Ville St. Laurent • An Exploration of History

Our Journey takes us through the City of St. Laurent and the importance of the related history conveyed in reference to the institutions in the area; the Museums, Academic Institutions, the Churches and Parks.

The research is focused on the St. Croix area and recalls the problems in the Seigneurial system in relation to the building of the rail system.

An exploration of the history in relation to the varied congregations; the Fathers of St. Croix, the St. Laurent Congregation and the Sulpicians.

Travel through time and explore the collection at the MUMAQ Museum on St. Croix Avenue.
