Educational television program which examines Canadian historical sites and their significance in history. Two young people, Angela Fusco and John Kastner, visit the Chateau de Ramezay in Montreal and report on two of its former occupants, Claude Ramezay and Lord Elgin. Aerial shots of Montreal with sequences inside the museum itself where John explores the Indian room and discovers an Iroquois war club. Angela looks at various artifacts in the Chateau's kitchen and examines a desk previously owned by Sir Guy Carleton. She recounts the later history of the house including its American and British occupation. Dramatized are Lord Elgin's refusal to sign the Rebellion Losses Bill in 1847, with actors portraying a scene in which Lord Elgin seeks refuge from angry French merchants at the Chateau, and Claude de Ramezay's meeting with a French fur trader in 1689 and subsequent decision to build Fort Chambly.
