Our tour guide was Alice and she was terrific. Very knowledge and a great sense of humor. We booked our English language tickets on-line the evening before. Only 4 people on the hour long tour. Fascination history. First a prison, then a prodestant, English language co-ed college, now a historic building and library. Tour was great!…

Walk in the front door and book your tour, they have separate tours for english and french about an hour long. This was once a prison and part of the original prison cells are still there for you to see and explore. It is currently a library that should be seen. The history of this building is amazing, dont miss it.…

I purchased a membership prior to my trip specifically so I could visit outside of "regular" tour hours. Amazing place, beautifully organized, fascinating secret displays. I wish I'd had time for a longer stay. Friendly, courteous staff. Definitely book a tour if you can!

This building features prominently in the Louise Penny book "Bury Your Dead" and I was eager to see the library as I loved the way it was described in the book. I dropped by and was disappointed to find out that the library is closed to the general public during Covid (I visited in December 2021). However, in talking to the front desk attendant I learned there was a tour of the Morrin Centre leaving in about 5 minutes from my arrival. I joined the tour on a whim and enjoyed it thoroughly! The tour was about an hour long and covered the history of the building as a jail, college and now literary and historical society. The guide was engaging and enthusiastic and I learned a lot about the history of Quebec City. I would definitely recommend it!…
