Charlevoix Maritime Museum
The museum presents various types of exhibition: permanent, virtual, temporary and multimedia. This museum was set up in 1973, that is to say following the closure of the company "Les Chantiers maritimes de Charlevoix", a company dedicated to the wintering and maintenance of schooners since 1946. The Development of the site began in 1985 with the mission of making it an interpretive center focused on wooden schooners and the maritime heritage of Charlevoix. The remains of three schooners on this site are used for education. In 2008, the Museum received as a donation a forest of 40 hectares; since 2016, a magnificent 4 km trail crosses this forest. In 1998, the Musée maritime de Charlevoix site received historic site status from the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
