Saint John Valley

Up the beautiful Saint John valley from the port of Saint John to Edmundston at the head of the river. History is always with us in this Maritime area--Saint John reminds us of Champlain, of the coming of the Loyalists; Fredericton, the capital, in its Centennial celebrations recalls its early days as a British garrison town; and up-river in Madawaska County we see the old handicrafts of the French settlers. Modern farming methods, a booming pulp-mill and New Brunswick's salmon fishing show life in this area of fertile fields and flowing waters.
