This open-air museum, including 20 buildings and 4000 artifacts, will take you back to lumberjacks and log divers’ days. A surprising trip down memory lane to these men who worked so hard in the heart of the Mauritian forest and who worked on our dark Saint-Maurice River so bravely.
Explore the village at your own pace while listening to immersive audio stories played throughout the buildings. At the Lumberjack Village, the walls come alive, transporting you through tales and songs that bring to life the evolution of the work of lumberjacks and log drivers from 1850 to 1950.
Before you leave, be sure to stop by the gift shop, where you’ll find locally crafted products, many of them made from materials sourced from the forest.
A guided tour option is also available for groups. Led by Baptiste Prud’homme, a talented local singer-songwriter and performer, this lively and engaging experience combines music, storytelling, humour, and emotion to bring the history of Mauricie’s forest industry to life.
