Prescott-Russell is a county in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It has a population of about 90,000 (2016). It is just east of the national capital city of Ottawa, and south (across the Ottawa River) from the province of Quebec. The Saint Lawrence Seaway (and the state of New York) are a short distance to the south.
Fromagerie St-Albert
This farmers' co-op has been operating since 1894 and has won international awards for its cheeses, which are mostly cheddar. It is a popular stop, mainly for a restaurant whose speciality is poutine, french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. That is originally a Quebec dish but some claim this place, in a mostly French-speaking part of Ontario, has the world's best.
By train
While less convenient, you can enter the county by train. There is only one train station in the county, at Casselman.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
