We've gone on a tour of a coal mine, a quarry, and various other such occurances. This tour takes the cake! I learned so much about the region, the copper mining process, and geology!! Our guide was very proficient in English and because there were only six of us who spoke English, we had a very private tour. If you are in the area, this is a MUST! Absolutely worth every penny!!! Oh and if you bring/wear some warmup pants and a sweatshirt, you'll probably thank yourself.

It was the best activity we did in our short stay in Sherbrooke. The murals are located in strategic points that make you walk through the most interesting part of Sherbrooke's downtown.
4. Verger Heath Orchard

5.0 based on 2 reviews
Tucked between Stanstead and Ayer’s Cliff, just five minutes from the border, Verger Heath is a two-century-old, family-owned heritage farm and orchard. Spend hours wandering through thousands of full-grown standard trees in dozens of classic and hard-to-find varieties—including MacIntosh, Cortland, Honeycrisp, Empire, Sunrise, Golden Russett, Kerr Crabapples, Wealthy and Bancroft —all surrounded by sunsets atop rolling hills. After you’ve filled your basket, visit The Stand to peruse handmade pottery, fresh veggies from the garden, jams and jellies, local mushrooms and the famous Heathen Hot Sauce (if you dare!). Call ahead to meet the proprietors, potter, Lynn Heath, and renowned Canadian folk singer Chris Rawlings. Perfect for an authentic orchard afternoon.

Verger Heath Orchard is a family run farm that has been contributing to the landscape of the eastern townships for decades. We first met Lyn at the Ayer's Cliff Market and were compelled to visit their orchard itself the following day to pick our own apples, buy some homemade salsa and jam....and try and make the impossible choice of choosing just SOME of Lyn's gorgeous pottery. I dare you to leave with just one piece. The styles, colours and glazes are a true feast for the eyes. We also were lucky to meet Chris at the orchard....and purchase CDs from this Canadian folk music mainstay! They are committed to their work; knowledgeable about their apples; and a testament to creativity, determination - especially in a summer unlike any other. Visit today!!! Your heart and kitchen will be better for it!

L'abbaye de Saint-Benoit-du-Lac, which dates back to 1912, was established by Benedictine monks who still live and work there today. Their specialty is the production of various cheeses and their apple orchard. Since we were there during the Fall foliage, the place was absolutely beautiful. You can also visit the main corridor of the Abbaye, the chapel between 1 and 4 p.m. and the gift shop from 9 to 4. Worth the short drive (10-15 minutes) from Magog.

The Louis S. St. Laurent National Historic Site of Canada, which is located in Compton, in the Eastern Townships, some 20 km from Sherbrooke, is a living reminder of the life and work of the former Prime Minister of Canada. The rural atmosphere of the village, the charming house in which Louis St. Laurent was born, the once bustling general store.
