The Lost Villages Museum tells the story of over 6500 people from 11 villages that were displaced to allow for one of the largest engineering projects undertaken in its day - The St. Lawrence Seaway and International Hydro Electric Project.
These Lost villages were the communities of Mille Roches, Moulinette, Wales, Dickinson’s Landing, Farran’s Point, and Aultsville; the hamlets of Maple Grove, Santa Cruz and Woodlands; and the farming community of Sheik’s/Sheek’s Island. Casualties of progress, the villages and hamlets disappeared beneath the waters of the newly created Lake St. Lawrence, but they stayed alive in the memories of their former residents and now through the historical presentations in the Lost Villages Museum.
Enjoy your walk back through time!
The cache container is a cammoed Loc n' 'Loc containing small trade items and special coins commemorating the Inundation.
