Spur of the moment decision to come here as our intended destination turned out to be too far on such a rainy day. And this was well worth the visit. From the more than reasonable admission price, to the beautiful architecture of the church, both inside & out, to the variety of exhibits within the museum. (Mi'kmaq, Acadians, ships & sailing vessels, china & pottery, period rooms, stagecoach) If you've got the time, be sure to ask for a tour of the Pelton-Fuller house next door, its well worth the visit too, especially if you're old enough to remember the Fullerbrush Man !!!

A very extensive history museum. Many artifacts from shipping, Mi'kmaw artifacts and history were especially noteworthy. The best display was the mastodon exhibit on the lower level. A find in 1991 proved to be a treasure trove of skeletal remains, and the story and display are worth the trip to this museum. Very well maintained.

Eclectic collection with many interesting things for all ages. Admission fee only $3. Great place to go on a rainy day. There is a small gift shop, clean bathroom, and free parking on premises. Didn't have time to see Pelton-Fuller house, which you need to sign up for a timed tour at admissions or transportation section to see electric car, so be sure to do that if you have time.
