It was founded in 1964 by Denise Beaulne. In its early days, the museum was housed inside the City Hall of Coaticook. Twelve years later, it moved to the Norton Castle. This splendid house was built for Arthur Osmore Norton who made his fortune by manufacturing jacks for the railroad industry. Over the years, the Beaulne Museum has become a must-see attraction in the region. Furthermore, it offers temporary and permanent exhibits, events, an educational services and archives. Before entering the museum, visitors may enjoy the beautiful landscaped Norton gardens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center text-center pb-30px\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-xl-2 mb-10px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/about-us\/#history\" class=\"btn btn-avec-icon btn-avec-icon--dessus texte-cursif texte-tres-gros\"><span class=\"btn-avec-icon__container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/icon-sablier.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"57\" height=\"77\"><\/span> History<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-xl-2 mb-10px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/members\/\" class=\"btn btn-avec-icon btn-avec-icon--dessus texte-cursif texte-tres-gros\"><span class=\"btn-avec-icon__container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/icon-carte-de-membre.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"54\"><\/span> Members<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-xl-2 mb-10px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/board-of-directors\/\" class=\"btn btn-avec-icon btn-avec-icon--dessus texte-cursif texte-tres-gros\"><span class=\"btn-avec-icon__container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/icon-3-personnes.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"54\"><\/span> Board of Directors<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-xl-2 mb-10px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/about-us\/make-a-donation\/\" class=\"btn btn-avec-icon btn-avec-icon--dessus texte-cursif texte-tres-gros\"><span class=\"btn-avec-icon__container pl-25px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/icon-don.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"72\" height=\"53\"><\/span> Make a donation<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-3 col-xl-2 mb-10px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/mission\/\" class=\"btn btn-avec-icon btn-avec-icon--dessus texte-cursif texte-tres-gros\"><span class=\"btn-avec-icon__container pl-25px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/icon-mission.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"72\" height=\"53\"><\/span> Mission<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"parallax-item-container\">\n<div class=\"parallax-item\" id=\"parallax-item-1\" data-speed=\".5\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- \/\/Bande parallax --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Photo --><\/p>\n<section class=\"cms-repeatable\">\n<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center mb-40px zindex-10\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-2 mt-40px text-center texte-cursif texte-tres-moyen d-none d-xl-block wow fadeIn\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p>Arthur Osmore Norton <br \/>rocking himself on the <br \/>magnificent Norton Castle veranda <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-1 d-xl-none\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-3 col-xl-2 text-center texte-cursif mt-lg-n100px mb-30px zindex-10 wow slideInLeft\" editable=\"rich\">\n<div class=\"rotate-n3deg\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Arthur-Osmore-Norton-galerie-chateau.jpg\" alt=\"Arthur Osmore Norton au Mus\u00e9e Beaulne Coaticook\" width=\"1023\" height=\"1590\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"d-xl-none\">Arthur Osmore Norton <br \/>rocking himself on the <br \/>magnificent Norton Castle veranda<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4 text-center texte-cursif mt-lg-n170px ml-lg-n100px zindex-9 wow slideInRight\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p class=\"mb-10px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Arthur-Osmore-Norton-bureau.jpg\" alt=\"Bureau de Arthur Osmore Norton au Mus\u00e9e Beaulne Coaticook\" width=\"640\" height=\"280\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px\"><\/p>\n<p>Work office<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- \/\/Photo --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Historique --><\/p>\n<section id=\"history\" class=\"container cms-repeatable pb-80px wow fadeIn\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 texte-rouge\" editable=\"rich\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">History<\/h2>\n<p>The house that shelters the Beaulne Museum, also known as the &#8220;Norton Castle&#8221;, was built in 1912. In 1881 Arthur Osmore Norton was already living on Union Street, just in the front of the present Museum. After purchasing the adjacent lots, he had his house built in 1912. At the time, it was used as a secondary home for the Norton family. Arthur Osmore Norton, the father, had an office inside the home from where he also ran his business. Born in 1845 in Kingscroft, Arthur Osmore Norton started to learn about business at the age of 16 and worked as a clerk in a general&nbsp;store.<\/p>\n<p>In 1870 he married Helen Maria Richardson, the daughter of a prominent businessman. The couple had two children: Harry Norton and Mary Helen Norton. Harry married Sidney Elizabeth Austin in 1907. The couple did not have children. Helen, his sister, would remain single and after the death of their father in 1919, she would take care of their disabled mother who passed away in&nbsp;1929.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- \/\/Historique --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Famille --><\/p>\n<section class=\"cms-repeatable pt-60px pb-100px fond-fioriture\">\n<div class=\"container container-fluid-xl container-xl-1300px\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 mb-40px texte-cursif\">\n<p class=\"text-center wow fadeIn\" editable=\"rich\">Arthur Osmore Norton and his wife Helen Maria Richardson<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-8 pl-md-100px wow slideInLeft\" editable=\"rich\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Arthur-Osmore-Norton-1845-1919.jpg\" alt=\"Arthur Osmore Norton 1845-1919\" width=\"948\" height=\"1102\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px rotate-n3deg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 mt-50px wow slideInLeft\" editable=\"rich\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Helen-Maria-Richardson.jpg\" alt=\"Helen Maria Richardson\" width=\"948\" height=\"1102\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px rotate-5deg ml-lg-n100px mt-100px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 texte-cursif\">\n<p class=\"text-center wow fadeIn\" editable=\"rich\">Their two children<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-1 d-none d-md-block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 pl-md-50px wow slideInRight\">\n<div class=\"rotate-n3deg text-center\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Harry-Norton.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Norton\" width=\"351\" height=\"498\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 mt-50px pr-lg-50px ml-lg-n40px wow slideInRight\">\n<div class=\"rotate-5deg text-center\" editable=\"rich\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Mary-Helen-Norton.jpg\" alt=\"Mary Helen Norton\" width=\"400\" height=\"560\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px\"><\/p>\n<p>Mary Helen<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- Bande rouge - 2 colonnes --><\/p>\n<div class=\"section-bande-rouge cms-repeatable fond-rouge-fioriture fond-scratch fond-fonce wow fadeIn\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-7 pt-30px pt-lg-0 pr-lg-100px mb-30px\">\n<div class=\"lc-block\">\n<div editable=\"rich\">\n<h2 class=\"mt-0\">Railroad jack<\/h2>\n<p>Arthur Osmore Norton&#8217;s audacity and flair led him to purchase the patent for one of Frank Sleeper&#8217;s inventions.The ball bearing and gear railroad&nbsp;jack.<\/p>\n<p>He made his fortune manufacturing jacks in his factories of Coaticook and&nbsp;Boston.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/lc-block -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/col --><\/p>\n<div class=\"col-lg-4 mb-30px wow slideInRight\">\n<div class=\"lc-block\">\n<div editable=\"rich\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/cric-A-O-Norton-affiche.jpg\" alt=\"Railroad jack Old Poster Arthur Osmore Norton\" class=\"ombrage bordure bordure-blanche bordure-10px rotate-n3deg\" width=\"825\" height=\"1091\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/lc-block -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/col -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/\/Bande rouge - 2 colonnes --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Cric --><\/p>\n<div class=\"position-relative\">\n<div class=\"position-absolute zindex-10 d-none d-md-block wow slideInRight\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\" style=\"top: -420px; left: 65%;\">\n<div class=\"parallax-item-seul-righttoleft\" data-speed=\".4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/cric.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Invention of the railroad jack A-O Norton\" class=\"\" width=\"300\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/\/Cric --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Un style unique --><\/p>\n<section class=\"container cms-repeatable pt-80px pb-80px wow fadeIn\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12\" editable=\"rich\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">A unique style<\/h2>\n<p>The architectural style of this building is unique.
