English history of French city
Morrin Centre的点评
点评：The Morrin Center is a leading English-language cultural center in Quebec… and a former dismal prison, Quebec Common Gaol (1812-1867). We have seen the cold gloomy cells unprotected from weather conditions, learned about the prisoners…some of them were 7-12 years old kids incarcerated for a week or two for minor offenses and homeless women with children, who didn’t mind to go to prison to have guaranteed food and roof over their heads. In 1867 the Gaol was closed and the prisoners were transferred to the new prison.
It was a good move for the city because Dr.Joseph Morrin, former mayor and prominent Quebec City doctor, opened a college for English speaking students named after him: the Morrin College. This college is associated with prestigious McGill University in Montreal.
Since 1824, Morrin Center houses Literary and Historical Society of Quebec and is recognized as National Historic Site of Canada.
The most fascinating attraction is its library built in Victorian style. It is home to thousands of books and is a functioning library now.
Our guide, Jennifer, was excellent and we learned very interesting facts about the history of the city, unbeknownst to us despite our two previous visits.

翻译：莫林中心是魁北克省首屈一指的英语文化中心……它曾是一座阴暗的监狱——魁北克普通监狱（1812-1867）。我们目睹了阴冷阴暗、毫无防备的牢房，了解了囚犯们的处境……其中一些是7-12岁的孩子，因轻微罪行被监禁一两周，还有一些带着孩子的无家可归的妇女，她们为了有饭吃、有住处，不惜入狱。1867年，监狱关闭，囚犯们被转移到新监狱。
这对这座城市来说是一个明智的举措，因为前魁北克市长、著名医生约瑟夫·莫林博士开办了一所以他的名字命名的英语系学生学院：莫林学院。这所学院与蒙特利尔著名的麦吉尔大学有关联。
自1824年以来，莫林中心一直是魁北克文学与历史学会的所在地，并被认定为加拿大国家历史遗址。
最引人入胜的景点是维多利亚风格的图书馆。它藏书数千册，目前仍在正常运营。
我们的导游詹妮弗非常出色，她让我们了解到这座城市非常有趣的历史，尽管我们之前已经来过两次，但之前并不知道这些。
