Francis H. Clergue arrived in the Sault in 1894 and established the Lake Superior Power Company and the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp and Paper Company Limited, building his own machine shop and foundry to create the machines he needed to run the businesses. Today, the property features pubs, restaurants, event spaces, The Rink and the train station.

Come and explore the new home of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 — complete with a museum where you can learn about the Sault’s miliary service over the years. Part of their new home is also an award-winning residential facility. In addition to museum artifacts, more military artifacts and exhibits will be available in the adjacent meeting rooms.

The rapids at the mouth of the Saint Mary's River have been the key factor in Sault Ste. Marie's history. The city was named after them, too ("sault" is the 17th-century French word for "rapids"). For Digital Doors Open, choose from one of four online tours — or do them all — Sault Rapids, Stroll down Queen Street, Downtown Murals or Waterfront Attractions. You can find them all here. Or you can download the app (from the App Store or Google Play) and take actual walking tours in your own time, at your own speed. However you do them, have fun exploring Sault Ste. Marie! This OnThisSpot project is a partnership with the Sault Ste. Marie Downtown Association, the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, and Tourism Sault Ste. Marie.
