Go to the Morrin Centre when a guided tour is offered and hope Fiona is giving it. She made every aspect of the centre interesting and entertained with dramatic gusto. A memorable experience. Good for all ages.

An exceptionally entertaining tour of what at first glance does not appear to be an interesting building. The library has a long and dark history that is brought to life by the creative and talented guide. We were introduced to the last of the many men who were hanged above the front door. We saw his face, we heard the song that the children sang of him that day, and did he reach out to us? Some in our tour group would say he did or maybe it was the skill of the tour guide. Either way, it was highly entertaining.

This place wasn't in any of our guidebooks--we saw the outside on a walking tour we took and were intrigued. We went back and took the tour and enjoyed learning about this place that started as a prison, became a college and now houses a library. Our guide admitted to only having started a few weeks ago, but we never would have known, since he did a great job and pointed out all kinds of interesting things about the place. Worth a visit.

Alice was the guide on our tour, and she provided a fun and interesting look at the building's history. It was built to be a prison, converted to a college, and continues as an English-language library -- there's a lot to work with! We are Louise Penny fans, so we wanted to get a look at the place that is integral to her book "Bury Your Dead." However, that was not our sole reason for visiting the Morrin and the city, so we appreciate that this tour was not only about the book.

One of the best locations in QC for an anglophone bibliophile. I love every time I visit there. Not only library has great collection of books, it offers tours and other interactive programs for kids too. You feel like you step back in time. The tour to prison is also worth taking

Our tour of Morrin Center was very interesting and educational. The young man we got for our tour guide was excellent, so full of historic anecdotes! He was also very considerate and accommodating of the person in our group in a wheel chair. We loved this tour! One of the best things we did in Quebec City.

The Morrin Centre was a stop on our Free walking Tour of Quebec with Sam Dubois and he piqued our interest. The first prison and at which some 16 people were hanged. The last hanging was quite an event with thousands of onlookers including entertainment and food. Even children were taken along to learn what happened to murderers etc. When the prison became too small it was converted into a Anglican University that also admitted women. Some of the original cells are still there giving a great insight into what conditions were like. The tour is excellent. It takes about 1 hr and takes in the science laboratory and lastly the private members library. We really enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent.

We booked an English speaking tour at the Morrin Center on September 29th. Our tour guide was Fiona and she was fantastic! The tour of this historic cultural center was about 75 minutes and was extremely informative, interesting and fun! We learned about the unique history of this building, which has served as a jail, university and library over the last 200 years. Tour is inexpensive and highly recommended! Great way to learn about some of the history of Quebec City!

The Morrin Centre is an amazing cultural centre. It is meant to spread the word about the history and culture of English speaking canadians. It's a sort of special library. It has vast amounts of information and it really opens visitors' minds into Canada's history and culture.
