We wouldn't have realized this building was worth going into if we hadn't gone into the gift shop attached to it. The lady in the gift shop told us to make sure to go next door between 2:30 and 4:30 because they were giving out a Newfoundland treat.
Normally, it would cost to go through the house, but it was free the whole week we were in town because of being Truth and Reconciliation week.
It is a historical house belonging to a woman and her family that lived here in the 1800's. There is a room full of information when you first come in, then you go into the kitchen where you can receive a different Newfoundland treat each day if you come between 2:30 and 4:30. The first day we were there, we sampled cod cakes and partridge berry pickles. (We came back the next day and sampled pork toutons (pork buns). The food was very good both days.
Then you can get a tour of the house with a guide that will give you loads of history of the family that lived there. In one room you can even dress up in clothing from the era.
The guides, Margo, Bonnie and Dennis, were great. They gave us so much information and were so friendly.
