(Meet in the lobby at 10:45 a.m.)
Papineau's tranquil estate comprises his spectacular manor house,
chapel and granary over a sizeable tract of land. The house contains
a ground-floor ballroom, a turreted library tower and a gorgeous
glass tea-room-cum-gazebo nearby that was formerly a three-storey
greenhouse. The Papineau Memorial Chapel , a modest stone building
(1855) nestled among tall pines and maple, is especially remarkable
for being of Anglican, not Catholic, denomination. Photographs and
historical background on the estate and Papineau himself are displayed
in the old Granary building.
