Musée Culturel du Mont-Carmel

The Musé culturel du Mont-Carmel, located in the quaint parish village of Lille sur-St-Jean in Grand Isle, ME, is a former Roman Catholic Church that has transformed into a non-profit cultural museum dedicated to the preservation of Acadian and Québecois culture and history. Founded in 1984 after the church was decommissioned, the museum features an extensive collection of artifacts and hosts various public programming, including educational lectures, exhibitions, and performance-based events.

Under the direction of founder Joseph Donald Cyr, the museum aims to foster community engagement and cultural appreciation while promoting the local French language and supporting economic development. The Musé culturel du Mont-Carmel acknowledges the ancestral lands of the Maliseet, Wolastoqiyik, and Mi'kmaq peoples, recognizing the cultural significance of the site it occupies.
