LeBer-LeMoyne House

Built between 1669 and 1671 in Lachine on Montreal’s western shore, the LeBer-LeMoyne House is regarded as Montreal’s oldest complete building and a major survival from the French colonial period. It began as Lachine’s first fur trading post after Jacques Le Ber and Charles Le Moyne acquired the land in 1667, and later became a farmhouse from 1698. Over time it passed through several owners, saw its farmland reduced in the 19th century, and became a summer residence in 1901. Purchased by the City of Lachine in 1946, it opened as a museum in 1948. Restoration and archaeology later clarified its long history, including Indigenous presence thousands of years earlier.
