Buttermilk Falls entering the Salmon River. A challenging run. Lower Salmon River. Get ready, get set, goooo...... Waterfront house in Newburgh built in 1885 making it one of the newest stone structures in the village. It was blacksmith shop for a long time, then Finkle's Carriage works and a fire hall. Looks very European. The Salmon River almost dried out after a long hot dry summer. This beautiful stone bridge built in 1891 for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT) when the line became double tracked. The original line from Montreal reached Kingston in 1855. The GT went bankrupt in 1912, and CNR took over. It now carries some of the heaviest rail traffic in Canada even yet, from Windsor to Quebec. On Little Creek Road.
 
The Strathcona Paper plant is a bustling place and has a long history of using recycled paper to make box board for cereals and soap boxes. It's origins were in Newburgh in 1873 by John and James Rooklidge. This was know as Napanee Mills in 1878. The Centreville Agricultural Society still holds it's annual fall fair here at the end of every August. Established 1853. Canadian Pacific Rail bridge over Salmon River in March. It connects Toronto with Ottawa. A pumpkin patch on Little Creek Road, October. Selby United Church, started out as a CM Church, 1875. Looks well maintained.
 
Over 300,000 chickens at River Valley Farms need a lot of grain. The whole operation was spotlessly clean and tidy. Little Creek and a big modern beef farm. The clay soils here are quite productive. One room school built 1897. Jubilee S.S. No. 15, meaning school # 15 in the Jubilee area, School sections generally drew children from a 2 mile radius. Now closed. Original mile stone dated 1837. Canada's first macadamized (paved) toll road. One side has K XIX meaning 19 miles to Kingston, the other side has N IV meaning 4 miles to Napanee. Horse drawn wagons did not have odometers. This rather unattractive bridge was built for the CNR railway which now only serves the Goodyear tire plant and Strathcona Paper. The rail line was originally the Napanee-Tamworth and Quebec Railway (NTQ) from 1879 to 1883, bought by the Bay of Quinte Rw (BQ) which went from Deseronto, to Tamworth, Tweed and Bannockburn starting in 1881. It was taken over by Canadian Northern Rw (CNoR) in 1914 and CNR in 1956.
