ABOUT

The museum features six walk-through displays that recreate life in a rural Quebec farmhouse, a textile mill, and a 1930s labor union hall, highlighting the cultural impact of these immigrants.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Families can explore immersive exhibits that depict various aspects of immigrant life, including home, work, and school environments. Visitors begin their journey in a farmhouse and then transition to the workday world of Woonsocket's residents from the early 20th century to the present.

GOOD TO KNOW

The museum is a designated site along the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, emphasizing its role in preserving local history. As an independent nonprofit, it promotes the region's historic and cultural resources.
