The Lost Villages of the St. Lawrence
The museum consists of ten heritage buildings, communities in the former townships of Cornwall and Osnabruck, which were dismantled and then flooded in July 1958 for the St. Lawrence Seaway and Hydro Electric project being implemented. The Lost Villages Historical Society. Long Sault, Ontario
our history was changed forever when the Lost Villages were submerged in 1958:
Ancient lands of the Mohawk People—obliterated. Locales where United Empire Loyalists forged a new future—lost. Fertile farmland, abundant orchards, old growth forests—drowned. An 1813 battlefield, where the Battle of Crysler’s Farm was waged—submerged. The thundering and once-famous Long Sault Rapids—silenced. Loved ones at rest in their graves, including my grandmother’s “mama,” whom she lost to tuberculosis at age 14—never to be visited again. Source for quote: Readers Digest
