At one point, they were the center of one of North America’s biggest tourist attractions. Today, only Annette and Cécile are alive. This video is from 1998, when they filmed

Visit the Dionne Quints Home Museum with me! Located in North Bay, Ontario, the original Dionne home where the Quintuplets were born on this day in 1934, is now a museum to commemorate the lives of these five famous women and their family. Many of the items on display belonged to and were used daily by the Dionne family. #dionnequintuplets #dionnequints #dionnequintshomemuseum #northbayontario #ontario #canada
