Description:
In 1977, the Lost Villages Historical Society was created, and a small museum in Long Sault afterwards. The Lost Villages Historical Society carried out a series of interviews with former residents of villages and hamlets flooded for the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project (1958) to document the life of the villages before their disappearance. The Lost Villages Historical Society efforts will preserve these interviews through a transfer to a digital format.
