(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.
*Followed by lunch on the terrace of the main dinning room.
