It passed through seven different owners, many of which were of the Bellfontaine family before coming into the hands of the West Chezzetcook & Grand Desert Community Interest Group, who then converted the house into a museum.

The West Chezzetcook & Grand Desert Community Interest Group bought the house from Benjamin in 1997, converting it into a museum and officially opening in 2000.

"La Cabano" (The Shed) holds artifacts pertaining to agricultural activities, items for fishing, raising livestock, and various tools.

La Cuisine de Brigitte (Also known as The Tearoom) is a cafe independent from the museum, owned by Donna Goldworthy.

The Tearoom specializes in serving traditional Acadian food, and often caters to events hosted in conjunction with the museum.

Though the museum's regular season only runs from July to August, it hosts many local events throughout the year.

Day camps for children, focusing on teaching the French language and local history, are also held during the summer.
