William Armstrong first made a name for himself as a civil engineer – through his work on some of Canada’s early railways – and as a pioneer in the use of photography for industrial purposes. But it was his art that has given him a place in history!
He was one of the Artists in the 1800s that traveled through Sault Ste Marie and illustrated its early history.
