Was a little skeptical about paying $10 for a museum I hadn't heard of. Was glad I paid it. Quick and entertaining coverage of the history of Montreal generally, not just history of that house. Be sure to use the video kiosks where "ghosts" of the house tell you the pertinent history from their time period.

Beau paysage du chateau

Charming museum

History of Montreal, small enough – easy to walk through this residence (built in 1705) in an hour or so and pick up some interesting tidbits. Including information about Ben Franklin’s diplomatic visit circa 1775. Former governor’s residence, and at times, military headquarters. Believe they offer guided tours through the museum, so check on timings in advance.
