Sutton, founded in 1802, is a charming Quebec border municipality covering 235 km². Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Townships, it is renowned for its pastoral landscapes and rich historical heritage. The first settlers, Loyalists from New Hampshire in 1799 (including Richard Shepard, one of the first pioneers to clear the land), were followed by French-speaking settlers in the 1840s, creating a culturally diverse community.

Downtown Sutton, with its boutiques, art galleries and restaurants, offers a warm, authentic atmosphere.

Second empire style and built in 1874 as the Eastern Townships Bank, this remarkable building is a remarkable place to visit and is also the starting point of a heritage tour. Discover the Bruck-Lee permanent collection which consists of more than 75 works (paintings and sculptures). This collection was put together by the Cowansville Art Centre (1956-1979) and presents the works of Alexander Y. Jackson from Groupe des Sept and many artists from Beaver Hall Group.

Since 2009, Lee-Vermeille collection, following a sponsorship project, adds a contemporary component to the museum with its garden sculptures and paintings. The museum also hosts visual arts temporary exhibitions, mainly of artists living in the region.

Cowansville's  history began in 1798 with the arrival of the first settler, the son of a Loyalist named Jacob Ruiter. Cowansville gets its name from the Scotsman Peter Cowan, an influential businessman and later sheriff of the district of Bedford. The village was incorporated in 1876 and became a town in 1931. Cowansville is a bilingual, industrial town today and retains its Loyalist influences with magnificent buildings and affluent homes.

Season 2026: May to October

The first inhabitants of the area were former British settlers who wanted to remain loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution, moving to the Missisquoi area in 1797. The Loyalists cleared the land for cultivation, and thus started an agricultural industry that remains prosperous to this day. The towns in the area are renowned for their Loyalist architecture and origins.

Missisquoi County extended along the American border from Noyan in the west to Frelighsburg in the east and from Saint-Armand in the south to Farnham/Rainville in the north and also included the towns and municipalities of Bedford, Bedford Canton, Cowansville/Sweetsburg, Dunham/Lac Selby, Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge, Philipsburg, Sainte-Sabine, Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge/Mystic, Saint-Pierre-de-Véronne-à-Pike-River, Stanbridge East, Stanbridge Station and Venise-en-Québec.

The Museum contains more than 30,000 artefacts and documents relating to Missisquoi County’s history, located in 3 period  buildings: the Cornell Mill (1830) and Hodge’s General Store (1850) in Stanbridge East; and the Walbridge Barn (1881) located in  the charming hamlet of Mystic in the municipality of Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge.

Long considered the county seat of Missisquoi, Bedford (1890) is located close to the Quebec border with Vermont. The first settler arrived in 1804.

At the end of the 19th century, Bedford was a significant trade centre with its train station, retail stores, agricultural society buildings, Bedford Times head office, branch of the Exchange Bank, office of the Dominion Telegraph Company, tannery, several manufacturing shops, and smelting works.

Surrounding Pinnacle Mountain, the recent municipality of Frelighsburg is the result of a merger of townships and small villages. The original municipality of Frelighsburg was already established in 1845, however, and included the Protestant parish of Saint Armand East. The village is named after one of its first pioneers, Abram Freligh, who came from New York.

Apple production is a major part of the economy, and the village was designated among the most beautiful in Quebec.

It is believed the Algonquin tread the soil of Barnston Township between 1300 and 1680. The Abenaki followed suit, then the Loyalists and Irish, and the Francophone wave began with the expansion of the railway around 1850. Today, residents live in the hamlets of Way’s Mills and Kingscroft, which have been part of Barnston West since 1946. An American manufacturer of tweed and flannel, L. S. Way, arrived around 1808, leaving his name to the village nestled in a bend of the Niger River, which is also crossed by Holmes Road.

The Eaton Corner heritage site is a must-see for history buffs. Established in the 19th century, this area is home to a former Congregationalist church (1840-1841) and academy (1864), both classified as heritage buildings, as well as residences dating from the 1820s to 1860s. These wood-and-brick buildings reflect the typical architecture of the period, with their gable roofs. Located in the village of Eaton Corner, Cookshire-Eaton, this site offers an immersion in the history and architecture of the region, while retaining its picturesque charm. An ideal stopover for heritage enthusiasts!

The Town of Cookshire-Eaton was established following the 2002 merger of the Town of Cookshire with the Municipality of Eaton. Scenic roads cross through its 567 km2 taking travelers through rural communities to discover many interesting sites. Among them is Cookshire, founded by Loyalists, on a route long traveled by the Abenaki who had maintained seasonal camps in the area.

Cookshire was named for Captain John Cook, who, in 1795, was the first settler to acquire land. Today, agriculture and forestry predominate. Several buildings have been designated historic monuments.

The Municipality of Bury is home to a number of houses that reflect a former era and another culture, that of the families who immigrated to the Township of Bury in 1836, prior to founding the municipality of the same name in 1855. Of modest means, the ancestors of Bury residents came from the rural regions of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent in England. After 1837, a few Gaelic families from the Isle of Lewis and Lochbroom settled in the area. They made their living from farming and forestry, as do their descendants today.

Dudswell was founded as a township by John Bishop’s family in about 1865 and established as a municipality in 1895. It encompasses Bishopton (1912) and Marbleton (1895), the latter chosen in 2001 to be part of the Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec network. Both are nestled in the valley of a vast, mountainous area. The rapid evolution of the limestone industry led to development in the Township of Dudswell, attracting French Canadians.

After the Maison de la culture was demolished in June 2020, the municipality decided to make this new public space all about nature, taking steps to naturalize and revegetate the shorelines. Now, it’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the scenery or even take in a spot of fishing. The panoramic sheds circuit uses architectural features to celebrate the landscapes of the Haut-Saint-François region, and one of its highlights is the Dudswell shed, which offers a stunning vista of Lac Adolphe and the hill on the horizon. The walls are hung with interpretation panels and artwork that pay tribute to legendary artist Éva Tanguay.

Éva Tanguay was born in Dudswell in 1878. Her parents emigrated to the United States when she was just four years old. She emerged on the scene as a singer and a theatre actor, and by 1904, had become a household name in the United States and a star attraction in major European cities. At the height of her career, no other artist in the world was more widely imitated—or higher paid.

The Bury heritage tour consists of about twenty stops at memorial sites or in front of buildings chosen for their architectural appeal.

Season 2025: June 20 to September 7

Limestone exploitation has been practiced for a very long time in Dudswell.  
Although the Lime Interpretation Center had to close in 2018, the Miner's Gardens around the Lime Ridge house still remain in place and provide an opportunity to learn more about the history of lime in Dudswell.

The Louis-Émile-Beauregard collection includes 64 miniature works carved in wood. Born in Dudswell, Quebec, Louis-Émile Beauregard began his model collection at the age of 55, depicting scenes of rural life from the 1920s to the 1940s. The artist spends between 40 and 500 hours designing each one.

Visitors can discover these works from June to Labor Day, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and on public holidays.

Patterson, one of the village’s founders. Others say that it refers to the English village of Ulverston. The quality and diversity of its heritage buildings make this one of the most original and picturesque villages in Quebec.

Val-des-Sources (formerly Asbestos) is best known for its mine shaft. Thanks to the Jeffrey Mine, the town can still boast of having the world’s largest open-pit deposit. Asbestos was first discovered in 1879, and William H. Jeffrey began mining it in 1881. Asbestos grew and evolved, transforming from a simple post office to a mining camp, and then from a village to a town. An interesting fact to note is that the name “Asbestos,” which dates back to 1884, originates from an English word derived from Greek meaning “incombustible”!

The Cultural Center houses a collection of minerals from the Jeffrey Mine and products derived from the mining industry, and provides information on local mining history. In addition, art exhibitions are offered to visitors throughout the year.

On June 14, 1902, the Montreal Daily Herald ran the headline, “Danville, one of the most beautiful towns in the province of Quebec.” Danville is located at the edge of the Eastern Townships, where the Bois-Francs region starts. It owes its growth to the arrival of the railway in the mid-18th century. Magnificent Victorian homes and the American-style square continue to bear witness to that era.

Danville has been home to well-known leaders such as Daniel Johnson, premier of Quebec from 1966 to 1968, and Mack Sennett, an icon of Hollywood silent movies.

Take a stroll along the three heritage tours, which will reveal Danville’s exceptional charm with more than 66 buildings of heritage, historical, and cultural interest. The tours take you to buildings of neo-Queen Ann, American vernacular, mansard, neo-Italian, Second Empire, and Boomtown styles. 

Constituted in 1855, the municipality of Potton Township includes the hamlets of Highwater (1927), Dunkin (1796), Knowlton Landing (1821), Vale Perkins (1873), and Mansonville (1811), its county seat which commemorates founder Robert Manson.

The arrival of colonel Henry Ruiter of the British army, fleeing New York after the American Revolution, began settlement in 1790. Then Loyalists and other Americans from Vermont came looking for valuable land.

The pioneers quickly realized the hydraulic potential of the rivers to power the mills that would be key to their new economy.

Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Massawippi, North Hatley stands out with its waterfront lifestyle and almost insular character, where water shapes both the landscape and the identity of the village. Founded in 1897 in the Eastern Townships, this iconic village is an invitation to serenity and poetry.

North Hatley developed thanks to the efforts of pioneers grouped within the Company of Associates. This organization aimed to obtain land grants in Lower Canada. In 1792, Ebenezer Hovey, a militia captain from Connecticut, and Henry Cull submitted a petition to the British Crown to obtain a land concession, which was officially granted to them on March 25, 1803.

The village’s growth accelerated with the construction of a railway, strengthening its reputation as a tourist destination. As a result, North Hatley reached its peak as a vacation resort between 1902 and 1909.

Recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Quebec, North Hatley enchants visitors with its historic architecture, willow-lined shores, and welcoming atmosphere. Fall under the spell of its heritage homes, boutiques, restaurants and cafés, historic churches, and green hills. Here, the art of living blends elegance with simplicity, in a setting where each season unveils its own unique charm.

The first settlers arrived in Ayer’s Cliff in 1797. Several attractions await the visitor : century-old houses, magnificent views of Lake Massawippi, a great bandstand and its famous agricultural fair.

Season 2026: March 4 to December 19

The municipality of Bolton-Est is a crossroads of nature and history located in the Missisquoi River valley, in the heart of the Appalachian corridor. Bolton-Est is renowned not only for the beauty of the land and quality of life, but also for its wealth of history and heritage. Proclaimed in 1797, Bolton Township is the namesake for Bolton-Est and was settled very early by Loyalists.

Since the middle of the 19th century until the second World War, the township of Bolton was subject to a gradual territorial dismemberment which give way to the township of Magog (1849), the municipality of West Bolton (1876), Eastman (1888), Austin (1938) and St-Étienne de Bolton (1939). Today, the municipality of Bolton-Est represents less than 25% or 81km2 (31mi2) of the original area of the township.

The village of Georgeville was first known as Copp’s Ferry in honor of Moses Copp who settled there with his family in 1797. Its current name dates from 1825. Located on the eastern shore of Lake Memphremagog, it was for a long time a direct link for travelers from Montreal to Boston. Its location allows it to avoid commercial tourism while its architecture heritage is of special interest, two significant features which give Georgeville its unique charm.

Founded in the late 19th century, Scotstown is a town deeply shaped by the heritage of settlers from the islands of Lewis and Harris, in northern Scotland.

Once an industrial and railway hub, Scotstown has preserved significant traces of its Scottish and bourgeois past.
