The Redpath Museum, one of the oldest museums in Canada, was opened in 1882 to preserve and display the valuable collections of Sir William Dawson, a noted Canadian natural scientist.
Without a doubt, one of the jewels of Westmount, and probably of Greater Montreal, is the Westmount Public Library.
Founded in 1969, Dawson College in Westmount was the first English-language Cegep in Quebec.
