Located north of Québec City, Beauport’s origins date back to the days of New France. Beauport has a long industrial history. Over the years, it has been home to various mills, workshops and factories making nails, planks, textiles, cement and other products. The Société d’art et d’histoire de Beauport invites you to discover this rich heritage through this album of photos taken in the area between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries.

The sawmill quickly became one of the most prolific in North America, producing squared timber, planks and various parts for the shipbuilding industry.
