Follow Joe and Florence in our new exhibition Plaisirs de pêche. Your hosts will guide you through our historical buildings. This brand new immersive auditory experience will make you dive into the rich salmon fishing history of the region.
Founded in 1873 by businessman George Stephen, The Forks estate, today Le Site patrimonial de pêche Matamajaw, allowed him to receive prestigious guests and practice salmon sport fishing. By 1908, the Matamajaw Salmon Club became one of the most famous private salmon fishing camps in the province. Bordering the Matapédia and Causapscal rivers, the luxurious establishment welcomed members and guests of the club until its purchase by the Quebec government in the 1970s. The Site patrimonial de pêche Matamajaw became, in 1984, a cultural heritage property classified by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Quebec and is today an approved museum institution.
