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.

And suddenly it’s all over.
Thank you to everyone who came out to a Hidden Gem Christmas Tea and concert.
Our guests were fabulous at both seatings, but there’s something about the morning bunch who always seem a bit rowdier 😉
We love having Patrick and Dan from the Steeves Brothers Bearded Bards on the grounds and it was even better to have them in the building, those lads can certainly harmonize and play a tune.
Calum Lykan’s storytelling never disappoints, so lively and quick witted and those facial expressions just add the perfect touch to all of his stories.
These wonderful gents made this year’s tea mighty merry thank you so much. ☺️
Big shout out to our Queen baker Gill for all of her hard work and delicious baking and to her wonderful husband Neil and daughter Naomi who got roped into our madness and helped prep, serve and clean up and to the little queen bee Marlee who was a godsend in getting the church ready and for helping out serving and everything else that was asked of her. With out this crew we couldn’t have pull it all off. ♥️
To Leslie aka my Momma for sewing and gluing and making the air blue when she burnt herself with the glue gun more than once, thank you for helping when asked and supporting behind the scenes. 💕
Thank you as well to Chef Lee at Carrefour Beausoleil for making the sandwiches for us, his team were wonderful to accommodate us. 😊
We hope everyone left with full tummies and a little Christmas spirit to start the holiday season off right.🤗
We’re already starting to plan for next year but first we need a wee rest. 😉
Cheers! 🎄🫖🎻
