Exhibit on view in the Beliveau Gallery at the Franco-American Centre
until mid-August, 2008
For information on gallery hours and other details,
contact the Franco-American Centre at (603) 669-4045

This exhibit is a pictorial history of French-Canadian immigration to the United States at the turn of the 20th century, in particular to New England. "Partir Pour les États" focuses on three main themes: the reasons for the immigration from Canada, the daily lives of Franco-Americans in the early 20th century, and contemporary ties that currently link Quebec and New Hampshire. The exhibit has many Manchester connections. The information panels are written in French and English translation booklets are available.
