Visitors can see at the museum how a rug is crafted.
About forty years ago, a rich American who used to vacation in Ch ticamp during the summer saw a good business opportunity in the hooked rugs she saw there. She would place orders when she arrived and then leave at the end of the season loaded down with beautiful rugs to sell for profit. After a few years, the craftspeople saw that it would be better if they formed a cooperative and opened a store, rather than filling the pockets of a foreigner. A few years later, a museum was added to explain to visitors the art of hooking rugs. In 1976, a restaurant serving Acadian specialities was opened, also bringing in more customers.
