The museum, in operation since 1973, is housed in the former Anglican Church Rectory built at the turn of the century. The museum features rooms furnished in the style of that period along with exhibits dedicated to special people.
There are collections of family histories, historical photographs, local cemetary data, Beothuk and Maritime Archaic Indian artifacts. A well stocked craft shop features local arts and crafts, souvenirs and a wide selection of Newfoundland and Labrador books. |
