The Museum

Founded in 1965 by community members and missionary Rémi Dolan, the Abenaki Museum is the first Aboriginal museum institution in Quebec. Located in the old Catholic school of Odanak, along the St. Francis River, the Museum invites you to discover the cultural richness of the Abenaki First Nation. Renovated in 2005, the Museum invites you to visit permanent and temporary exhibitions with Aboriginal themes and to participate in cultural and educational discovery activities. From May to October, discover the uniqueness of the fauna and flora of Odanak by walking along  the Tolba  (Turtle) walking trail along the Saint-François River. The 1.2 km long interpretive panels provide information on medicinal plants and various animal species such as turtles, reptiles and birds.
