Cornwall and SDG Counties

This designated library sits on a former orphanage site that was then acquired by the federal government to house a post office in 1953. In 1997, after the post office had moved to another location and following extensive renovations, the library moved into this building, making it Cornwall's downtown jewel. Guided tours only. Registration required (9:45 a.m. and 2 p.m.).

The Cline House was built in 1854; it remained in the Cline family until 1955 when the Library Board took possession. This fine Regency-style building is characterized by a low hip roof and central entrance. One of Cornwall's finest homes, Cline House was once the location of the Simon Fraser Centennial Library. Today, it is a thriving art gallery.

The Martintown Mill, built in 1846 by Alexander McMartin, is located in the centre of the village of Martintown in a picturesque setting on the Raisin River. Built with local fieldstone, it served the region as a flour milling operation. Commercial use of the mill ended in 1947. It is now a popular museum and tourist destination.

This site comprises 10 heritage buildings that were moved here by members of The Lost Villages Historical Society when the St. Lawrence Seaway was developed in 1958. Casualties of progress, the villages and hamlets disappeared under water but are remembered by former residents. The interiors and exteriors have been restored, and the buildings have been assembled in a village-like setting.
