Knowlton (Lac-Brome)
Knowlton
A United Empire Loyalist village on the shores of Brome Lake, with a Victorian main street lined with antique shops and famous for its Brome Lake duck.
Knowlton is the center of the Brome Lake area, founded in the 19th century by United Empire Loyalist settlers. The main street preserves Victorian-style storefronts and the old courthouse, and is lined with antique shops, galleries, bookstores and cafés that come alive on weekends. Brome Lake duck is a Quebec specialty, and the Duck Festival in late September lets you sample all kinds of duck dishes. The town has the Brome County Historical Museum, and there is a sandy beach on the lake. Free admission. About 60 km from Sherbrooke.
