The properties celebrate the presence of Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell in Northern Newfoundland and Labrador, and the impact that he and his worldwide mission had on the social, medical and economic climate of the early 1900s. The historic properties equally tell the story of the evolution of Northern Newfoundland and Labrador and the people of the region over the last 100 years. This newly constructed centre interprets the life and times of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell through a gallery of interpretative paneling and displays. A 14 minute video presentation is also available to give visitors a brief insight into the life of Dr. Grenfell and the work of the Grenfell Mission. During your visit, check out the Grenfell Handicrafts located near the reception area.
Products vary from hooked rugs to embroidered outerwear.
