"Legend has it that the colony was to be the new safe haven for Queen Marie Antoinette, refuge from “The Terror” of the French Revolution. But she “danced with Mdm. Guillotine” very early on in the colony’s history, so it’s unlikely. But it makes for a great story!

You can see the French Azilum historic site just to the left of the bend in the river as looking upstream. The tall white house just past the red barn is Laporte House. It was built in 1836 by the son of one of the original refugees. You can probably also make out the picnic pavilion and the late 1700’s era log cabin used to tell the history."
