Haskell Free Library and Opera House

Founded in 1901, the Haskell Free Library and Opera House serves the cultural needs of people living on both sides of the Canada-US border, in both English and French. It ensures access to information and reading material, provides a broad range of services, offers diverse programming, and supports the visual and performing arts. As a heritage building and a cultural centre, the Haskell Free Library and Opera House play a crucial role in enriching the lives of its members and the community.

Prepare to be impressed! The Queen Anne-style building straddles the international border, which is marked by black line on the floor. The building entrance is on the American side. However, visitors can park at 6 Phelps Street in the town of Stanstead, on the Canadian side, and proceed to the entrance under the watchful eye of border officers. Guided tours for groups available by reservation.
