Sir George-Étienne-Cartier National Historic Site
-
Exquisitely preserved artifacts of the 19th-century upper-middle-classes and their lifestyle are commemorated at Sir George-Étienne-Cartier’s house, now a National Historic Site. Cartier was one of the Fathers of Canadian Confederation and his impeccable home, in which he lived from 1848 to 1871, provides an insight into the mores of his social class at that time. Using the Victorian decor as a backdrop for theatrical re-enactments, the on-site performing troupe enlivens the home and its detailed history (see Sir George-Etienne-Cartier National Historic Site, Montréal).
