Fun and learning for the kids
Small museum on the outskirts of Montreal displays the history of the country side from the 17th century. Some exhibits are in French, however the staff was very helpful translating, providing tours in both French and English. There are also interactive activities for kids, such as an archeological dig, teaching children how to unearth artifacts then use deductive reasoning to place it in the right time period. There are sometimes special exhibits as well. When visiting in Aug 2018, there was an exhibit on forgeries. Admission prices are reasonable (see picture of rates).
When there with kids and trully a perfect place to learn about the great great history of the region. Really impressive artefacts.
The museum is a very cool experience and especially with kids! The staff is super helpful and nice.
The place is well adapted to handicapped and kids. It's a bit small but it's packed tight with objects. There is one guided exposition with a cool archeology activity!
Nice little local museum with good staff.
