The Laprairie de la Magdelaine’s History Society was created in 1972 with a mission to safeguard the unique historical character of the old Laprairie area. Its actions led to the establishment of the Old Laprairie’s historical district in 1975.
For 35 years, the SHLM has been collaborating with other history or lineage societies along with any government agencies keen on protecting the cultural heritage and maintaining the archives.
