Area Information
Location: United Empire Loyalists, Jonas and Sarah Wood, arrived at the future site of Cornwall in 1784. Here, along with hundreds of other Tory refugees, they drew lots for their new homesteads, replacing the property they lost in the former 13 Colonies. The first bridge across the St. Lawrence River was built in 1898. On September 6, 1898, it collapsed while under construction, claiming 15 lives. The swing bridge that was built in its place fell on June 23, 1908, when the drawbridge wheel slipped into the river on the Cornwall side. The massive wheel lies barely beneath the surface, and can still be seen today from the bicycle path along the river’s bank. Cornwall Community Museum |
