Chartierville
The municipality of Chartierville was founded in 1870 by Abbot Jean-Baptiste Chartier. Believe it or not, at the time,
many gold miners sought to get rich by panning the Ditton River. The gold mine interpretation centre provides visitors
with the opportunity to learn more about those heady days.
In addition to the gold mine, the magnetic hill is another excellent reason to visit Chartierville. Optical illusion or
magnetic irregularity? The new Magnetic Hill interpretation centre will help you to unravel this mystery.
With its historical gold rush, mysteries, and picturesque hills and
mountains, Chartierville is a lovely out-of-the way destination
that’s worth the detour!
A Must-See in Chartierville
Magnetic Hill Interpretation Centre
A series of coincidences came together in creating the Magnetic Hill phenomenon:
a hidden horizon and a steep slope create a sensory illusion….indulge your sense
of wonder, fun and surprise. The interpretation centre is open from mid-June to midSeptember. The Magnetic Hill experience is available year round.

Cookshire-Eaton
The municipality of Cookshire-Eaton was created in 2002 with the merger
of Cookshire, the township of Eaton, and Sawyerville. These are the oldest
agglomerations in the Haut-Saint-Francois Regional County Municipality (MRC).
It was in 1801 that Josiah Sawyer named his concession Cookshire, in memory
of Captain James Cook, who had accompanied the first English settlers to the
territory. Several families settled here and the village experienced significant
economic growth. Wealthy businessmen of the era ordered the construction of
many buildings that bear witness to the municipality’s rich history.

East Angus
The Town of East Angus was founded in 1912. William Angus, a proud Scottish
industrialist, set the course for the industrial focus of the village by building a
pulp and paper factory on the banks of the Saint François River. Nowadays, while
the paper industry continues to be the economic motor of the town, the future
inclines toward sustainable development in the agri-industrial park.
One of the prettiest churches in the Estrie region is located here: Saint-Louisde-France’s neogothic style is a pleasant surprise for many visitors. The DeuxRivières park, with its many paths, extends over 27 hectares of abundant plant
and wildlife, and offers exceptional views of the surrounding landscapes. The Golf
Club hosts a high-quality 18-hole course. East Angus’s inns, restaurants, stores
and services provide a warm welcome to all visitors.

Canton de
Lingwick
The municipality of Lingwick was founded in 1855. Lingwick Township
includes the villages of Gould and Sainte-Marguerite, with Gould continuing to remind us of the Scottish origins of the first settlers. It was only
in 1886 that the first French Canadian settlers arrived in the area. By
1891, there were 72 Francophones and 950 Anglophones in Lingwick.
Gould is an off-route destination of the Chemin des Cantons, and the
town features several heritage buildings. The Ruée vers Gould Inn has
preserved the original cachet of the general store, built circa 1850. Take
the opportunity to admire Chalmers Church, the old Town Hall, and the
vernacular style homes, then you can discover the town’s three cemeteries and the lookout on the banks of the rivière au Saumon.
The McVetty-McKenzie covered bridge was built in 1893: it’s the longest
covered bridge in the Eastern Townships and one of the most beautiful in
Quebec. Enjoy a picnic at the beautiful site on the banks of the rivière au
Saumon. www.cantondelingwick.com

Scotstown
English gardens, elegant mansions from another era, water gardens, themed flower borders,
colourful planters, four church steeples and a massive chimney... Come and discover these
features and more, in a typical village in the Eastern Townships, nestled at the foot of Mont
Megantic on the banks of the Saumon River.
Scotstown was founded in the late 19th century by Scottish settlers, and in spite of the
inevitable influences of modernization, it still boasts architectural roots that are firmly
planted in the heritage of that era.
The village has two themes to guide tourists on their visit, using gardens and heritage sites.
Use them to discover the history of Scotstown, appreciate and even tour some private gardens,
where enthusiastic gardener-owners will often come out to meet and accompany you. Take time to
smell the flowers: by bike, on foot, or by car or on motorcycle!
Scotstown Market
Organic and health products, fresh fruit and vegetables, perennial plants,
traditional homemade bread, maple products, goat cheeses, and “Achetons
Québec” products from around the province. Local products are a special
feature of this popular market.
Summer season: mid-June to the end of
September (according to the weather), every
Friday from 12:30 to 5 pm. Visit the town’s
website to find out the exact season opening
date.
