This quiet and charming town, at the confluence of the Avon and St. Croix rivers, has a truly British look with its houses scattered on perfectly manicured green lawns, shaded by beautiful trees. Some of them, with their colonnaded galleries, bear the imprint of the American loyalists. It also preserves beautiful houses, like the house of Judge Haliburton, now a museum. The British did not arrive here until 1750, when Charles Lawrence built Fort Edward, as the area had been in British possession since 1713. It was at Fort Edward that the Acadians were rounded up in 1755 before being deported.
