It's an amazing facility for so many people to visit and explore the history of Miramichi and their connection to it. Take a boat ride to the Island itself and experience the entertaining character tours.
Great for educational groups. Make a day of it!
Although there are very few reviews about this historic site on trip advisor, the ones that are caused us to plan our day activities around the 2 o'clock program,Tour through Time. We are so pleased that we had this wonderful experience. We found the staff at the interpretation center well knowledgeable, personable, and excellent persons in character. For over two hours, we were treated to the wonderful history of the area and the island and entertained in a fun but professional manner.
This program has been available during the summer for several years and many of the staff have served for multiple years. We highly recommend this program and planning your 2017 activities.
Canada should be very proud of this historic site and the staff at this facility.
We went to the Island by pontoon boat. Rich in history and and authenticity. Early acadian settlers as well as Scottish settlement of ship builders and lumber industry. Well worth the visit especially for youngsters eager to learn about the past.
Loved it. The players did an excellent job of portraying the characters of that period. Looking forward to going back this summer.
The interpretive center is amazing! My daughter went last summer for her end of year field trip. The narrators are amazing and very much in character. There was so much history, that I myself as a Miramichier did not know that I learned that day. Definitely worth a visit.
The 2 PM daily Tour through Time includes a boat ride on the beautiful Miramichi River, two stops at National Historic Sites, a knowledgeable tour guide and a full cast of talented characters. For those who love history, nature, want to get to know the area, or who love a great performance, you're sure to enjoy yourself.
