Protestantism came to the Miramichi between 1765 and 1800 with the arrival of Scottish Immigrants. The first Presbyterian Church on the river was established at Wilson’s Point after 1792. The first Minister was the Rev. John Urquhart, who held services on alternate Sundays at Wilson’s Point and a second church at Moorfield. Rev. Urquhart drowned in 1814 while crossing the Miramichi River.

A Must-See cultural attraction located in Bartibog in a pastoral setting overlooking the Miramichi River. A tour of the restored property, in the company of costumed guides, will take you back to the 1820s when the family of Scottish settler, Alexander MacDonald, helped to develop the area. Visit the grand manor house made of Scottish stone, savour the smells of traditional foods, view embroidery and domestic crafts, and observe gardening and the daily care of farm animals.
Wilson's Point ~ At the Enclosure
Wilson's Point is a site with great significance to the history of Miramichi. Many of the earliest English speaking settlers lived and were buried in this area and it holds the history of our Scottish ancestors.

With Fall right around the corner we are starting to plan our annual Great Miramichi Haggis Hunt and Fall Fair.
This is our third year and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever! We’re very excited to have Atlantic Lotto as a sponsor. More on that later.
This event is a family favorite and our vendors make it extra special. We are looking to add to our vendor list. We do our best to make sure all items are one of a kind so everyone has a chance to sell their wares.
If you have something unique, like jewellry made from old utensils or fresh beef or pork or dried fruits, fresh juice, salsa or stain glass, tin smithing, wrought iron, or rustic crafts etc., we would be interested in hearing from you.
Please call or email at your earliest convenience.
Today we’ll be hosting another Workshop Wednesday with Shelley. So drop in to see our crafters at work making fall theme bowl filler pillows.
Take advantage of those last golden days of summer and check out our historic trails.
We’re here 930-430 see you soon! 🙂

It’s our last weekend of the summer season. We honestly don’t know how we got here so fast.
As much as we hate to see the beach weather leave, we absolutely love autumn under the pines.
Come take advantage of what is left of those summer rays. We’ll be here all weekend long.
Resident Piper is back tomorrow after a long hiatus, rumour has it that he can’t wait to wonder all willy nilly along the trails.
Drop in to visit our fabulous crew before they head back to school and if pumpkin spice season is calling you, we have a sweeter fix in the form of maple: Maritime Maples syrup, Saltwinds maple coffee and Cape Breton Tea Co. maple tea. The perfect trifecta!
We’re open 930-430 see you soon! 😊🍁
