Built in 1900, this building was a teaching convent owned by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. It served as a public school for grades 1 to 10 and as a girls' boarding school for 60 years.
Visit a traditional classroom with a mannequin dressed as a nun of that era. View the parlour, which served as a reception area for the guests, the chapel, mother superior's small bedroom, along with photos and artifacts from around the community.
This museum serves as a reminder of our heritage and wishes to recognize the important contribution made by the Sisters in the development of the village of St-Pierre-Jolys. The building was declared a provincial heritage site in 1989.
On the museum grounds are also located the
Sugar-Shack - "Cabane à Sucre", and the
Goulet House - "Maison Goulet".
