Northumberland Shore History & Culture
Browse Northumberland Shore History & Cultural Interest Options
From the stories told by fossils millions of years old preserved in the coastal rocks of places like Brule, to the stories told around the ceremonial fire at an annual pow wow, to the stories woven into the very tartan of the kilts worn by competitors at the Highland Games or families picnicking at the Gathering of the Clans, our history is rich, long, and alive. No matter where you turn along our curving 450 km (280 mi.) of coastline, you will find an exciting, engaging opportunity to embrace the essence of our culture. Take in one of our annual festivals like the Hector Festival, New Scotland Days, or the Tatamagouche Tattoo. Spend an afternoon at a museum or seaside interpretive centre like Ballantyne's Cove's Bluefin Tuna Interpretive Centre. Or enroll in a Gaelic summer immersion program at St. Francis Xavier University. However deep into the past you'd like to go, we invite you to embrace our heritage as your own.
