Un must pour ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire industrielle du Québec et à l'industrie du textile en particulier !
I went there this year but the season was over. I will go there next year to visit its beautiful hiking trail. Nice place with covered bridge. Large parking lot.
Beautiful historical place for a picnic. Not only they have trials for walking enthusiasts and they also have a museum like section for whom might be interested in cloth making process during the early 1900.
Due the pandemic the cafeteria was closed but I bet that would be so much fun to have a lunch nearby the old river.
The trial starts with a cute bridge through the building where you can see the old wooden bridge which is still being used to cross the small river with a closer look.
Lastly they have great staff. With a very warm welcome they are willing to assist you with almost anything and since they are fully bilingual.
Great job guys!
The video played at the start of the tour gives an excellent summary of the place and its history, more fascinating though is the glimpse of "19th century high-tech" since most all of the machines used to process the wool are functional AND functioning. A friend with me did not speak French and the guide did a pretty good job of presenting the tour in English(if unilingual English you may want to check about this 1st)
While "19th century high tech "was a joke the machinery is very interesting and sophisticated despite most of it being made of wood.
This mill was abandoned and deteriorating in the 1970's but now has a second life as a living museum, a good one at that!
