If you've never seen the Dionne Quints Museum, you'd better act fast.
This is the last weekend it will be open, and with an uncertain future, it may be your last chance.
This 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 Quintuplet artifacts and photographs.
Tours are available in both French and English and the museum is also wheelchair accessible.
The Dionne Quintuplets were the world’s first set of identical quintuplets to survive for more than a couple of hours.
Born May 28, 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.
This coming weekend, the museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sunday, and holiday Monday.
The museum is located at the Chamber of Commerce and Tourist Information Centre at 1375 Seymour, on the corner of Hwy 11 and 17.
