CIMETIÈRE MOUNT PLEASANT Conçu par Henry Adolph Engelhardt et inauguré officiellement en 1876, ce cimetière est un remarquable exemple d’aménagement inspiré des cimetières-jardins européens et américains du XIXe siècle. Le terrain légèrement ondulé contribue à créer une ambiance pittoresque, tout comme les chemins et sentiers sinueux, la variété d’arbres, les fleurs ornementales et les vues panoramiques. Plusieurs des monuments et mausolées honorent d’éminents personnages associés à l’histoire locale, provinciale et nationale. Une promenade dans ce paisible lieu de contemplation permet d’apprécier comment ce trésor culturel a évolué dans le temps.
