Not far to go outside of Winnipeg we were very impressed by the knowledge and information shared by the volunteers about the region and the history of the town. And a real little gem of a restaurant insode the museum itself is well worth the visit.
A hidden gem in a French-speaking town. After walking around, we couldn't even find the entrance, but fortunately we meet this kind man in the bistro. Mr. Rolly was very enthusiastic and said that he could spend 20 minutes telling us about the history of the place.
We learned a lot of the history, present and the future here, from how his ancestor won the medal of the Pope of Rome, to the old church that was torn down and rebuilt, to how they collects syrup from the maple trees... Everyone was getting excited in the tour. Every April there are events held here. If we are still in Winnipeg next year, this is definitely on our list, I guess it would be very interesting to do some volunteer work.
Delightful guided tour and a lot of religious artifacts from the early days of the colonization of St Pierre-Jolys by the French missionaries.
Great times! Recommend to visit with your little ones🥰
Beautiful museum in a small town with rich history. Fun fact, my grandmother Cécile Mulaire (Gagnon) is the creator of Bicolo, a cartoon character that was found I the French weekly newspaper La Liberté pictured here ♡
The "Cabane à Sucre" hall is available year-round for private or corporate functions.
