History is the foundation of a region, the roots of a community, the creation of ties to the land and the people who make it home. Every region of Canada has a rich history, passed on from generation to generation through shared stories and songs. In a time when many think the past and the future are separate worlds, Inverness County holds true to its heritage and celebrates the history that has made its people proud, its communities strong and its future a journey along this same bright path.

The History of Inverness County Series is taken from the pages of Partici-Paper, published by the Inverness County Recreation/Tourism Department. Author and former Partici-Paper editor, Mary Anne Ducharme relates tales of days gone by and paints a picture of life in Inverness County for past generations. The history and heritage of a region influence the way its communities evolve and the stories you will find here showcase the proud past of this county and its people.
