Forges du Saint-Maurice

Following the discovery of rich iron deposits in the 18th century, Forges du Saint-Maurice was established in Drummondville, Quebec. This historical attraction was once a bustling ironworks complex, producing weapons and tools for the French army during the colonial era. Today, visitors can explore the various buildings and exhibits within the site, including the original blast furnace, blacksmith shop, and barracks.

In addition to its impressive industrial heritage, Forges du Saint-Maurice also played a significant role in Canada's history. The iron produced here was crucial in efforts to defend New France against British attacks, and its skilled workers were instrumental in the development of the colony. As tourists wander through the site, they can learn about the challenges faced by workers and the impact of the forge on the local community.

For history buffs and curious travelers alike, Forges du Saint-Maurice offers a unique and educational experience. As a well-preserved example of early Canadian industry, the site provides a glimpse into the country's past and the importance of iron production during the colonial period. With its beautiful setting and rich historical significance, a visit to Forges du Saint-Maurice is a must for anyone interested in Quebec's cultural heritage.
