Louis-Joseph Papineau National Historic Site
Please note that the Louis-Joseph Papineau National Historic Site is closed to visitors.
Once the residence from the days when Papineau was at the peak of his political career, this building in Old Montreal bears witness to one of the most troubled periods in Quebec and Canadian history. On November 6, 1837, the house was attacked by the Doric Club, an Anglophone paramilitary organization. Fortunately, the attackers failed to get inside.
Although the building is closed to the public, you can still admire its beautifully restored façade on Bonsecours Street.
