 My hometown is 25 miles to the north.  This is where my father's family had a large trucking business.  Some of the most bucolic countryside in the Eastern Townships is just north of Stanstead.  There are little villages on the various watercourses, with small odd-shaped fields, and productive farms.  One farmer's circular dairy barn survives.
