Highways and byways...May 28, 2015

The Dionne Quints Museum


Multiple childbirths in today's world are not uncommon. However, back in the early 20th century this was not the case.

On May 28, 1934, a set of quintuplets was born in northeastern Ontario. All five of the girls survived.

The children who were born in a farmhouse near North Bay, Ontario, immediately gained international notoriety.

The farmhouse has been moved to North Bay, and is now a museum which allows you to get a glimpse of their early life eighty years ago during the Great Depression.

The museum is open from mid-May to mid-October.
