This art gallery is in the historic 19th-century Eastern Townships Bank building downtown. It displays both works of universal value and local flavor, focusing on the works of artists of the Eastern Townships, but also exhibiting other works. A dozen or so exhibitions are circulated through the lower two floors each year, while the third floor houses the museum’s permanent collection, featuring works by Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960), from Melbourne in the Eastern Townships. $6, seniors/students $5.

This forest is considered as being one of only two 'Ancient forests' in an urban area in the whole province. The forest's 8 trails have a total length of 6.1 km.
This wetland is home to many plants and animals, and makes for a delightful walk in spring, summer or fall.
Fast food. Order poutine with frite bien cuit, sauce barbeque, sauce à part for maximum enjoyment. Pizzas are passable, and be sure to try their extra hot sauce suicide. However, the spare-ribs have an excellent sauce, heavy on molasses falvour. Pastas, grilled chicken, submarine sandwiches.
Three locations on rue King (1875 rue King Ouest, 260 rue King Ouest, 386 rue King Est) serving classic greasy-spoon diner fare such as burgers, hot dogs, and poutine. The locations are very clean and the atmosphere is good.
Belgian and French cuisine. This restaurant is not a real Quebecois affair but somewhere you can have Moule et frite (mussels and French fries) at less than $20 and you bring your own wine. It is recognized by Sherbrooke people to be the best value for your money and great food. You must make reservation in advance if you want to eat here during the weekend and during the month of November and December as many Christmas parties are celebrated there.
