The town of Lac Brome was established in 1971, after the seven villages and hamlets of Bondville, East Hill, Foster, Fulford, Iron Hill, West Brome, and Knowlton were merged. First settled by Americans in the late 1700s and later populated by the British in the early 1800s, the town’s rich heritage can still be admired in the impressive homes and public buildings that have been preserved from its early days.
Surrounded by the spectacular Appalachian Mountains to the south, Mont Brome to the west, and Mounts Foster, Gauvin, and Glen to the east, Lac Brome is centred around a pristine lake offering endless recreation options, including some of Quebec’s best sailing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. In the Winter, visitors can enjoy skating, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing on the frozen lake, or take in the annual Polar Beach Party celebration. The peaceful wooded paths on the eastern side of the town are ideal for hikers, spanning the enchanting Quilliams-Durrell Nature Reserve and Trestle Cove, while the expansive 51 km Lanterne Rouge cycling route offers an incomparable nature experience.
The historical village of Knowlton is the cultural heart and historic centre of Lac Brome, known for regal Victorian homes, antique shops, theatres, museums, galleries, art studios, boutiques, and restaurants. History-lovers will enjoy the numerous historical tours offered in Knowlton, showcasing the town’s many buildings dating back to the mid-1800s, such as the stunning Gothic Style St. Paul’s Anglican Church, built in 1842. Antique collectors can explore the area’s impressive vintage and antique shops spanning the 15 km stretch of roads between Knowlton and West Brome.
