The Maison Saint-Gabriel Museum located in Montreal, Quebec is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage and artifact of the settlers of New France in the mid 17th century. The museum consists of a small farm, which has been administered for more than 300 years by the Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, founded by Marguerite Bourgeoys in Montreal in 1653.
Restored in 1966, the farm has recently had additional landscaping of native plants in garden areas. In the summer, artisans demonstrate crafts and life of the 17th century. The museum may be viewed online in English, French, Spanish, or Japanese.
The site was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2007.[1][2]
