Leading up to the house itself, were educational English/French information panels on the building practices through the eras ending with the construction method used for the Lamontagne house. The costumed guides were friendly, knowledgeable and during the Covid-19 re-opening, extremely respectful of precautions. One guide a 10 minute presentation on the history of the time and explained the background of the house; bravo to her as it was clear and done well! The house itself had information in French only. However, we are bilingual and did not have a problem. Extremely well-done, learned a lot, and worth the stop. There are steep stairs to the second floor of the house; something to be aware of.
