A private initiative

A nonprofit organization founded by Francis H. Cabot in 1991


The Cabots, a family with deep Charlevoix roots

The Cabot family has been coming to the La Malbaie area since the middle of the 19th century, when Francis H. Cabot’s grandparents purchased the Mount Murray Seigneury to the east of the Malbaie River. They inspired an abiding love of the Charlevoix region in their descendants.

A new beginning

Since Francis’s death, the Héritage Charlevoix board, which is chaired by his son F. Colin Cabot, has made it their mission to safeguard in perpetuity the substantial private investments the organization’s founders made in the historic sites the organization stewards while contributing to the region’s development and well-being.
