Louis-Joseph Papineau National Historic Site
Once the residence from the days when Papineau was at the peak of his political career, this building in Old Montreal bears witness to one of the most troubled periods in Quebec and Canadian history. On November 6, 1837, the house was attacked by the Doric Club, an Anglophone paramilitary organization. Fortunately, the attackers failed to get inside.
Although the national historic site is closed to visitors, it is possible to view the commemorative plaque and a building that was once the residence of Louis-Joseph Papineau.
