This family's experience:

Activities: We discovered the vestiges of the first iron industry in Canada. The Grande Maison exhibits iron and cast iron pieces made at the Forges. An exhibition on the community of artisans fascinated the children with interactive modules

Highlights: The children were fascinated by the exhibition about the community of artisans. Lucie, always a fan of costumes, spent the visit in clogs! We were grateful to the group of tourists who visited with us for their patience ✨
