    Engage with costumed interpreters portraying soldiers, blacksmiths, merchants, and sailors who bring the history of the French colonial era to life. Explore authentic architecture, discover original artefacts, and witness the thunder of musket fire or the firing of the cannons along the ramparts overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

    Explore exhibits detailing the evolution of regional railway systems, view meticulously preserved memorabilia, and understand how the iconic local lighthouse guided countless vessels to safety through treacherous coastal waters.
