neo-Gothic style Christ Anglican Church (1857-58) and Centenary United Church (1866).

The Town Council's office is located in the Cassville School (1817), considered to be one of the oldest school buildings in the area, if not the entire province. The town also boasts a prestigious golf course, Dufferin Heights Country Club, which opened in 1925. By way of the golf course, visitors can reach the top of the Dufferin Heights’ hill where two recently restored monuments can be found: a cenotaph (1923) and a monument (1927) dedicated to pioneer families in the form of a raised platform offering an exceptional view of the region.

Stoke was first known in 1792 as Cowan's Clearance in memory of Moses Cowan, who surveyed the land for the British Crown.The Township was abandoned in 1837 due to a lack of interest, and passed into the hands of the British American Land Company, a group of AngloAmerican industrialists. In 1856, thanks to the Stoke Road and the road that would lead to Sherbrooke, the territory was opened to settlement. A testimony to the industriousness of its citizens, Stoke boasts the SaintPhilémon Church (1892) in a neo-gothic style. The Sentiers de l'Estrie (Townships Trails) give visitors access to Mount Chapman, the culminating peak of Mount Stoke and Bald Peak, at an altitude of 650 metres. Miellerie Lune de Miel

Stornoway population 592

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

Stratford (Municipality of the Township of) population 918

E-1

The name of this municipality, founded in 1868, was inspired by Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. The clearing of the Township began in 1840 when the government offered free concessions to colonists. While the Scottish were first to arrive, French Canadians from the South Shore and the Beauce began settling along the Lambton road. In 1863 their efforts bore fruit – the Champoux, Arcand and Delisle families ran two general stores and two of the four mills in the Croisières du lac Aylmer (cruises) village, including the largest, the Delisle sawmill. The municipality is blessed with numerous lakes: Aylmer, Elgin, Maskinongé, Équerre and Héronnière. Near Lake Héronnière, a flora and fauna nature interpretation trail has been developed and features a heron colony. The Maskinongé Marsh offers a walking trail and an observation tower.

South Stukely, founded in 1855, is a municipality located across Route 112 between Eastman and Waterloo. It was originally colonized and settled by New England Loyalists at the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, Francophones from overflowing parishes in the Saint Lawrence valley and veterans 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 hearken from that era: St. Matthew's Anglican Church (1856), the United Church (1880), which has become a Catholic church, and the Adventist Church (1883). The latter is the oldest Adventist church in Eastern Canada while St. Matthew’s is now a site for cultural and community activities. The history of the village is linked to the Stagecoach Road, which offers a wonderful view to those who drive through the area or cycle past on the Route Verte. South Stukely residents are sometimes called “Diligents” (the French word for stagecoach) – a throwback to that bygone era. Today, the municipality is working to improve its residents' quality of life and number 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 geographical location in a valley of the same name and located at the foot of the Sutton mountain range. From New Hampshire, Thomas Shepard was one of the first pioneers to clear the land. The Township of Sutton was formed in 1802 and was incorporated in 1855. In 1896, Queen Victoria herself signed the act incorporating the Village of Sutton. It wasn’t until 1962 that the border community of Sutton was granted town status. The merger between the Town and the Township of Sutton took place forty years later in 2002. The new territory includes the sectors of Glen Sutton and Sutton Jonction to cover a territory of 244 km2. Several new buildings were constructed during the 19th century: the first school built in 1808 and the town hall built in 1859 when the first

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 Dublin and the birthplace of one of the town's founders, Edmund T. Patterson. Others think it refers more to the British village of Ulverston. Either way, this town is one of the most authentic and picturesque villages in Quebec, thanks to the number, quality and diversity of its heritage buildings. Among these buildings is the Blanchette Mill (1850-1945), now the Ulverton Woolen Mill, with its turbine, energy transmission system, and still-functioning machines from yesteryear!

C-3

Beyond its engaging New England charm, Waterville has outstanding hydroelectric potential, which attracted 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 merchants in Quebec City, Joseph Pennoyer collected seven tons of hemp at his sawmill, intended for the manufacture of 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 is Waterville 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 of interesting buildings: the mansard-style Gale family residence, now the Foyer Waterville; the Anglican Church on the corner of Principale and Compton Ouest; a covered bridge dating from the second half of the 19th century; and the Ball residence, a Queen-Anne style house which belonged to the founders of the Dominion Smith company, once a North American leader in scythe handle production. The former Ball residence now houses a bed and breakfast. The nine-hole Bonnie View Golf Club, now known as the Waterville Golf Club, is among Quebec's oldest links. D-1

Families from Saint-Hyacinthe and the Richelieu Valley colonized Weedon Township around 1840. Eventually, the municipalities of Fontainebleau (1997) and Saint-Gérard (2000) joined Weedon to create a larger municipality. Lake Aylmer, Lake Louise, the Salmon River and the St. Francis River cross its fertile lands. A dozen roadside crosses have stood guard over Weedon for Fresque de Weedon (mural paintings) more than 40 years. The Vieux Moulin Park, upgraded in 2007, provides a picnic area and walking trails featuring interpretation panels. In the summer of 2003, Weedon was the site of the opening of the Harfang art gallery and a permanent exhibition space at the Laplante House, a heritage home that also includes a performance space whose stage has been graced by singers and actors alike. Every August, Weedon transforms into the “Village des Daltons” with gymkhana and rodeo competitions for the thousands of visitors in attendance.

La Poudrière (Windsor) and the Watopeka river

Activities at La Poudrière de Windsor

Windsor is perhaps best known for its ultra-modern Domtar fine paper plant. Apart from the Abenaki camps in 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 the Crown. In 1876, when Michel Cloutier, a French-Canadian colonist, acquired land, a rift grew between Francophones and Anglophones, with one side locating in the Township municipality and the other in the village 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 1344 at the request of King Edward III). While the bulk of Windsor's economy is built on the pulp and paper industry 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 Canada around 1864. Attraction: La Poudrière de Windsor (historic park), see page 83

Stéphane Lemire

Wotton owes its name to a village in Surrey, England. Wotton, which was part of the township of the same name, was proclaimed in 1849. The post office was established in 1853, and the municipality in 1855. Initially cleared by seven families of squatters, then by people from seignieuries, Wotton became the first Francophone Township during the area's settlement. It is linked to the Route Verte No 1 through the Asbestos region's cycle network. The birthplace of Maurice O'Bready, innovator and founder of the Université de Sherbrooke, the town also boasts a mansard-style rectory built in 1884 and a church dating back to 1902. A welcoming atmosphere and quality lodgings make this a great four-season stop for visitors.

Lodging x Campground rating program The Conseil de Développement du Camping au Québec (CDCQ) is responsible for applying the rating program for camping establishments. This program rates both the quality of the establishment’s facilities and its offerings in terms of services and activities. As such, campgrounds are rated on a scale of 0 to 5 stars and are evaluated every other year. Note that this rating program has been mandatory since 2004 in accordance with government regulations. This sign ( Á ) identifies campgrounds that are in the process of being evaluated. The (

) category identifies campgrounds reserved for tents.

To know more about the campground rating program and the definitions of the various rating levels, call the CDCQ at 514 252-3333 or visit us on the Internet at: www.campingquebec.com Camping establishment: establishments offering services and fixed campsites for tents, recreational camping vehicles, whether motorized or not. Scale of 1 to 5 stars

$ Rates The price of each unit can vary according to the number of people, the season, the type of plan and the characteristics of the unit. This guide publishes the maximum price of the least expensive unit and the maximum price of the most expensive unit. The price of Bed and Breakfast establishments includes breakfast. Published prices do not include taxes. Prices are given as guidelines only. It is always preferable to contact the establishment directly to find out prices in effect before making your reservations. Since January 2003, the Eastern Townships region has collected a $2 a night tax on lodgings. This tax is dedicated exclusively to the creation of a regional fund devoted to the advertising and development of tourism in the region. Secure Online Reservation:

TRAVEL AS AN

Try something new at least once a year – wise words for a healthy lifestyle. So why not experience travelling around the Eastern Townships through the eyes of local folks?

Meet the people of the Eastern Townships Bed and breakfasts and country inns stand out from other lodging establishments for the warmth and hospitality of the people who run them. Ask questions about their way of life; enquire about their interesting histories and their ancestors who are often related to Loyalists, First Nations and the French who established themselves in the area. Discover what makes people from the Eastern Townships so special.

Luxury and generous breakfasts Worried you’ll have to sacrifice your usual comfort? Let’s set the record straight! When you stay at a B&B or country inn, someone will pamper you night and day. A soft bed, a welcoming atmosphere and generous breakfasts often prepared with local products await.

Manoir victorien 1886

Au Saut du Lit

Valuable advice Are you a curious person by nature? Want to learn more about the culture and people of the Eastern Townships? Then venture off the beaten track. Getting to know the owner of a B&B or country inn could be a great asset, leading you to discover new and original trails.

Try the roads less travelled Many of the B&Bs and country inns are located off the roads most often used by tourists. Uncover hidden country flavours on your visits.

Try it.Live life on Eastern Townships’ time. If you are interested in taking a virtual tour of B&Bs or learning about the services offered, please refer to the list of B&Bs and country inns in the Eastern Townships.
