A legacy to explore

The Brome-Missisquoi region is the gateway to the Eastern Townships, with breathtaking landscapes and so much to discover! Four museums present the area’s history and heritage, and shine the light on arts and culture in the community.

The Bruck Museum is an art and heritage museum set in a beautiful historic house in Cowansville, in the Eastern Townships.

The Sutton Museum of Communications and History presents the area’s culture and heritage, and the people who helped shape its past.
