Old Stone Chimney

"Lost in Time" are the words best used to describe the old stone chimney, located next to Kathy's Korner Gas Bar on Highway 2. There is little documented history about this mysterious stone chimney, standing alone near the Montreal River. The local elders speak of a time during the early 1900's, when Catholic Missionaries frequented the area of the River spreading the gospel to the First Nations people. It was about this time a church was erected at the present day location of the Riverside Motel (adjacent to Kathy’s), however the church was destroyed by fire and the only remnant is the stone chimney. In addition to the church, a cemetery was also located on the site; these unmarked graves have since been relocated and given a proper burial.
