L'École du Rang II

Présentation

Children attended school here from 1937 to 1958. It is a true restauration of the rural schools of Québec, and its decor as well as the school artifacts on display, contribute to its realism. You may even take part in a participatory play, where it is possible to experience a full, typical '40s day in class and also meet the inspector or the parish priest.
