Aroostook (Southern Victoria)
Aroostook
The Village of Aroostook was once an important railway centre for the transportation of wood and potatoes. The old railway station, located where the Aroostook Valley and New Brunswick railroads cross, still stands strong and is recognized as 1 of the region’s important historical sites. The International Appalachian Trail, a route cherished by backpacking enthusiasts, also crosses into Aroostook territory. The trail links the 3 highest peaks of the Appalachian Mountain chain: Mont Jacques-Cartier in Quebec, Mount Carleton in New Brunswick and Mount Katahdin in the state of Maine.
