        History

        The Boys' Farm and Training School, now Shawbridge Youth Centres, is a farm in Shawbridge, Quebec. It was originally used either as a training home for underprivileged, wayward, and orphaned boys or as a youth detention center. Criminals under the age of 21 were sent there to serve time for charges such as robbery, assault, or theft. The houses on the farm were built from local materials such as red bricks and fieldstone quarried from the rock falls of the Piedmont mountain cliffs right behind Shawbridge.
