South Dundas Murals: #2. Old Morrisburg - ValuMart Store   

Artist: Cathy Cooper - Scrivener  

 

Morrisburg owes its beginning to the construction of the Williamsburg-Rapide du Plat Canal in the 1850’s & early 1860’s. The mural depicts the shoreline, park, canal, and the town a hundred years later in the early 1950’s, showing the ill-fated Milverion, the Rapids Prince, the Morrisburg-Waddington ferry, and the tug Bartlett, in the foreground.
