Musée Colby-Curtis — Attraction in Stanstead (Ville)

First time at the museum located in a former Victorian mansion owned by a wealthy ET family. It's now managed by the Stanstead Historical Society.

My companion and I were given a tour of a exhibit featuring early local women groups. A multi-media treat for anyone interested in early ET history. The exhibit on the second floor covers two rooms filled with memorabilia, posters, texts and photographs.

The tour guide was informative and engaging, fully bilingual and personable. A real gem!

I really enjoyed it... Will definitly go back...
