The regional capital of Les Appalaches County, Thetford Mines was founded in 1876 following the discovery of an asbestos deposit, more precisely chrysotile. Since then, mining operations have forged the city's identity, not to mention the entire region. A visit to the Minero museum is a must to understand the importance of this activity. From June to October, you can even visit the King Mine Historical Center (reservations required, no underground access). But today, all the mines are closed and the town's economy has diversified. If you don't want to miss anything about Thetford, visit the tourist office located on Frontenac Boulevard West.
