I found the coolest statue today. It is a monument to Louis Hébert, the first settler to colonize in Québec City in 1617. The statue is located in the Montmorency Park National Historic Site. The park is situated at the edge of Upper Town, just above Lower Town, where our hotel for this summer's ancestry visit is located. It's just minutes away. On this statue, is a plaque commemorating the early colonists. One of them is Gaspard Boucher who arrived in Québec in 1635. He is my 8th great-grandfather.
