Tour virtuel #2 : Les Moulins ruraux des Cantons
--le 15 avril 2020.
La plupart des plus anciens villages dans les Cantons-de-l'Est doivent leur établissement à la présence d'un moulin. Rappelons-nous, entre autres Sherbrooke (Hyatt's Mills), Cowansville (Ruiter's Mills) et Rock Island (Kilborn's Mills). D'autres hameaux tels que Denison's Mills, Way's Mills et Kinnear's Mills doivent même leur nom aux premiers propriétaires des moulins.

Lower St. Lawrence Heritage Trail
River and sea run together in the broad waters of the Lower St. Lawrence. Though fields first cleared by French farmers 250 years ago still ripen in rolling strips of green between historic towns and villages, a number of these settlements also have Anglophone roots, some dating to the close of the Seven Years’ War.

Intro
Peace between the Iroquois and New France cleared the way for the colony’s westward growth.
In the early 1700s, French colonists left fortified settlements near Montreal to clear new farms on the east tip of the land wedge between the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers.
