Description
Imagine discovering the sumptuous Victorian home built by the architect Louis Caron for Sir Wilfred Laurier and his wife Zoé Lafontaine in 1876. Visit the furnished rooms and witness a recreation of Wilfred Laurier's actual office and bedroom decorated with his personal objects that seem to come to life upon your gaze. While discovering the elegant residence, you'll also live an interactive family cultural excursion of Laurier's world, the first French Canadian Prime Minister of Canada (1896-1911). Also, you will get to know Lady Laurier, the first patron of the arts in Canada!
