George-Étienne Cartier Historic House


Historic confederation site
458 Notre-Dame Street East
(Near Bonsecours)
Montreal, QC H2Y 1C8
+1 514 283 2282
This beautifully restored home honours the memory of George-Étienne Cartier, a prominent Montreal lawyer, father of Confederation and former Canadian Prime Minister. It is inhabited by a cast of tour guides dressed in period costume who are all versed in the history of the house and the era. All manner of educational activities should keep the kids busy: these include 'The Etiquette Game,' which teaches children about 19th century society; and 'What's Up, Mr Cartier?', which focuses on the man and the house. Admission: CAD3.25 adults; CAD1.50 children.
