No Gas Today

Pigeon Hill, Quebec

 

Pigeon Hill was settled in the early 1800s by English and Dutch speaking farmers from Columbia and Dutchess Counties in New York. Today it has about 25 houses.

 

Pigeon Hill residents were forced into hiding during the Fenian raids of 1866. The Fenians, Irish-American Civil War veterans, planned to conquer Canada (British North America) and trade it to the British government for Irish independence.

this looks like 44 cents for an Imperial gallon -- which is about 20% bigger than a US gallon.
