In the news

The special Holiday Art Exhibition at the Trestler House national historic site (La Maison Trestler, in French) is drawing to a close, and will wrap on December 19, 2023. There's still time to get out to Vaudreuil-Dorion for a visit, just a few minutes west of Montréal Island.

The site includes not only the gallery spaces, but also a local history museum recounting the past 225 years of the area. It's well worth a visit, as are its stunning lakefront grounds.

The final day of this art show will also mark the end of the site's 225th anniversary celebrations, as Trestler House will then close until after the New Year; it won't reopen until January 2024. 

The current exhibition features holiday-themed pieces from thirty or so local visual artists, in a variety of mediums. My watercolour painting - of pinecones, pine boughs, and red berries - entitled "Festive boughs", is just one example.

Opening hours for this exhibition are Tuesdays through Fridays from 0900 to noon, as well as from 1300 to 1630.

On Sundays the opening hours are from 1300 to 1600. Trestler House is closed on both Saturdays and Mondays.

As they host occasional private events, Trestler House suggests calling before each visit to ensure that they’ll be open: 450.455.6290.
