History
Nancy, France 1850
Le baron Guerrier de Dumast a lancé le slogan « nationalité lorraine», Jean Cayon est l'auteur d'une Histoire de Nancy que l'on s'arrache en 1846, les ouvrages sur la Lorraine se multiplient. Le Musée Lorrain qui s'établit en 1850 en vieille ville va permettre d'édifier un lieu du souvenir. Parmi les engagements de la bonne société, la découverte du monde des plantes où le Professeur Godron (1807-1880) joue une partie décisive.

place of remembrance
Note from asker:
| Yes that was my first thought. I can understand a war museum as a place of remembrance. But a museum showing mainly articles from a particular region must have a better title. Don't you think? |
| Perhaps a bit clumsy but: In 1850, the opening of the Musée Lorrain in the old town saw the construction of an establishment dedicated to the remembrance of the region’s history. What do you think? |
| "preserving the region's history"? |
| What about 'heritage' in place of history? |
| I agree, no good what-so-ever. |

a place for memories
Better "memories" than "memory", I think...

memorial
In British English this can mean a site, with a statue of honour, often with a list of names. eg war memorial. Place of rememberance sounds good, but memorial or war memorial is a more usual figure of speech.

Alain Pommet
: Sorry to be difficult but a 'heritage site' in 1850 is completely anachronistic!

you're probably right Alain ... commemorative might work but your 'recalling the past is a good option. You should post it. I'll leave it anyway as it could help someone in another context
