Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins had this house built in 1883. It is here they raised their 10 children and, in 1900, launched the first savings and credit co-op in North America. A historical re-enactment tells the fascinating story of the founding of the largest financial co-operative in Canada. A permanent exhibit in the house next door rounds out the visit.
