The Tsawenhohi house is one of the important heritage elements that you can find in the heart of Old Wendake.
This century-old house was built from 1807 and completed in 1820. The name “Tsawenhohi” was worn by the first Grand Chief who lived in the house, Nicolas Vincent Tsawenhohi. The latter was named, in 2001, “Person of National Historic Significance” by the Department of Canadian Heritage. Between 1820 and 1993, Maison Tsawenhohi was inhabited by three Grand Chiefs and people active in the community, both politically and economically. Classified as a “Heritage Property” by the Council of the Huron-Wendat Nation, it was visited by several personalities and celebrities of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Huron-Wendat Museum now presents the permanent exhibition Hatiyuwa: nenhs (The Great Men): Nicolas Vincent Tsawenhohi (1769-1844).
The Huron-Wendat Museum’s Awen’ boutique is also located there.
Directly around the Tsawenhohi house, you will find the Ekionkiestha’ national longhouse, the First Nations Hotel-Museum, the La Traite restaurant, the Huron-Wendat Museum and the railwaymen’s corridor.
