Our chalets are in Old Barns, Colchester County, just 3 km south of highway 236, on a portion of Lot 18 as shown on the Truro township plan dated August 12, 1788. The properties in the vicinities of Irwin Lake have provided a valuable timber resource for more than 200 years and still do today. Settlement around Irwin Lake eluded the New England Planters of the 1760s as well as the Acadians a century before.
