The Haskell Free Library and Opera House, established in 1901, is a unique cultural institution that stands astride the Canada-U.S. border, symbolizing cross-border friendship and unity. This heritage building offers a wide range of library services, programming, and supports visual and performing arts for communities on both sides of the border, enriching the lives of its members in both English and French.

Community support is sought to help maintain this vital cultural landmark, which plays a critical role in clustering history, culture, and collaboration between the two nations.
