Located at the Old Harry Heritage Site, the Veterans Museum highlights the involvement of English- and French-speaking residents of the Îles de la Madeleine in the major military conflicts of the 20th century.
This interpretation centre features a permanent exhibition chronicling the participation of Islanders in the two world wars and the Korean War while highlighting the human cost of these conflicts. On site, you will discover a significant collection of military objects and artefacts (uniforms, medals, letters, military equipment and personal mementos) that recount the journeys and sacrifices of the archipelago’s soldiers and civilians. The museum is an essential stop for understanding local military history and honouring the memory of local veterans within a living heritage context.
