The proposed experience
The Musée du Fort Saint-Jean invites you to l'École du soldat en Nouvelle-France, on May 23 and 24, 2026, at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean and in Gerry-Boulet Park during skirmishes. This free event immerses you in an 18th-century military encampment run by over a hundred enthusiasts, with demonstrations of maneuvers and firing, as well as workshops on old-time trades such as ironwork, sewing, pottery and more. A unique opportunity to discover military history and visit the museum's exhibits. Please note: The event is free of charge, and entry will be pedestrian only via Parc Gerry-Boulet (CMRSJ parking lots reserved for re-enactors and workshops).
