La Pirogue Museum
Région touristique : Cabot Trail
La Pirogue Museum has a collection of over 2,500 artifacts depicting the Fisheries Industry of rural Cape Breton. The Robins Dynasty along with the co-operative movement is demonstrated in a way which visitors will learn how a small vibrant Acadian community has survived including the fishing industry over the last two centuries.
An old Acadian homestead along with the gallery of the sea will entice visitors to prolong their visit to our Museum. It is one of the only Museums to demonstrate the art of rag rugs using ancient methods.
