LeBer-LeMoyne/deLorimier Home
Oldest House in Montreal
To some patients my name may sound foreign, but my ancestors have lived a colorful saga, and hopefully a contributory one, in North America for more than three hundred years. They fought in many battles prior to and including the French and Indian Wars, the financing of which became the raison d’etre for the American Revolutionary War.
