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 our lest this season with the camp kids, what a blast it’s been. We have hidden 360 miniature gnomes and squirrels over the past 8 weeks and will have 8 weekly winners of a goodie bag filled with games, books and treats by the end of the day.
We have been offering this hide and seek program for three summers now and it never grows old. I think we have more fun hiding the creatures than the kids do finding them.
The trails will quiet between 9-1030 from here on but we’ll definitely be hiding our left over creatures during the Haggis Hunt for some added mystery and fun.
Now we get to decide what creature will be the feature of next year’s hunt 🦩🦊🐸🦄🐙🦕 so many choices to chose from.
The weather looks agreeable for the better part of the weekend ahead. Don’t forget to register for our Resin Workshop before the end of the day tomorrow. There are only 5 seats available.
The Women of the Point and Piper David are back under the pines on Sunday starting at 2pm.
Today come take a walk on our historic trails and enjoy the last rays of summer sunshine, and don’t forget to drop in to visit our crew in the Interpretive Centre. Your last day to take a tour with them is September 4th.
Doors open at 930, see you soon!

Oh my gosh can you believe we’re midway through another week? This is the last one with our campers from the Miramichi Bible Camp. We’ve had so much fun hiding mini gnomes and squirrels on the trails for them this year.
Our little library was well visited over the weekend, so much so, we had to restock it this week.
We’ve had visitors from Croatia, Hungary and Australia the past few days and we still have a little over two and a half weeks left with our summer crew but we still haven’t seen you.
There’s still a few seats left for our Resin Coaster workshop next Wednesday. If you’re debating taking part don’t wait until the last minute to register or you may miss out. Space is limited. Call or email today.
Another mixed bag of weather is ahead for the day, but we’ll be overjoyed to see visitors.
Doors open at 930am, what’s keeping you? 😊
