Mansonville, QuebecMansonville is a village in the Eastern Townships area of Quebec, Canada, a 90-minute drive southeast of Montreal and a few minutes north of the United States border at Newport, Vermont. Formerly a sleepy community best known for an unusual 19th-century round barn, it has experienced some growth and prosperity because of its proximity to the Owl's Head ski resort. The village grew up around a mill, now closed, on the Missisquoi River, which flows through it just below the mansion of the Manson family that founded the town. The mansion has since become a bed and breakfast. Mansonville, like many Eastern Townships communities, has long had a mixture of French and English-speaking residents, as demonstrated by the presence of Roman Catholic, United and Anglican churches a few yards apart. The village is now part of the regional municipality of Dutton.
