After kick-starting historical walking tours with locals a couple of years ago, Brome-Missisquoi resident Patricia St-Onge has launched an official website, Eastern Townships Tours, to bring new experiences to residents and tourists alike.
With a passion for history, St-Onge was offering walking tours to locals that wanted to discover the stories and landmarks of the Eastern Townships, including a Potton Springs site tour in 2022. At the end of last summer, St-Onge purchased a van and experimented with a full-day tour, which was a success, she told CIDI.
Wanting to showcase the Eastern Townships to people from outside the region, St-Onge created the central platform and developed two full-day tours – with some special events along the way – that incorporate the history and introduce new collaborations with local businesses, providing tour participants with the opportunity to discover what they have to offer.
