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 Friday which means tonight is the first of our haunted events.
Haunted Tales in the Cemetery with Storyteller Calum Lykan takes place tonight with two tour times available; 630pm and 8 pm.
Tickets can be purchased in the little church when you arrive. Please come at least 10 mins before departure times. If you are late for the first session you will have to wait until the second.
Dress warm, bring a lawn chair and flash light if you’d like as each session will last between 45-60mins.
We’ll have hot chocolate available in the church to take with you. It’s complimentary.
Tickets are $15/person please use parental discretion. There are no jump scares but it’s pretty creepy in the darkness of a 250 year old graveyard and you never know what or who is lurking in the shadows.
Use caution when parking and if you need to park along the road please go to the right side as you come into the site.
As for today, we’ll be tucked up in the little church for our second to last day of the season but will be closing early so we can return for tonight’s event.
We still have a bit of coffee and tea left and a great variety of candy and fudge all buy one get one free.
See you soon!
