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 Workshop Wednesday at the Hidden Gem today. Just a reminder that our start time is 1pm today.
We are still debating on whether to cancel our Ceilidh that is scheduled for this Friday night and will be making the decision by end of day. Unfortunately we have no confirmed musicians, singers or poets and with out those important elements it would not be a success. Please reach out to us asap if you do plan to participate.
We will be going ahead with our 3rd Annual Sunday Scone Social this coming Sunday Sept 13th from 11-4pm.
There’s no need for reservations, it’s pay as you arrive and you can enjoy them on site or take home for later. Gill always has plenty of flavor options to choose from. With two big scones you can easily share, but why should you when it’s just $10/ person and includes a beverage.
Our trails are starting to get seasonal and it’s always the most magical this time of year. Stop by the interpretive center for a tour or to check out the gift shop.
Doors open at 930 see you soon! 😊
