St. Edmund’s Museum

The Museum is the former St. Edmunds Settlement School, and was opened in May 1967. The building, which dates back to 1898, houses land deeds and registers, together with many photographs following the history of the people in this area. The ground floor also has displays showing lumbering, which together with fishing and hunting, were the main occupations. A newly completed fishing diorama is now on display.

Marine

The upper floor is dedicated to marine history – displaying maps, descriptions of old boats and relics from shipwrecks. The display provides an insight into the way of life in this area at that time, with many examples of tools and how they were used.

Log Cabin

On the grounds is a log house, built in 1875 and moved to the present location in 1971. It is furnished as the house would have been in the 19th century including pots, pans, china and linen. The log cabin has been renovated and is now open to the public.
