Discover the History of the Plains of Abraham
Adapted to elementary and high school curricula, the activities are led by costumed characters who bring to life a variety of themes from the 17th to the 20th century, such as New France, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, military life in the Martello Towers, and factory work in the 20th century.
The activities are designed to enrich students’ learning while giving them a tangible and memorable experience at an exceptional historic site.
Reservations are required for guided activities. However, groups of fewer than 15 people can visit the Plains of Abraham Museum independently without prior reservation.
