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.

It’s Llama Day! 🦙🦙🦙🦙
We are overwhelmed by the interest for walks this year and thank you all for your support.
Just a few housekeeping items for the event today.
1) For those with a confirmed reservation, please arrived at least 15 mins prior to the time given. You can enter the church on arrival to pay and get your tickets and instructions. If you arrive late you will be bumped for to the next group and we will replace you with the first from that group, however you risk the chance of missing out on getting to walk.
Walks will take approximately 20-25 mins this should include instructions and organizing humans with animals.
2) Please be patient with our staff as it is going to be a highly demanding day trying to make sure everyone gets the attention they deserve.
3) We will do our best to process everyone quickly, however the timings for walks and the amount of walks available will depend on the llamas themselves. If they don’t want to walk we will not be forcing them to do so. For their safety and yours.
4) We will be pairing two walkers per animal, this way we can do our best to fit everyone in. If you are a parent coming with young children by yourself, our staff can assist you on the trails if necessary. 2️⃣/🦙
5) Children 8 and younger must be accompanied with a paying adult. 🧑🧒
6) Please park to one side of the road only to allow for vehicle flow and emergencies. You can park in the Acadian monument field but please use caution and do not park in close proximity to the monuments. 🚗🚙🚖
7) In order to keep things flowing smoothly once you receive your tickets and walk times please remain close by so when you make is called you can respond quickly.
8 ) We want everyone to have fun and get an opportunity to meet the animals, just please respect those who have tickets to walk as they will be given priority. 🎟️
9) We apologize on advance if you are on the wait list and do not get a chance to walk, again we have more demand than supply and we want our wooly companions to be safe. ⛑️
Last but not least- Enjoy the day, have fun, we will do everything possible to keep everyone happy, but we need your cooperation and understanding to do so. 😛💟
We have plenty of flavours to choose from for sno- cones (fingers crossed out new ice machine holds up)🤞🤞
