The Lachine Museum brings together the Le Ber-Le Moyne heritage site, a listed archaeological collection as well as 17th century buildings. In 2021, the Musée de Lachine will present its temporary exhibition Life without apps: a presentation of objects and photos to help people discover or remember life before digital technology, the Internet and social networks. Also, a visit to Maison Le Ber-Le Moyne, the oldest complete building in the metropolis, is highly recommended. More than 400 historical and archaeological objects illustrate the daily life of its occupants over the centuries. The Museum offers several activities as well as permanent exhibitions. The majority of them are accessible there without reservation. Entrance and activities are free. – Lachine Museum
