 Photo: Robert Baronet, Villa EstevanThe Reford Gardens/Jardins de Métis are recognized as one of Canada's outstanding gardens. A national historic site, they were created by a passionate gardener and plant lover, Elsie Reford, between 1926 and 1958. Visitors to this verdant domain of more 200 acres can admire the splendours of some 3,000 species and varieties of native and exotic plants displayed in fifteen gardens. Sculptures by contemporary artists punctuate the visit and integrate harmoniously with historic gardens.

Today, it welcomes visitors to its dining rooms, temporary exhibitions and museum. The museum explores the story of the summers spent by Elsie Reford and her family enjoying salmon-fishing and gardening. On Sundays throughout the summer, the Villa hosts brunch and literary teas. The dining rooms of Estevan Lodge offer a luncheon menu and Friday evening meals inspired by the Gardens and featuring local produce. The Garden Café, adjacent to the Villa, offers light meals and snacks in a garden setting.

Miguasha Park conserves a fossil rich cliff with a worldwide reputation since its discovery in the 1800s. The fossilized fish and plants are proof of an environment that existed some 380 million years ago. Remarkably preserved, the Miguasha fish fossils help us to understand the passage of vertebrates from aquatic to terrestrial life.

Collection Madeleine Frenette-Bouchard Joseph Frenette (1866-1953) was a rural doctor, a profession that no longer exists today. He dedicated his life to treating the ill and injured, delivering children and saving lives. The exhibit created in his home pays tribute to this great citizen, the first doctor who lived in Causapscal, but also to all the doctors without whom this region, such as many others in Québec, could not have developed and prospered.
Like an open book, the objects, texts and photographs, as well as the multimedia of this exhibit, invite you to enter his family and professional universe, and understand the important role of rural doctors in the history of Québec.
Schedule: June 19th to September 6th, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission fees: Adult $5, student and senior $4.25, family $15. Reservations needed for groups.

Legend has it that the first sport fisherman to cast a line at Causapscal was Lord Mount Stephen. Around 1870, he established his very own private fishing estate by buying up much of the property along the banks of the Matapédia and Causapscal Rivers.
In the early 1900's, a group of wealthy American and English Canadian businessmen purchased Lord Mount Stphen's estate and founded the Matamajaw Salmon Club.
For more than 60 years, the luxurious Club was a second home to members and their guests, lured by the prospect of measuring their strength and cunning against the king of our rivers, the Atlantic salmon.
