MUSEUM
Imagine a museum experience unlike any other.
With 400 years of history behind it, the Cupids Museum celebrates Canada’s first English settlement and the community that’s grown around it. The main exhibit tells the personal stories and struggles of John Guy and other settlers. Using multimedia, artifacts and of course, fun, visitors will uncover the living, breathing history of Cupids' legacy.
See, hear, read, and explore how life has changed on the shores of Conception Bay over four action-packed centuries.
The exhibits represent a small fraction of over 170,000 artifacts uncovered to date and every artifact on display is the product of painstaking archaeological work by Bill Gilbert and his team from the Baccalieu Trail Heritage Corporation at the Cupids Cove Plantation PHS, just a five minute walk from the Cupids Legacy Centre. The exhibit then traces the evolution of lifestyles produced by generations of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians that followed, settled and prospered in this New Found Land.
