News Release

*********************

The Dionne Quints Museum will be closed for the season as of this Tuesday, October 9, 2007. For the last week of the season, including Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, the museum will be offering visitors 2 for 1 admission. With admission, visitors receive entrance to the house, and a guided tour. The museum features the original Dionne homestead with Quint artifacts and photographs. Tours are available in both French and English and the facility is also wheelchair accessible.

The Dionne Quintuplets were the world's first set of identical quintuplets to survive for more than a couple hours. Born in May, 1934, the Quints attracted over three million visitors to North Bay and area during the Depression. A whole new tourist industry sprang up and provided employment for thousands in the area. The Quints brightened the days for millions of people during the dark times of the Depression, and helped them forget, for a moment, their troubles. Come down and experience a part of our local history.

This week the museum is open 10am to 4pm, through to the holiday Monday. Although the museum will be closed for the duration of the winter, it will re-open next spring. The museum is located at the Chamber of Commerce and Tourist Information Center at 1375 Seymour, on the corner of Hwy 11 and 17.
