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.

Can someone please explain how we are only two weeks away from the Great Miramichi Haggis Hunt and Fall Fair? 😳
So much to do and so little time to do it, but we’ll get ‘er done no fear. 😬
We have a phenomenal line of of vendors for the market this year and still have room for more if you are interested. We’d love some pottery, stain glasses, leather goods or fresh chicken or beef.
The boys are back under the pines this Sunday with Calum on story detail and Piper David in charge of the music. Looking to learn how to wear a great kilt? Calum can teach you. Be sure to bring the family out for fall photos and make a day of it.
We’ll be manning the interpretive center all weekend long, stop in for a tour or to check out our gift shop. We have some great mugs to enjoy hot chocolate by the fire with or some local honey and maple syrup.
Door open at 930, see you soon! ☺️

Another fantastic workshop Wednesday took place yesterday. Not everyone finished by the end of class but those who did definitely gave of a herd like no other. Adorbs!
Next week’s gelli print class is filling up quick, seating is limited so be sure to register by tomorrow ( Friday, Sep 25th) by 4pm.
We’ve just become aware that some unsavoury creatures are commenting on our posts about market vendors. Please do not reach out to anyone other than us directly. We do not comment from any other page than this one. It never fails that scammers appear when you least expect them. There is no table rental fee for our market so please don’t get roped into sending money to “scam organizers”.
We’ll be enjoying the sunshine and fall air under the pines today beginning at 930, it’s been a busy week with visitors in from France, Scotland, Norway and the Yukon … but we haven’t seen you.
Make today the day to come visit! 😊
