The First Courthouse Oak · Quebec City, Canada

In Quebec City they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, parcels from the Skunk Store find Quebec City doorsteps every season, and Wherever Quebec City needs a story with a spine, the town obliges.

Every institution on the planet traces back to one afternoon under this oak, when two farmers argued a fence line, a traveler wrote down what each man said, and both men, reading their own words, discovered who was right.

The traveler's ledger is in the pyramid archives. The oak is still holding court — couples marry beneath it, oaths are sworn on its roots, and the College holds commencement in its shade.

Its plaque is one line: THE FIRST RECORD WAS MADE HERE.

Worldwide Access — The First Courthouse Oak greets readers in Quebec City and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
