V. Attractions
1. Missisquoi County Museum
₋ Located just an hour from Montreal in Quebec’s beautiful Eastern Townships along the Route des Vins (wine route) and the Chemin des Cantons (Townships Trail), the Missisquoi County Museum invites you to discover the historic diversity and delights of this charming region.
₋ Headquartered in an 1830 three-story red-brick grist mill in Stanbridge East, the Missisquoi County Museum features exhibitions and education programmes which explore the many individuals and events that contributed to the historic development of Missisquoi County.
₋ The Missisquoi History Society (MHS) is dedicated to the acquisition, conservation, presentation, interpretation, education and dissemination of the history and heritage of Missisquoi County. We believe that history is continually evolving and to this end, we offer programs, research and exhibits that celebrate our past and our present in Missisquoi County for present and future generations.
₋ The mission of the Missisquoi Historical Society revolves around the management of three places: the Cornell Mill, Hodge’s General Store and the Walbridge Barn. Three main orientations guide our actions in these three places: the history and heritage of families and important figures and enterprises in the Cornell Mill; daily and business life in Hodge’s General Store, as well as farming and the accomplishments of Alexander Walbridge in a unique heritage barn. The Cornell Mill, Hodge’s General Store and the Walbridge Barn are collectively recognized as the Missisquoi Museum (created in 1964), a place where the MHS collections and archives are presented and accessible to the public.
₋ In spite of drifting snow and severe cold, thirty-nine people gathered on a January morning in 1960 at the Bedford High School to discuss the revitalization of the dormant Missisquoi Historical Society. Founded in 1899, the Society was active until the beginning of World War I and while not dissolved, it became idle for nearly 50 years. Interest to revive the sleeping historical society began at the Cowansville Community School in the history classes offered by Marion Phelps and Gerald Hawke.
₋ Strengthened by a renewed commitment from community volunteers, a new bilingual constitution restated the Missisquoi Historical Society’s dedication to preserve its local history. By the autumn of 1961, a temporary museum was established in a school house in Dunham, Quebec and the Society published its sixth annual and illustrated report. The Missisquoi County Museum was opened officially by Kenneth Baker Q.C. of Montreal in October 1962.
₋ The vision of the first board of directors was to collect objects and documents pertaining to all history relating to Missisquoi County and in particular to the Loyalist settlement history and the early families that farmed and settled the county in the 18th and 19th centuries. Fittingly then, the first object given to the Museum and assigned a catalogue number was a late 18th century threshing flail donated by Foster Wightman in June 1964.

2. Vignoble de l'Ardennais
₋ Located in the Eastern Townships, in Stanbridge East, the estate owes its name to the founder of the vineyard, François Samry from the Ardennes. Since 1995, some 15,000 vines line up on the hillsides and enjoy the sweetness of Lake Champlain, not far from there, and the pond nearby.
₋ We are, Pier and Stephanie, two enthusiasts who have always dreamed of a great land. Being restaurant owners in the past only made us closer to our dream. In order to succeed in our project we had the chance to experience a gradual transfer. This allowed us to make the most out of the knowledge and secrets of the vineyards owners Lucie Larose and Gary Skinner; Who have known the land for over 15 years. With passion and hard work they developed this amazing vineyard.

3. Mount Pinnacle
₋ The Pinnacle is a mountain in Frelighsburg, Quebec, Canada. The mountain has an elevation of 712 metres and covers an area of 22 square kilometres. The Pinnacle was originally inhabited by the Abenaki tribe and is considered one of the few remaining unspoiled mountains in southwestern Quebec.
₋ An obsure peak right on the US - Canadian border in the Eastern Townships of the Provence of Quebec presents a variety of options to the summit. There are easy walking trails (blue markers) to the summit which overlooks Lac Lister and the US to the south and Baldwin Mills pond to the east. There are also more challenging trails as well (red markers). There are also multiple rock routes on the south side (lake). These routes are subject to closures due to Peregrine Falcon nest sites. Great care is taken to avoid disturbing these birds especially during nesting periods. Very short hike. Took 1 hour to the summit with a 4-year old. The trails and routes are open from April to the end of November. Parking: 1883 May Road, Baldwin Mills. Which is situated next to the churchyard 250 metres just down from the trail head.

VI. History
₋ Frelighsburg is on land that was originally inhabited by the Abenaki. It was established as a colony in the late 1790s by American Loyalists, including pioneer Abram Freligh, a physician of German origin who lived in Clinton, New York. The sawmill built by his son in 1839, and several other buildings from the 19th century are considered historical monuments. Prior to being named Frelighsburgh it was named Conroy's Mills, named after another mill owner, and Slab City because of the great quantities of sawdust and slabs (slang for bark) that were there.
₋ Incorporated in 1806, Frelighsburg was originally settled in the 1790s by American Loyalists, including Abram Freligh, a physician of Dutch origin, who moved from New York State and gave his name to the village. The stone mill built by his son, Richard, in 1839 at the river’s edge is a registered historic monument. The Anglican (1880) and Catholic (1883) churches whose spires crown this jewel of a village, attest to the cultural diversity that remains an important part of its fabric to this day. Other highlights include the Joseph Landsberg general store (1879), at one point of the most important general stores in the region, as well as the convent (1914), now the elementary school in the village.
₋ Over 200 years later, Frelighsburg maintains its historic architectural integrity that blends wood and brick construction in a Loyalist style. While remaining an important apple-growing agricultural region, the beauty and charm of the village and the surrounding rolling hills has attracted new residents from many other areas, including a rich community of artists. In addition to Frelighsburg’s historic heritage, tourists and visitors are drawn by the combination of charming landscapes, local food and drink specialties, galleries and a stunning natural setting.
