Times are changing

Here are some pictures from the past, more than 100 years ago in Bromont and Knowlton.

Bromont

Dr. Edmond Brun was the first mayor of West Shefford after the village was incorporated in 1889. He was a doctor and a pharmacist and, as a relatively wealthy and prominent person, it is normal that he was one of the first to own a motor car in the village, in 1913. He is seen here in front of his pharmacy, located in the house next to his home. Source
