Did you know that Murdochville was a major mining town throughout the second half of the 20th century? Try to imagine 125 km of roads in the underground tunnels! And that’s not all, its industrial complex held one of the world’s largest smelters. In a way, the Copper Mountain and Needle Mountain copper deposits are part of our community’s industrial history. Every member of the community held rare expertise in the science of copper. Whether you’re interested in geology, industry, physics or the development of Murdochville, you’ll find resources here sure to hold your attention for hours. This is how the Interpretation Centre has chosen to leave its mark – by sharing its enthusiasm about copper!
