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
We are back under the pines today after putting out all of our event posters. We have the best crew for being stuck in a vehicle with their boss for 8 hours…. Gosh we’ll miss them when they head back to school.
Good news is that we’ll be here all weekend long for tours and tales, bad news is that Piper David will not be here on Sunday. He sends his regrets and will return on September 13th for the scone social.
This is the last weekend of the season with the summer crew, and next week will be the last week of the summer season. 😔
If you have been putting off visiting … start the car! And drop by today. Doors open at 930! See you soon! 🤗
PS dong forget to register by the end of the day for the autumn pumpkin garland workshop taking place Wed Sept 2nd. 11-2pm
