Établi en 1848 pour l’inhumation des Protestants de la ville de Québec et des environs, Mount Hermon constitue un exemple remarquable de petit cimetière rural. Aménagé dans la tradition des cimetières ruraux américains du XIXe siècle, il se caractérise par un relief inégal, des chemins sinueux, des îlots irréguliers, des arbres aux essences variées et une vue spectaculaire sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Insérés dans ce paysage pittoresque propice au recueillement, de nombreux monuments funéraires, d’un grand intérêt artistique, évoquent le souvenir de figures et d’épisodes marquants de l’histoire canadienne.
Inscription on the plaque:
Established in 1848 for the burial of Protestants from the Québec City region, Mount Hermon is a remarkable example of a small rural cemetery. Characterized by its uneven topography, winding paths, islets of differing sizes, variety of trees, and a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River, it is laid out in the tradition of a 19th-century-American rural cemetery. Conducive to contemplation, this picturesque setting contains a number of funerary monuments of considerable artistic interest, which commemorate many notable figures and events in Canadian history.
