Heritage walk in Saint-André-Avellin

A tour of local history and creativity

Discover Saint-André-Avellin on a heritage walk that combines memory and know-how. From the Pioneer Museum, a walking tour guides you through 22 sites of interesteach revealing a different facet of the village's history. The angel protector, the footbridge, the parish mass grave, the church, the old houses and the grotto on Mont Saint-Joseph all bear witness to the heritage left by the builders of yesteryear. This accessible trail takes you back in time, while offering a pleasant stroll in a picturesque setting.

Just a stone's throw from the museum, don't miss the " Time Trail ". This unique space showcases the miniature creations of Jean-Pierre Desrosiers, a passionate craftsman who brings heritage buildings back to life with remarkable meticulousness. His masterpiece, the reproduction of the 1888 church, took nearly 400 hours to complete. His miniature houses, urban chicken coops and swings marvel at their precision and authenticity.

Whether you're a history buff, culture buff or just looking for a nice walk along the banks of the Petite-Nation river, this original experience is sure to please.
