Reviews of Hyman General Store - Museum (Fruit Store)

James Blagrave

(Translated) Nice effort to restore a general store. It's part of the Forillon Park tour. A short film on "how was it going in that time" shows us that "not much has changed in the end ..." Then go down below to see Forillon Diving and ask the owner about the new rules about seals ... An attraction of Grande-Grave in danger. (Original) Bel effort de reconstitution d'un magasin général. Ca fait partie de la visite du Parc Forillon. Un court film sur le "comment ca s'passait dans c'temps là" nous montre que "pas grand chose à changé finalement..." Descendez ensuite en bas voir Plongée Forillon et questionnez le propriétaire sur les nouvelles règles à propos des phoques... Un attrait de Grande-Grave en danger.

(Translated) A general store, museum and mini theater worth a stop! It’s so nice to walk through a door and be transported to another era. The welcome is warm, the actors are funny and make us want to learn more! We literally visit the store and in each room, a mini interactive play starts. Take a detour, you will be delighted! (Original) Un magasin général, musée et mini théâtre qui mérite que l’on s’y arrête ! C’est si agréable de passer une porte et de se faire transporter dans une autre époque. L’accueil y est chaleureux, les comédiens sont drôles et nous donnent le goût d’en apprendre plus ! On visite littéralement le magasin et dans chaque pièce, une mini pièce de théâtre interactive démarre. Faites un détour, vous serez enchantés !

On a tour and this place was closed... bummer, I really would have liked to go in, but some stuff, and enjoy their company. We were hiking the End of the Appalachian Trail!

Historic site with a free tour. The tour shows when the store was operational and the typical lifestyle they had.

Still smells like fish!!

Nicolas Rioux

(Translated) Nice visit, free with entry into the park, which gives us a good idea of the functioning of a bygone ajd industry which has dominated the Quebec maritime region for many years. (Original) Belle visite, gratuite avec l'entrée dans le parc, qui nous détaille bien le fonctionnement d'une industrie ajd révolue mais qui a dominé le à Québec maritime pendant bien des années.

(Translated) Historical, informative and very interesting ... on the other hand, it lacks a little light on the ground floor. (Original) À saveur historique, instructif et très intéressant... par contre, il manque un peu de luminosité au rez-de-chaussée.

Victor Lestrade

(Translated) Beyond the very interesting museum, a huge thank you for the wonderful welcome from M.Fournier. Because of his enthusiasm, his energy and his plush, he made us live a wonderful moment: Save the cod! (Original) Au delà du musée fort intéressant, un immense merci pour le magnifique accueil de la part de M.Fournier. De part son enthousiasme, son énergie et sa peluche, il nous a fait vivre un merveilleux moment: Sauvez les morues!

Jérémy Martel

(Translated) We went without knowing what it was, but this museum was a pleasant surprise. At our entrance a very interesting guide explained the history of the place. The reconstruction of the store of the time is very beautiful to see! (Original) Nous y sommes allés sans savoir ce que c'était, mais ce musée fut une agréable surprise. À notre entrée une guide très intéressante nous a expliqué l'histoire du lieu. La reconstitution du magasin de l'époque est très belle à voir !

Antonia Bertolini

(Translated) Nice reconstruction of an emporium of 1864 where you could buy everything, from clothes to food boxes, to fish, to what you need to fish. A typically Canadian custom is that of the reconstruction of historical places where, at times, locals (often elderly) who wear period clothes and work that really carried out the inhabitants work, such as the Fort of Louisbourg or the King Landing historic Settlement, in the valley of St. John. (Original) Simpatica ricostruzione di un emporio del 1864 dove si poteva comprare di tutto, dagli abiti alle scatolette alimentari, al pesce, all'occorrente x pescare. Usanza tipicamente canadese quella delle ricostruzioni di luoghi storici dove, a volte, lavorano persone del posto (spesso anziani) che indossano abiti dell'epoca e svolgono lavori che svolgevano veramente gli abitanti, come al forte di Louisbourg o al King Landing historic Settlement, nella valle del St. John.

(Translated) A return to the past (Original) Un retour ds le passé

Disappointing after traveling a long distance to see nothing impressive. But I respect it's historic significance.

Eric Bérubé

(Translated) Museum on the history of fishermen in the region How they used to dry the fish (Original) Musée sur l'histoire des pêcheurs de la région Comment ils faisaient sécher les poissons

(Original) Merveilleux pour ceux qui aiment l'histoire, les vieilleries et les bons raconteur. Pour les autres vous aller aimer enormement. Cela vaux vraiment le déplacement!
