Parc historique Gagnon Historical Park

 Gagnon is a small village near Ottawa that started in the 1880s from two sawmills along the CN railway line.   It became kind of a ghost town when the cheese factory closed in the 1940s and gradually the village dwindled in population - this park was set up in 2001 to commemorate the village.

Little library by a nice bench.

125 cm saw blade from the Shaver mill that was one of the founding industries of the village.
