W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum

Step across the threshold and back in time at the W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum. Explore the Sweeney marine heritage through unique exhibits: a simulation of a traditional fishing wharf, complete with fishing, processing and ship repair sheds, wharf decks and even a coastal freighter.

A small but beautiful museum to learn about the history of Sweeney Fisheries. We were here for research, but this is a museum for everyone interested in the fish industry and fishing boats etc.

Musee des Acadiens des Pubnicos & Research Center

Acadian History spanning more than four centuries waits to be discovered. Museum, research Center, History, arts and crafts, quilting, gift shop

Reviewed By E6003IXlindar - Canada, null

Great setting, layout just right, interpretive guides in their period clothes were tremendous. They were very friendly and informative, clearly enjoying their work. The gift shop also suited the pioneer focus with homemade products including metal work from the forge, woolen accessories and preserves. There's also a café but our timing was not appropriate.
