1. Iroquois Point Cemetery

Iroquois Point Cemetery was founded in 1797 on a high point of land near the St Lawrence River just west of the Town of Iroquois Ontario. Because of its height above the river, its location was not affected by the construction of the St Lawrence Seaway in the 1950’s. The town of Iroquois itself, however, was relocated approximately 1 mile north before the flooding. The current cemetery is a combination of the original United Methodist plot and a Presbyterian cemetery founded in 1874. The three maps shown in the Gallery below pinoint the cemetery in 1879, 1954, and 1978 and although its location is the same on all maps, the surrounding area has changed dramatically. Many prominent United Empire Loyalists and their descendents rest in this cemetery, including members of the Ault family, for whom Aultsville was named. The flooding of the Seaway claimed the town of Aultsville in 1959 but the resulting Island and Park retain the name. See link below for additional information:

2. Lockmaster

This is the former lockmaster's house (also known as Tindall House) on Iroquois Point. It seems to have been converted into some kind of presentation facility over the years. While it may have been an ideal place from which to watch over the old Galop Canal, it is a horrible place for a presentation centre. It now stands empty and forlorn, surrounded by modular fencing and bedecked in some thoughtless graffiti.

3. Pittston - Webb Road Bridge

Deteriorating Warren Through Truss Bridge at was once the intersection of Pittston and Webb roads. Bridge was bypassed when safety measures implemented to eliminate many right angled intersections on country roads were put into effect. Webb Road itself is now seasonal. There does, however, appear to be another bridge further to the SW on a now closed road.
