This building on the site of the St-Pierre-Jolys Museum in St-Pierre-Jolys originally sat near the Rat River. It was built by Moise Goulet, who transported goods by Red River ox cart from the United States to Canada during the 1800s. Used as the home for Goulet’s family, it also served as a rest stop for his fellow freighters. In 1985, it was moved to this site and restored, and three years later, it became a municipally-designated historic site.
