Created by the Eastern Townships Resource Centre in 2022, this travelling exhibition explores a history that has often been overlooked, despite the important role the Eastern Townships have played in Black history across the Americas. Developed by Dr. Sunita Nigam and Fabian Will, the exhibition brings together the work of historians, academics, artists, and heritage organizations to share stories of Black communities and individuals whose experiences have helped shape the region. Through documents, photographs, and personal narratives, visitors are invited to discover a richer and more complete picture of the Townships' past.

Explore the history of the British Home Children, a mass immigration program that brought nearly 100,000 children from the United Kingdom to Canada between 1869 and 1936. The program placed children in homes and farms as labourers. One such Distribution Home was located in Knowlton, welcoming nearly 5,000 children until its closure in 1915. The exhibit pairs historical fact with the stories of Home Children who lived in the area, as told by their descendants.
