Andre-Ann was a joy. She speaks amazing English and explained everything in detail. She made our day. The museum has an english guide book and that made life even better. The museum is well maintained and the restaurant outside has a great atmosphere. Would recommend highly
We learned a lot about the logging and papermill industry and how it shaped Trois Rivieres. The landscape went from farming to multi-story walk-up apartments. It's a really interesting tour and you have a chance to make paper!
Loved visiting this heritage museum. Wonderfully curated, giving visitors deep insight into the paper mill industry. The audio guide and experience was excellent. Very well maintained facility.

MOULIN SEIGNEURIAL DE POINTE-DU-LAC REVIEWS
Such a pretty place with interesting interpretive signs (check out the "Poetry Trail") and a series of short trails. It was off season, so the visitors center wasn't open - but we'll definitely return for a picnic in the spring!
Closed for renovations but still a nice place to go walking. Beautiful 1721 building with a Dam on the side.
Amazing... time stood still! The place is perfectly curated to bring a lost tradition to the visitors.

MUSÉE POP REVIEWS
It's a touristic place of Tois Rivière. The tourist guide was excellent. You can see and feel the horrible life the prisoners had.
Great place to go with kids of all ages. Lots of interactive stations and games integrated into the exposition. Don't miss out on the old jail visit, it's chilling and fascinating at the same time.
Not only for kids as one might think. Very interesting and highly educational. May take up to two hours, so much content.
