Grand Manan Historical Museum

New Brunswick


This museum makes a good destination on a foggy day. Its diverse collection of local artifacts provides a quick primer on island history. You can see a display on shipwreck lore and the original kerosene lamp from nearby Gannet Rock lighthouse (1904). There is also a room stuffed with 200-plus taxidermied birds (including the now-extinct passenger pigeon).

In summer the museum hosts a number of evening lectures with some quality speakers, community classes and activities.
