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.
