Pioneers Museum
The Pioneers Museum is an architecturally striking building that houses a rich collection of historical artifacts. As you tour the museum, you’ll be able to travel back in time and relive the history of a village, from its humble beginnings in the era of the seigneury to the dawn of the 21st century.
The collection includes over 1,000 historical artifacts, more than 600 photographs, animated videos, and nearly 150 rare 19th-century novels. Visitors can also view school textbooks, unpublished archives from local organizations, clippings from old newspapers, and writings about the lives of the pioneers.
A barn houses many old farming machines. The museum also has a wide variety of clerical garments.
