Local residents recognized its heritage value and later reopened the building as a museum. The building itself is part of the museum, which includes many of the religious artefacts that have been part of the church for many decades.
The Saint-Henri cemetery appears to be somewhat newer that the church, as the earliest burial recorded appears to be that of Elenora
Leger, born in 1837, who died in 1868. Of course, many cemeteries from this era experienced burials which went unrecorded or whose records were lost. However,
Father Antoine Gagnon, who oversaw the construction of the church, was buried in the church's crypt on June 5, 1849. Still in use, the cemetery has seen close to 500 burials to date.
