PHOTOS COURTESY By Ocean Francoeur Special to The Record The new Copp\u2019s Ferry Museum in Georgeville was founded just last March and features a permanent exhibit about the history of the town.Now, their new exhibit beginning in June, Farming in the Eastern Townships: A retrospective, will explore how farming has shaped the landscape of not only Georgeville, but the Townships as a whole and the families who reside within.The project is a collaboration between Princess Elizabeth Elementary School and the new museum.PEES students from Grades 3 to 6 have been exploring the Townships\u2019 farming legacy and discovering how farming has impacted their own families.\u201cWe have a mandate at the museum to have an educational branch,\u201d said Copp\u2019s Ferry Museum advisor, Gretchen Hatfield.\u201cI thought it was important to have the children give thought to where their food comes from.The farming industry is woven not only in family histories, but that of the Townships as well.I myself have a deep personal love for farming.My grandparents had a farm.\u201d PEES students have been researching and creating family trees, discovering along the way which \u201cbranches\u201d connect to farming.They will be painting farm-themed \u201cphoto- op\u201d carnival cut-outs, the kind you can put your face in and take funny pictures.8 B.C.N./The Record - Summer Edition (June 2018) Need an American address for your next online purchase?With prices starting at $5 per package, you can use ours!
