Families from the region donate homes built between 1810 and 1910, which the Village team previously identified during their hunt in 1976. These houses from the municipalities of Saint-Elphege, La Visitation, Saint-Zéphirin, Saint-Germain, Saint-David, Notre-du-Bon-Conseil, and Saint-Joachin-de-Courval are moved to the site near the Saint-Francois River by the carriers Turcotte, Gagné, and Lafrenière without the use of modern tools or machinery. During this phase, the participation of numerous partners—including the Ministère des Transports, Hydro-Québec, Télébec, Bell Canada, the Sûreté du Québec, and the municipalities themselves—is invaluable.
