Site historique de Clair

It is in the Maison Daigle-Saint-Jean (1848) that the Site historique de Clair came to life along the Saint John River. In the building, you’ll find furniture and agricultural tools dating back to the 1800s. You will also have the chance to leaf through some documents of that time detailing various jobs that existed in the region. The historical site is extremely popular for weddings. The property houses a chapel, a barn, a lumber camp, a cookhouse and a community garden.
