Village du Bucheron, Forestry museum in Grandes-Piles, Canada
The Village du Bucheron features 20 buildings and 4000 artifacts illustrating the history of lumber workers along the Saint-Maurice River in Quebec.
Between 1850 and 1950, this location served as a central point for lumber operations, where workers processed and transported wood through the waterways.
Local guides dressed as lumberjacks lead tours through the museum, performing traditional songs and demonstrating historical wood-cutting techniques with period tools.
The museum operates Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours in French and English with special rates for families and groups.
The museum includes a bistro named La Cookerie where visitors can taste regional dishes while listening to performances by local musicians.
