Some information about the neighborhood.

Voici la petite histoire du quartier et du nom Mackin.


English below

Afin de préserver le patrimoine matériel de l’ancien village de Maillardville, différents projets ont été réalisés ces dernières années. Le « carré Héritage » constitue certainement le site patrimonial le plus visible. Inauguré en 1999, ce site historique comprend un musée (la maison Mackin), un centre artistique et culturel (la Place des Arts), l’ancienne gare de Fraser Mills transformée en musée ferroviaire, des jardins, des trottoirs et des objets historiques extérieurs.

Le musée de la maison Mackin, situé dans l’ancienne résidence du directeur commercial de Fraser Mills, Henry J. Mackin, offre une exposition permanente consacrée à l’histoire de Maillardville et de Fraser Mills. Renfermant une collection de plus de 700 photographies historiques, cette exposition présente la vie quotidienne à Maillardville entre 1909 et 1960. Ces archives ont été rassemblées par Antonio G. Paré, petit-fils de l’ancien chef de police Émeri Paré père.

Différents panneaux d’interprétation bilingues ont aussi été installés un peu partout dans le quartier afin d’identifier des lieux ou de rappeler des moments significatifs de l’histoire de la communauté. De plus, la brochure intitulée Maillardville toujours propose un circuit touristique qui permet de découvrir des maisons patrimoniales construites par les premiers Maillardvillois ainsi que l’église historique Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.


In recent years, various projects have been carried out to preserve the material heritage of the old village of Maillardville. Heritage Square (Carré Héritage) is certainly the most visible heritage site. This historic site, inaugurated in 1999, includes a museum (Mackin House), an arts and culture centre (the Place des Arts), the old Fraser Mills train station transformed into a railroad museum, gardens, walks, and outdoor historical objects.

The Mackin House museum, located in the former residence of the Fraser Mills manager, Henry J. Mackin, offers a permanent display on the history of Maillardville and Fraser Mills. This display, including a collection of more than 700 historical photographs, presents daily life at Maillardville from 1909 to 1960. These archives were assembled by Antonio G. Paré, grandson of the former police chief Émeri Paré senior.

Bilingual display panels have been installed throughout the area to identify places and to recall important events in the history of the community. A brochure with the title "Maillardville toujours" recommends a tourist circuit leading to heritage houses built by the first residents of Maillardville, and the historic Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes church.
