Heritage Graveyards of Missisquoi County
.
Cemeteries represent religious, artistic and social history. There is a growing concern in Quebec for our vast and varied religious heritage. There are many rural cemeteries that never were affiliated with a church congregation or that have lost their church buildings with the passage of time.
In Missisquoi County, our heritage graveyards are unfortunately slowly crumbling and disappearing from our communities.
The Missisquoi Historical Society has been protecting abandoned heritage graveyards for close to 50 years. In that time, 19 sites have come under the Society’s care and 75 have been identified and documented.
