History of Québec Education system speaks here. It’s the house of Marguerite Bourgeois where she started teaching to the girls for the first time in Québec. Many hospitals evidences, ancient agricultural tools and equipments, food freezing techniques, house heating techniques etc could be the best takeaway for the visitors. Most interesting, the bed had big pile of pillows almost a half of it’s size. It’s because the people during the period never used to sleep in laying positions due to the fear of dying. So, they used to sleep in sitting positions having a big support from their back.

Great place to visit. Guided tours in English and French.

Super Nice expérience visiting an old house of 16 siècle. Make sure you go there while they have outdoor kiosk and activities. 20$ for visiting the house and garden. There is a nice terrasse where you can get a drink and enjoy the beautiful garden around.

Delightful 17th century house turned into a museum. I learned much about how my ancestors lived and how Sister Marguerite Bougeoys helped some of the Filles du Roi prepare for their new lives. It was great in the winter, I would love to return in the spring to see the gardens.

Maison Saint-Gabriel is a must see in Montreal! Original 1668/1698 home with beautiful beams, floors and sinks. The history of the farm as an uncloistered community of nuns and their contributions to Montreal was fascinating. The tour includes 2nd floor and cellar of Maison as well as interesting exhibit in barn. There is also a lovely garden.

This was really really cool, I'm so glad I went! The tour was very informative and nice, the inside of the house was wonderfully preserved and curated. As a heads up you can't go inside without a guide, so plan your visit accordingly. However if you're early theres a lovely garden totally worth checking out!

Superb museum, excellent welcome, beautiful collections and beautiful exteriors. It's a very good place.

Nice place to visit Guide tour recommended

It was amazing to see where a few of my grandmothers lived when they came to New France.

This was an awesome tour. The guide was very friendly and informative. I would recommend it for sure. Its an hr long and they offer it in different languages. You cant take pictures inside so that's a bummer but I understand.

Honestly superb! The guide was excellent and it was very informative.

Very interesting to discover the origins of Montreal

Excellent place to visit with family or friends, very good information provided by kind people dressed as the Nouvelle France era, they explain how normal people lived and how they survived or work at that time, you can even try with them to do some of the activities, the tour inside the house is very worthy be aware that one tour is in English and next is in French, you can easily spend 3 hours in the visit, there is no parking at the house but is very easy to find free parking in the near surroundings, And for those that acquired their Canadian citizenship in the previous 12 months your entry might be free by presenting your passez-culturel.

It’s a lovely museum and definitely had a very informative guided tour. Guide is very very knowledgeable. This is one of my favourite attractions in Montreal. Yes it is far away from other attractions, but it still worth it. And you can visit Irish monument rock on the way to the museum.

Interesting visit

Must. Go. On. Tour. The guide that we had was amazing and entertaining! We got to see different rooms in the house and learnt about the history of the house as well as the people who lived in it. The guides were also super helpful in terms of giving us ideas of where to head to next for shopping.

Loved this museum. Learnt a lot about New France history and the early settlers.

I went this summer, and I really liked this museum. The people are very welcoming and kind.🙂 I recommend this place!👍

Great family trip! All the staff had costumes and explained very well.

What an amazing heritage site! The tour guide did a great job! Very informative and interesting.

This museum is a nice place to visit. You can known how live the people in the New France.

A vital part of New France history: the Filles du Roi arrived here between 1663-73 under the protectorate of Louis XIV, king of France.

This is a fantastic place to learn about a tiny part of Quebec’s history away from the throngs of tourists at some other sites. Excellent tours and bucolic setting.

it's just an old cabin. if you've seen one you've seen them all, the staff was all very excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. worth a visit if you have a special interest but definitely shouldn't be a priority.

Very interesting experience and something different in Montreal. Like going back in time. And amazingly preserved

This is place has lots of history. It was a pleasant discovery. Recommend to anyone who visits Montréal

Fascinating history. Highly recommend. No picture taking inside.

It was a very interesting place to visit and to learn about it's history. The guides were very informative. We were disappointed with the one hour tour because we were 4 teachers and 62 students. We felt that it was rushed and we didn't have enough time to look at their artifacts. The guide was moving us along to quickly. I was told after the tour had finished that we could have had a 2 hour tour for that amount of students. We should have been informed about either a one or two hour tour before booking.
