Said good bye to Nova Scotia heading to Saint John New Brunswick (our last stop before actually saying good bye to Canada for awhile) But to our surprise, we weren't that impressed with Saint John. As we got our insurance in order to leave the country we were told about this cute little place called St. George along our route to Maine. Another diamond in the rough! Quaint little town on the Magaguadavic River. The river flows through the town and into a large gorge and the St. George Dam at St. George, with cliffs on either side.
Lots to do for such a small place - population only about 1500.
We walked along the St. George trail. This mosaic sign was a community project. Each panel was sponsored by a resident, group or business in the area and many of the materials are recycled treasures from local homes. The panels are different on both sides and there is another one at the other end of the trail.
We walked along the streets enjoying all the historical places. St. George was nick-named Granite Town as in the past it was the center of the red granite industry. This is the Granite Town Hall.
A short drive out of town we found this cute little covered bridge.
