About the museum

Located in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, Grosse Île was a quarantine station for the port of Québec from 1832 to 1937. Relive the troubling experiences of immigrants who set sail in hopes of a better future, and those who cared for them upon arrival. 

With a Parks Canada guide, relive more than a hundred years of immigration through the stories and buildings still present on the island
