National Historic Site of Canada
• A military bastion for centuries
Discover more than 340 years (since 1666) of military history at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean, which witnessed the march of the Amerindiens fighters, of the French and British troops, of the American revolutionaries and of many Canadian units. Located in the former protestant chapel, Fort Saint-Jean Museum relates the history of this patromonial site that is, with Quebec city, the only site in Quebec that has known non-stop military occupation since the French Regime. The current exhibition presents this fascinating story with thematic maps, models, uniforms, weapons and artefacts and an outside guided tour will allow you to follow the steps of the previous and current inhabitants of the marvelous site along the Richelieu river and discover vestiges of the remparts, military equipment and original british buildings constructed in 1839. |
