La Pulperie de Chicoutimi - Regional Museum

La Pulperie de Chicoutimi is a gem in Canada/Quebec's history. What an amazing story of ingenuity, brutally hard work, risk (physically and financially), justice/injustice (on the part of the efforts of the Catholic Church on behalf of the labor force), technology and "development"! This is a story which should be taught in the public schools of Canada. There is so much to learn here! I would strongly encourage that the indigenous story of short lived effort be included since I felt it was given superficial attention.

The most interesting part is the pulp process and history of the place. However the rest (exhibitions) is not really interesting both for adults and kids...
I would suggest to go in summer as you can visit the whole exterior site where in winter it's only the museum and nothing else.

Bus tour from Sageneuy la Baie, pier. Very informative guide with photo stop. Interesting historical perspective of the area. Definitely unique experience to the region.

A must stop while in Chicoutimi! Beautiful historical buildings, surroundings, water tower, and views. Love the cho cho train outside the museum. Nice information inside the museum. Little boutique inside the museum and clean washrooms.

Vast and informative Museum just outside of downtown Saguenay. A great place to learn more about the local history. Plenty of photo opportunities. Free parking. There's a fee to enter the museum, but there's plenty to explore without having to go inside. Easily accessible. Make sure to walk down to the bridge on the way in for the classic Instagram shot.
