Visit the Horne Smelter

The Horne Smelter invites you on a free tour that combines heritage, science and impressive discoveries.

Did you know that we're the only copper smelter in Canada? You'll have the rare opportunity to see it from the inside... and to witness molten copper being poured, just a few metres away. A spectacular moment that will leave a lasting impression!

The tour also takes you back in time, with a stop at Rouyn-Noranda's oldest building: a log cabin transformed into a museum. The tour begins at the foundry's reception house, one of the town's first dwellings.

*Children under the age of 12 may not take part in the tour.
