It is not a place for tourists, nothing interesting to visit while it’s a very vulnerable location as it’s an International border which it doesn’t look like! I’ve strongly advised to not to be even close to that area. Better go more North and enjoy the beautiful locations around Magog or few kilometres go East and visit Lake Lyster with amazing view.

The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a neoclassical building that straddles the international border in Rock Island (now part of Stanstead), Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont. The Opera House opened on June 7, 1904, and was deliberately built on the borderbetween Canada and the United States. It was declared a heritage building by both countries in the 1970s.[SOURCE: Wikipedia]
Feedback:
Not a place for tourists. It is private property so photography is prohibited. Even on the outside. It is only meant for the community as a typical library so not a place where tourists are wanted. Do not go as a tourist to take pictures. They do not want you there.

Unique cross-border experience
Feedback:
Library staff are friendly. The opera house has interesting history and kept well after more than 100 years! The only issue is with the google map route. If visiting from Canada, try searching Stanstead South United Church in google maps instead, which is two minutes away from the library and inside Canada. Otherwise the map may show the path that crosses US border.

DO NOT COME ALONE if you are not bilingual. I was the only English speaker at the time I came, and the tour guide decided that he would spent most of his time with other French speakers, speaking, well, French. It is understandable why it was like that since there was a lot more French speakers than me, and others do deserve to be served, but it still sucks for me, since I effective got a tour in a language that I do not understand. DO NOT COME ALONE if you are not billingual, since you might just be ignored. Come as a group instead.
Feedback:
(Translated by Google) Beautiful building with a bit of history related to the opera room.Curiosity to see the border pass directly to the center of the building.One of the only times you can cross the US border without paper since the entrance to the building is on the American side.(Original)Beau building avec un peu d'histoire lié à la salle d'opéra.Curiosité que de voir la frontière passer directement au centre du building. Une des seule fois ou tu peux passer la frontière américaine à pied sans papier puisque l'entrée de la bâtisse est du côté américain.
