Wilson's Point Historic Site
At the point where the North and South Branches of the Miramichi River converge lies the nationally recognized and protected heritage site with a panoramic view. Make your way to the end of the Enclosure Road where you will find a hidden little gem in the form of Wilson’s Point Historic Site. The Earliest English speaking settlers (Scottish) who arrived in 1765 lived, socialized, did business and were buried here. Their history is lovingly preserved by The Scottish Heritage Association Miramichi who have restored the original grave sites including that of founding father William Davidson, the historic walking trails, installed a wharf, trading post and built an interpretive center. Wilson's Point Historic Point not only contains the Scottish Ancestry of the river, but also has great archeological significance and deep rooted connections to the Mi'kmaq peoples, as well as, the French, Acadians and Loyalists who have all helped establish the rich history of this beautiful river region dating well beyond three thousand years.

LATEST UPDATES
The latest from our Facebook page
Our social media has been gaining followers and likes on all channels this summer, but especially so on TikTok.
We do our best to market to all age demographics and if we want interest in heritage and tourism to continue we need to engage youth.
Well TikTok is the place to be for that and the mastermind behind that account for the past three summers is Kalen.
The things he comes up with and goes through for views and likes is astounding. Pictured below is him dressed as a wolf spider. We meet them nose to nose some days when we open up the Trading Post or sometimes right inside the church. They’re thick this year for sure. Harmless mind you but creepy 😳
Marty has been racking up followers and likes on Instagram and even our Facebook has increased in followers and we can’t LOVE it enough.
If you’re not following us on our other accounts definitely go check them out.
Another raining day ahead, we definitely need it, just not all at once. We’ll be tucked up tight inside waiting for you to visit, the days are quickly being ticked off to the end of our summer season. Don’t miss your chance to meet our fabulous crew including Kalen and Marty.
We open at 930, see you soon! 😊

Our annual Sunday Scone Social will be taking place on Sept 15th from 11-4pm. You’ll be swept up in Scottish flavor with delicious scone, bagpipes and stories.
We still have some fabulous workshops to check out including paint classes, wreath making, needle felting and glass mosaics.
Then comes the biggest event of the fall: The Great Miramichi Haggis Hunt and Fall Fair. If you have traditional or farm market items and would like to be a vendor please contact us. We do our best to keep things unique and “one ofs” as well high end handmade.
We’ll wrap up the fall season with two very special haunted story night experiences; one outside in the shadows of our ancient cemetery and the other tucked up in the safety of the little church. No matter which you chose Calum Lykan will have you covered in goose bumps. M
There’s rain ahead but it’s always cozy inside the Interpretive Center. Our phenomenal summer staff has almost recovered from the Highland Games and will be thrilled to have you visit.
