When Jos Dumulon opened his general store in 1924, he suspected that Rouyn and Noranda would experience a rapid and eventful evolution. An original interpretation tour lets you discover the story of the Dumulon family, the city’s first merchants, and the story of the boomtowns that Rouyn and Noranda became, with their destiny linked to mining discoveries. Visit the first general store, the first post office and one of Rouyn’s first
homes, and delve into the not-so-distant past, with each object paying homage to the work of pioneers. In the summer, a monologue rounds out the visit. Also see the souvenir shop selling handicrafts and regional products, open year-round with no entry fee.
