Excellente visite avec guide qui a bien su communiquer  sa passion pour cette maison, son histoire ainsi que pour la famille Hurtubise. J’en aurais pris encore une heure de plus !

A very nice old farm (1739) in the middle of Westmount.   Very well preserved.  Also very knowledgeable guided tour.  Another well-kept secret of Montréal!  👍😘

Genevieve Zevort

Un vibrant témoignage de l'époque où Westmount était un territoire fermier. L'usure des murs et les planchers parlent des générations d'Hurtubise qui ont fait l'histoire du quartier.  Et les photos du docteur semblent avoir été prises hier tellement les personnages ressortent.

Visite très intéressante. Merci de préserver ce riche patrimoine.

Anna Cullinan 

Delighted to have visited this house. After passing by in a car or on foot for many years I finally decided to take the tour. It’s an interesting part of our heritage and the tour guide made it come alive.

Une maison de mon voisinage que j'ai aimé visiter. J'en ai appris plus sur cette maison, ses habitants, et le contexte social et historique des époques qu'ils ont traversées. Les artéfacts et les photos rendent plus concrets les renseignements donnés. Merci à notre guide Ines pour ses commentaires !

Marta Rogowska

Overall, the visit was very interesting and well organized. We had the opportunity to see the house, the garden and the barn. The guide has a lot of knowledge, not only about the history of the house and the family, but they also know a lot of details about the lifestyle in Quebec at that time. I liked it that the visit was also interactive, we could ask questions and comment on many subjects related to the place.

La visite était très intéressante, nous avons beaucoup apprécié Inès. Cependant j’aurais préféré recevoir le message d’évaluation en français. merci. 

Luc Forest

La visite fut fort intéressante et j’aurais tellement voulu en apprendre encore plus sur la vie de cette famille.  Il faudrait faire un film avec l’histoire impressionnante de cette famille pionnière que sont les Hurtubise.  Merci beaucoup.

Patrick Laurin

I sent the following comments to a member of the Hurtubise family who is a wonderful person in his own right.

Hi John and thanks for the referral to the Hurtubise house in Montreal.   It was a very rewarding experience and I want to be sure you are aware of what is going on there, and it is a lot for a simple text message to convey.   I will share some highlights  and then we can talk if you wish.

1.   The two McGill second year students are researching the historical implications of the Hurtubise family.   The are even conducting archeological investigations on the property.   These girls are earnest (and wondrous).   You should make every effort to get to them while they are so engaged in this effort.  

2.  This appears to be a clever real estate tax avoidance endeavor on a pretty big scale by some very wealthy families.   They are using non profit status to acquire and hold (tax free) 30-plus high-value properties for many decades.  The two girls are unaware of this and will have nothing to share on this topic.

The girls say they have little knowledge of the family members  who left for the U.S. and did not return.  

They would very much like to hear from you, and you and Rick have an interesting situation to enjoy.

With the best wishes,
Joel

I've walked by this house countless times and wondered about its history. I was thrilled to find out that it was possible to visit. The tour was fun and very informative.

Rose  MacLeod

Thank you for a lovely experience.   Our hostess,  Charlotte, was engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.  It was a treat to view the exhibit photos and also the house itself - I was particularly drawn to the floor coverings in the kitchen.  Some of the articles in the carriage house also brought back memories of my Grandmother's farm.  A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting experience.

Fantastic tour .. guide was very pleasant spoke in English and french

Ann Elbourne

We had an excellent tour of the house, outside and inside, given by a very knowledgeable guide. Being a Westmounter and a bit of a history student I already knew quite a lot of the background, but the details about the family and the photographs and exhibits were fascinating. History came alive!

Linda Trudeau

Very interesting tour given by knowledgeable guide.

Keith Bonnyman

We had an absolutely fascinating tour of Hurtubise House. Our guide, Julie, was excellent and very knowledgeable. She explained the history of the house and its inhabitants. We had a real sense of what life was like over the past 300 years.  What a unique gem in the middle of Westmount. Thank you ! 

Carbone Elena 

Fascinating!  So cool to be able to peak in people's past lives and almost feel them! Tour guide really nice! well informed and interested . Situated in a very nice part of town this beautiful ancestral home is worth a visit!  

Joan McCordick

My two friends and I were given a most interesting tour by our guide, Julie. As we were her only visitors – it was a quiet day – we were able to linger over photographs and other features of the house that aroused our curiosity. With her passion for history, Julie answered our questions knowledgeably and with enthusiasm. I had visited Hurtubise House once before, but for my friends it was a first experience, and we all enjoyed it very much.

Crystal Schaaf

Knowledgeable guide and very interesting visit!!   Hard to imagine the house sitting out by itself amongst the fields.
