The Sir George-Étienne Cartier National
Historic Site of Canada commemorates the life and accomplishments
of one of the Fathers of Confederation, Sir George-Étienne Cartier.
The reconstitution of the two adjoining
homes of the Cartier family also serves to recall the architectural
heritage left by the upper middle class of 19th century Montreal.
The site also provides insight into the
mores of this social class, using the house's Victorian décor
as a backdrop for performances and re-enactments that vary with
each passing season.
Do, please, accept the invitation...
