Discover the fascinating history of Brome County!

Spend an afternoon diving into the past of Knowlton, the historic heart of Lac-Brome, and explore the lives of those who settled in Brome County. Learn more about the early industries, education, the Loyalists, and how people lived at the end of the 19th Century.

The Lac-Brome Museum, owned by the Brome County Historical Society, founded in 1897, features several historic buildings that will captivate visitors of all ages. Among them are exhibitions on the trades and industries of the time, military life (including a Fokker DVII, a rare German biplane from World War I), early education, and British Home Children. Children will also enjoy the interactive Children’s Museum, while the temporary exhibition hall offers a new theme to explore every year.

Just outside Knowlton, a five-minute drive will take you to Tibbits Hill School, a historic gem open to the public on Sunday afternoons during the summer.
