Alexis Cyr's Historical House
Parc du Berceau, Saint-Basile
289, rue Principale Edmundston, NB
The Cyr house, the oldest house in Madawaska County, was built by Alexis Cyr between 1825 and 1830 in Saint-Basile. It is a true example of the building methods used by the first Acadian settlers. Passed on from generation to generation until 1983, the house was purchased by the Madawaska Historical Society and moved to its current location. The Alexis-Cyr House is an important testament to life in the olden days of the colony.
