Morrin Centre

The Morrin Centre is a cultural centre with an incredibly rich history in the heart of Quebec City. Visitors to the Morrin Centre can take a guided tour of the building in either English or French, learning about its heritage and importance within the city. The building was home to Quebec City's first jail, and on the tour, we visited the old jail cells and even got to be "locked" inside one! The Morrin Centre later shifted gears when a new prison was built and became Quebec City's first English-language college. Today, it is Quebec City's only English-language library. On the tour, we were shown a fully restored chemistry lab from when the building was a college, and given a tour of the library.
