ABOUT US
We are a group of individuals who are interested in preserving the history of the Chateauguay Valley Region. Our objective is to search out, collect, preserve and display artifacts which document the origins and rich history of the region.
We are partnering with the Montérégie West Community Network (MWCN) to help bring to life our dream of creating a local museum; a safe place to preserve our regional history.
