This museum is where Dr. Dafoe once lived and practiced. If you are curious about the stories of Dr. Dafoe, the Dionne Quintuplets, as well as local historical businesses and industries, then this is the place for you.

One of the exhibits houses a barber shop from the early 20th century.

It is not only locals that visited Dr. Dafoe. Celebrities such as Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Stewart, and Bette Davis came and saw him during the 1930s and 1940s, and Brooke Shields stopped by in 2016 when she was filming a movie nearby.

 

If you are interested in art, the Alex Dufresne Art Gallery hosts local art shows throughout the year. You never know what pieces you might see when you come here!

They are open only from Thursday to Saturday (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
