The Judge Thompson House was built around 1838. Judge John Gawler Thompson (1787-1868) was one of the most important figures in the 19th century gaspesian history. Born in Quebec in a middle class family, his father, Sargent James Thompson fought besides Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham and in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. John G. Thompson was witness to the colonisation of America by the English. The house, of Regency style, is located on a 32 acre piece of land which overlooks the Baie of Chaleur. Today as in olden days, a gateway at the entrance of the property welcomes visitors. Now restored in order to combine history and comfort, the Thompson House has become an inspiring landmark with its warmth and historical attributes. Near the house, the English garden welcomes guests to peaceful walks and meditation. Paths invite walkers into the wooded areas.
Of course, the house is a smoke free environment.
