The Roy Heritage Home is a boomtown-style house from the early colonization period and the beginnings of the Parish of Saint-Quentin. It illustrates life in the first permanent settlement of Saint-Quentin, where the first inhabitants settled in 1910.
Leopold Roy, his wife Claire Bérubé, and his parents Amanda and Donat Roy lived here. The Roy`s were exemplary citizens in the development of Saint-Quentin. Leopold Roy was named a Distinguished Citizen.
The Roy Heritage Home has served a number of purposes: general store, Caisse Populaire, provincial court, professional photography centre, Canada Employment centre, and much more. It was restored in keeping with its original structure and now houses a museum reflecting the community’s early days.
Restored in 2004, it was designated as a heritage site and is home to the local community museum.
