A time travel journey for the entire family

Relive the siege of Québec City, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, and the Battle of Sainte-Foy. These pivotal events led to the creation of the park, which includes the Plains. 

Uniforms, maps, and models showcase the strategies, camp life, clothing, and regiments of the 18th century. A projection with period testimonials also narrates the conflict in a moving way. Several perspectives of the events are presented.

The exhibition highlights lesser-known impacts of the conflict such as military discipline. Interactive games make the exhibition suitable for all ages.
