Carhagouha, Archaeological site in Tiny, Canada
Carhagouha contains remnants of a Huron-Wendat settlement near present-day Lafontaine, marked by two crosses and a cement pad at the eastern end.
On August 12, 1615, Father Joseph Le Caron conducted the first Catholic Mass in Ontario at this location, with Samuel de Champlain and 14 French settlers present.
The site name appears in various spellings across historical documents, reflecting different interpretations of the original Wendat language by European writers.
Visitors can locate the site by following Cedar Point to Concession 18 in Tiny Township, then proceeding south for one kilometer on a dirt road behind evergreen trees.
The Knights of Columbus of Ontario erected a large cement cross at the site, while a second wooden cross stands nearby as a memorial marker.
