Notre-Dame Grotto
Located between the Elementary School and the Notre-Dame convent. During 1946 and 1947, many young Manitobans were affected with polio. Sister Marie-Joseph (Antoinette Bergeron), then principal of the school, promised to set up a grotto in honour of the parish if it was spared from this epidemic.
	The youth of Lourdes were saved. In 1954, Sister Thérèse-de-l'Enfant Jésus (Alphéda Provencher), then principal of the school, in collaboration with her students, as well as Father Dacquay, started building the grotto.
Notre-Dame Convent
The convent was constructed in 1906 by the order of the Chanoinesses régulières des Cinq Plaies du Sauveur and holds fond memories for many of the area’s local residents.  Heeding the call from the town’s founder, Dom Benoit, the sisters developed and managed the educational, health and spiritual needs of the community.  Unfortunately, due to its members’ advancing years as well as diminishing membership, the sisters left the convent in 2004.

It contains approximately 10 000 historic technical and artistic objets, including some archives. Part of the museum is dedicated to the chanoinesses who settled in 1891 soon after the founding of the town.
