Napierville Historique
Attraits patrimoniaux
Napierville est un lieu important de l'histoire des patriotes. Dés juillet 1937, les patriotes y tiennent des assemblées. En février de l'année suivante, les autorités gouvernementales envoient 300 hommes à Napierville pour empêcher la tenue d'assemblées patriotiques. Le 10 novembre 1838, Colborne et ses troupes arrivent à Napierville et c'est le début de la répression. Plus d'une vingtaine de maisons furent pillées et incendiées. Cent cinquante ans après les événements de 1837-1838, un groupe de citoyens décidait de souligner à Napierville le 150e anniversaire des Patriotes. Un monument commémoratif installé à l'ancien parc Louis-Cyr, devenu la « Pointe des Patriotes », fut dévoilé le 5 novembre 1988.
