Horne Smelter - Free Guided Tours

1000 Islands & surroundings, Abitibi-Témiscamingue +

Discover the Inner Workings of the Horne Smelter
Guided Tours - June 25 to August 15, 2025

The Horne Smelter invites you to a free guided tour that blends heritage, science, and fascinating discoveries.

Did you know it’s the only copper smelter in Canada? This is a rare opportunity to explore it from the inside… and witness a molten copper being pour just a few metres away. A spectacular moment that leaves a lasting impression!

The tour also takes you back in time, beginning in Rouyn-Noranda’s very first luxury home. The route also includes a stop at the oldest building in the city: a log cabin now converted into a museum.

An immersive experience at the heart of an iconic industrial site, where the municipality’s history began.

*Children under 12 are not permitted on the tour.
