In a few words

The Musée François-Pilote has four floors of exhibits: the 4th floor presents the history of agricultural education in Canada, the teaching of science in a classical college and a highly interesting collection of mounted bird specimens. The 3rd floor invites visitors to step back in time into a rural home of a bourgeois family, a farming family and also to see the offices of professionals of bygone days. The 2nd floor showcases several mounted animal specimens, a currency collection, religious objects and a temporary exhibit. The 1st floor presents the history of the sugar bush, traditional trades and tillage implements.
