Visit the birthplace of this former Prime Minister of Canada (1882 - 1973). His childhood home is complete with the family’s possessions and his father’s general store is a window on rural life in the Eastern Townships at the turn of the 20th century. A multimedia show highlights his life and works, shedding light on one of the most dynamic periods in Canadian history. Every weekend, the “St-Laurent Sundays” program offers a kaleidoscope of cultural and heritage activities in July and August. On August 4-5, be sure to catch “The Weekend Flavour Festival” for a gourmet experience trying regional products!
