The perfect countryside day trip
Got a few hours? Take a countryside road trip that will put you on a sensory journey through Prescott-Russell. Be in awe of the giant artworks painted on farm silos.
See the glowing fields. Smell the heat burning the long grass. Knock on a few producers’ doors to taste the counties.
The United Counties of Prescott and Russell are centrally located between Montreal and Ottawa.

“We think the Popsilos project is a wonderful idea because it will bring public art to rural communities that are often left out from monumental art projects. Painting tall silos situated against the beautiful Canadian landscape is a stunning way to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary through art, and also a way of getting primarily urban painters to reconnect with their earthly roots.”
