noble salvage (11/17/2020)
River Denys. The remainder of a small pioneer village, a village that once was. The Church was built in 1841. This area was settled much earlier. According to local residents in this area, over 100 farms, and families, used to reside, in, and around this amazing place. Remarkably Located Around 4-5 miles off the 105 highway, basically in the middle of a forest. Nothing around for miles in any direction. Rough travel, on a dirt road, mainly used now for atv's, snowmobiles etc. You'll see old side roads along the way in. These were some of the roads, where original settlers homes once stood. Stop, and take in the serenity. Sit, listen, and take in the past. The place allows you to experience history, like few others places can do. Highly recommend a visit. The photo with the 5 men, standing alongside this church, in this picture from the 1860's, are some of the first settlers to the area.

Very difficult to find. Road is not much of a road anymore. Although the history of the church, along with the age, makes this very special to visit. Would recommend to anyone interested in the History of Cape Breton Island.
