Book Description
Champlain, named for explorer Samuel de Champlain, has a rich history shaped by war, the Canadian border, and the French ancestry of many of its residents. The Great Chazy River runs through the heart of Champlain, making it an inviting location for early settlers on the northern frontier. Founded in 1788, it was on the front lines for the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and even the Civil War. Once known for a graceful main street lined with stately elms, it was primarily an agricultural community with other supporting industries, including one of the country's first ski manufacturers, a boatyard, and iron and metalworking factories. Champlain chronicles the town and village through images of its homes, businesses, churches, and people over the past century and a half.

Franco-Americans in the Champlain Valley
Author: Kimberly Lamay Licursi and Celine Racine Paquette, Foreword by
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467127868
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Read the story of French Canadian migration into the Vermont and New York with photographs of their vibrant heritage. French Canadian migration into the Champlain Valley in Vermont and New York from the 1850s onward changed the landscape of the Northeast in significant and often subtle ways. As a substantial part of the labor force, Franco-Americans harvested the lumber and mined the stone that built the North Country of both states. They built elaborately appointed churches that served as cornerstones of their communities and a testament to their deep religious faith. They were professionals who ran businesses on the main streets of the bucolic villages and towns around Lake Champlain, as well as farmers and mill workers who eked out a life toiling in the dirt and in textile factories. They formed innumerable fraternal organizations and societies like the Union St. Jean Baptiste and the Champlain Chevaliers to preserve their culture and religion, often in the face of discrimination. The photographs in this volume document their vibrant heritage.
