Chateau Ramezay Historic Site and Museum

We were visiting from out of town and love to see historical places like this preserved and promoted to help not only document the past in a tangible way but also provide opportunities to understand our present times - how we got where we are today. This building saw many changes over its existence. We really appreciated the amount of time spent creating imaginative stories that were available through headsets in each room to help understand the people and events. The downstairs area looked recently renovated and had useful teaching aids for young people. There was a small collection of paintings of Quebec City in two of the rooms that was interesting. We enjoyed the gardens in the back though there had already been prepared for winter - I’m sure they’re much nicer in the summertime. Enjoy your visit.

I went to this museum because the bigger museums were closed on Mondays. I enjoyed this very much. I learned a lot about Montreal history and enjoyed the recorded audios that they had. Some rooms were closed for updating but still worth the money. I would recommend at least 2 hours if you actually want to listen and learn everything

The museum of governor Claude De Ramezay, devoted his whole life to the Canadian government. Transportation, building structure, to the kitchen and living habits, introductions available in many languages including mandarin, Spanish and Japanese. Give you a great background knowledge of the Quebec’s development. There’s also a well maintained small garden behind. If you love history, this is your go to spot.

Heritage site (well-maintained) complete with botanical garden, artifacts, reconstructions, digital audio/visual presentations, artwork (painted reproductions, wooden sculptures, etc., etc.), and reenactment of soldiers (full garb) marching through the streets. There is much to see and sample, including guided activities that offer real insight into the realities facing habitants and nobility of the time. Kids are welcome, though parents must secure a calm and polite exploration of the premises' offerings. I visited for 2.5 hrs with my two boys, aged 4 and 6. They loved it! There is a chest containing articles of clothing from the epoch. Especially neat were the wooden clogs, available in adult and children's sizes). A glimpse into our past and heritage. Well worth the time.

This was an awesome and historic museum. There is a lot of history in a small area. We did the tour in English and we got there just after the last one started. But we got to look around and see some of there exhibit on art and see all the other spots the floor doesn't take you on. Or your guide was very good and we really enjoyed the whole experience
