An exciting bike trip exploring local history, architecture, secret spots and building stones.
The tour starts with ancient fossils at the Redpath Museum, travels along Sherbrooke street west to the Sulpician’s reflecting pool at the Grand Seminaire, heads up the old Indian trail on Côte Ste. Antoine road that leads to Leonard Cohen’s boyhood home, glides downhill through the Glen to McAuslan Brewery for a tasting of 5 different micro-brews, and finishes with the ghosts of Griffintown.
Price: $25 regular or $15 for students /seniors
Includes the popular booklet What Building Stones Tell and beer tasting at the McAuslan Brewery with fresh market bread, fruit and cheese.
Reservations: 514-398-4094 or email: ingrid.birker@mcgill.ca. Limited to 20 participants.
Seriously, this is super-special.
This cemetery contains buried victims of a Small Pox “problem” in the mid-1800s. The Blockhouse that stood at this site served as a medical building.
Life is much easier these days.

This cool video of 1935 Firefighting games provided me with the perfect excuse to post my fire truck pictures. In case you wonder, it’s an AMF Pedal Car circa 1950’s.
