Musée de la Maison Alphonse-Desjardins

Let a guide take you back to 1906, through this Victorian house, the birthplace of the first financial services cooperative known as a “caisse.” Dive into the world of Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins and get a first-hand look at some of their belongings. In addition to the historic home, visit the house next door for an exhibit dedicated to the story of the Desjardins couple and the founding of the caisses. Learn more about the founders, whose commitment earned them the honour of being named National Historic Persons.
