Principal topics of this fascinating heritage circuit: the religious diversity of the village and the impact of the First World War on its inhabitants.

Do you hear the cries of the colonists' children on their long crossing over the mountains? The beating of drums on the battlefields of the First World War? The sound of horses hooves? And here comes the preacher who will be your guide on this journey of exploration.

It is possible to divide the circuit into four segments and follow each individually however the first stop provides a portrait of the region that will help understand the circuit in its entirety.

You can try a sample of the circuit on the GuidiGo website.

This circuit has been made possible thanks to the financial contribution of the Government of Canada, the Town of Sutton and the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.
