Route
Edwardsburgh/Cardinal is the most rural of the Townships that make
up South Grenville. Traveling along County Road 2, you’ll
come to the Village of Johnstown, the site of the Canadian terminus
of the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge, which runs south
to Ogdensburg, NY. East of Johnstown is Cardinal, a quaint village
dating back to the 1790s. Its heritage is still visible in its old
buildings and the remains of the historic Galop Canal, which runs
along Cardinal’s waterfront. Cardinal is also the final resting
place of the Conestoga, a historic sunken vessel- one of many in
the area- making Cardinal an attractive spot for divers. |
