Dear Visitors,
We are delighted to welcome you to Glengarry County!
Strategically situated between the Ottawa and St. Lawrence
rivers, Glengarry was Ontario’s original settlement and
Canada’s first established county.
We are an area steeped in history, with attractions such
as the Glengarry Pioneer Museum, Nor’Westers & Loyalist Museum and the St. Raphael’s Ruins
reminding us of the importance of heritage.
Pride in our agricultural, Scottish and Francophone roots abounds in numerous local events.
Maxville is home to the world-famous Glengarry Highland Games, the largest Games held outside of Scotland. Williamstown hosts the Williamstown Fair, Canada’s oldest continuous county
fair. Don’t forget to visit the many country yard sales, auctions and farmers’ markets!
We also invite you to share our natural attributes. Take the family for a stroll through the
Glengarry Trails around Loch Garry and the Garry Fen, enjoy a picnic in one of our parks along
the St. Lawrence, or find out more about local wildlife at Cooper Marsh. Enjoy your visit, and come
back to see us soon.

In 1815, Father Alexander Macdonell of St. Raphael’s built a stone gristmill
beside a small pond fed by Loch Garry. The mill and the surrounding area
was appropriately named the Priest’s Mill. When the town incorporated in
1883, its name was changed to Alexandria to honour its founder, Father
Alexander Macdonell. The Mill Square was the heart of the village.
After the town’s incorporation, Alexandria filled with French craftsmen who
were eager to ply their respective trades. The tremendously successful partnership, Munro and MacIntosh, built 6,000 carriages and 5,000 sleighs in 1908.
The “Glengarry Buggy” acquired fame throughout Canada, the United States,
Mexico, Europe and South Africa. The village
St. Finnan’s
boomed! However, with the advent of the autoCathedral
mobile and the Depression, the carriage factory
was forced to close in 1929. Unfortunately, the buildings were demolished in
1938, and no visible landmark remains.
One landmark which has endured in Alexandria is the impressive St. Finnan’s
Cathedral on the corner of St. Paul and Bishop streets. Its first Mass was on
Christmas Day, 1832, and the steeple and bells were erected in 1902.
There was a picnic in
June 1907 to raise
Priest’s Mill
funds for a French
church, Église Sacré Coeur. The first cornerstone
was laid on April 14, 1910, and the structure still
stands today on the southeast corner of Main and
Lochiel Sts.
United Church on the Hill was built in 1912 and
officially became a United church in 1925. The
church is located on the corner of Kincardine St. E
and Dominion St.

ed just east of Bainsville, and
about half a kilometre from the
Ontario/Quebec border.
Owner Bill McKenzie, who
runs the course along with his
wife, Joan, took over the business
in 2001, and has spent the past
decade-plus rejuvenating the
property – improving and maintaining its greens and trimming
its trees.
The nine-hole course, located
on a 32- acre property a couple
kilometres east of the 401 Curry
Hill exit, offers very reasonable
rates and an amenity-filled clubhouse.
For more information, call (613)
347-3254.
The final stop on our course
tour takes us about 30 km northwest of the 401 to the Glengarry
Golf & Country Club in
Alexandria.
Centrally located within an
hour’s drive of both Ottawa and
Montreal, the course was established more than 50 years ago –
the brainchild of seven charter
board directors, including
Eugene Macdonald, former editor of The Glengarry News.
Its first nine holes were opened
for play in 1962, and since then,
the facility has expanded into an
18-hole, semi-private course featuring a scenic backdrop that
includes rolling hills, stands of
both young and mature trees,
and segments of the Delisle and
Garry Rivers – both of which
come into play on many holes;
not to mention Eastern Ontario’s
longest Par 4, ‘The Monster.’

Little Nashville goes rock n roll
Alexandria’s own Little Nashville
Festival is getting a rock-n-roll infusion this year.
Festival co-organizer Pat Quesnel
says that for years, the festival was
a mecca for those who enjoy old
school country music like Dolly
Parton and George Jones.
This year, however, he’s determined to shake things up a little.
And with a group like Quebec’s
own The Wonder’s headlining the
Saturday night show, you can be
sure there will be a whole lotta
shaking going on.
“They did some successful shows
and I thought I would take a
chance,” Mr. Quesnel says. “It’s the
same kind of music (our audience)
was raised on.”
That means you won’t hear any
top 40 fare at the Wonder’s show,
slated to run from 9 p.m. until 12
a.m. on Aug. 30, but you will hear
Quebec band The Wonder’s are slated to play Little Nashville’s Saturday night show.
some Dion, Jerry Lee Lewis and
Elvis Presley.
As for the rest of the concert,
Little Nashville fans can look forward to another lineup of old
school country.
The festival itself runs Aug. 29-31
at the Glengarry Sports Palace right
here in Alexandria.
If you’d like more information, or
if you’d like to buy tickets, visit
http://www.little-nashville.com.
Remember to bring your cowboy
boots, your ten-gallon hat, and – if
you have one – your RV.
There’s plenty of RV parking outside the arena throughout the
length of the festival.
