Musée québécois de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation

In La Pocatière, Quebec, this ethnology museum explores the province’s rural life, agricultural traditions, and food heritage, with special emphasis on the history of agricultural education. Closely associated with Abbé François Pilote, founder of Canada’s first permanent agricultural school, it preserves equipment from that school and connects the growth of farming in Quebec to the institutions that taught it. Its thematic displays also recreate early 1900s Quebec interiors, workplaces, and community settings, while other exhibits cover regional animals, maple syrup production, transportation, local trades, farm machinery, and Abbé Maurice Proulx. Together, these collections place agriculture within the broader social world that shaped rural Quebec.
