Battles 1759-1760

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 also highlights lesser-known impacts of the conflict such as military discipline. 

Finally, artifacts from the archaeological collection of the park highlight civilian and military life on the Plains and in the surrounding area from the second half of the 18th century to the end of the 19th century.

Interactive games make the exhibition suitable for all ages.
