Moquin House<\/h4>

This house was built in 1904 by the Dionne family for their farm hired hand. It was moved three times before finally arriving at the Mus\u00e9e Saint-Joseph. The last family to live in the house was that of Mr. Isidore Moquin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Perron House<\/h4>

Before the Perron family took possession of this hand-hewn white oak house, it had a controversial history where the Crown had seized it and resold it twice in less than 5 years. The origin of the house, built around 1840, is unknown, but it is possibly M\u00e9tis. On\u00e9sime Leblanc and Adolphe Turner were the last to purchase this house from the Crown before the Perron family. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
