At first I thought this museum was further north, however it is on the main road. The museum is most interesting, especially the way items are displayed & the explanation boards. If you are interested in the history of the Highlands, shipwreck memorabilia & what explorers wore, this is a charming museum. The staff was helpful & the price is... More

The museum does an excellent job of presenting the rich local history in an accessible and brisk way. The current exhibit on the weather of Cape Breton is fascinating (who'd think.)

Beautiful artifacts, a working forge, a set of small gardens. An all-around... More
