Wool Machines – Wonders in Motion!

With our permanent exhibition "Wool Machines - Wonders in Motion!" relive the era of the first textile industries that settled in the Val Saint-François from the early 19th century.

For you, the Mill comes back to life and recreates the atmosphere of a shop, a workshop where oil mixes with sweat. The restoration work of the Blanchette Mill has allowed us to put back into operation several of our impressive machines (carder, spinner, shredder, etc.).

Dating back to 1840, the mill is classified as a heritage building by the government of Quebec and boasts architectural peculiarities typical of wooden and stone constructions from that time.
