La maison Boulanger
Damase Boulanger, premier résident de Saint-Joseph d’Alma, arrivé ici en 1860, a fait construire cette maison par Elisée Labrie en 1863 et l’a habitée jusqu’à sa mort le 5 mars 1882. Elle a reçu tous les visiteurs de marque et accueilli tous les pionniers. On y a donné la mission et célèbré la messe de 1871 à l’automne de 1875. On y a même gardé quelques temps le Saint-Sacrement et fait deux marriages. La maison a cessé d’appartenir à la famille Boulanger en 1898; elle a été acquise en 1947 par la Société-Historique de Saint-Joseph d'Alma.
