How it Looks Today.

What Was Lost: View Down the Old Main Street. 

What Was Not Lost: Unlike Most of the St. Lawrence Seaway "Lost Villages",
Much of the Residental Area was not Lost - With Many of the Striking Old Residences and Churches.

Today: Looking West Along Lakeshore Drive (The Old Queens Highway)

Today: Looking North from the River.
