 park, landmark
Once known as "Amherst Corners," Victoria Square has been a landmark as early as 1788. It was renamed in 1887 in honour of Queen Victoria's Jubilee. A bronze statue was erected here in 1924, which is said to be modeled after Captain Curry of the 85th Highland Brigade who was the son of Senator Curry, the donor of the statue.

  • Just a thought... could a few large flower pots be placed in the park to "soften" the look? To the Mayor and team...you are doing a fabulous job at perking our town up...Keep up the good work. Sincerely...Loran and Florence Anderson
