The sculptors Louis-Philippe Hébert (1850-1917) and Henri Hébert (1884-1950) gave this maquette of the statue of Evangeline to the poet Alphonse Désilets of Québec City. In his will, the poet bequeathed the maquette to Lorraine Allain Robitaille from Bouctouche, New Brunswick, who later entrusted it to Pierre Cormier of Bouctouche. On this October 28th, 2011, Pierre Cormier donated it to the Société Promotion Grand-Pré.

The maquette is on permanent display in the Grand-Pré Art Gallery at Grand-Pré National Historic Site.
