The Conception Bay Museum offers a unique heritage and cultural experience for those interested in the history of Harbour Grace and Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Currently at the Museum, we have:
• our 'Aviation Room,' renovated in 2022, where visitors can learn about Harbour Grace’s important role in transatlantic aviation (including the story of the world’s most well-known female pilot, Amelia Earhart!);
• a 'Pirate Room,' which contains storyboards relating to Peter Easton’s adventures in Newfoundland and on the Atlantic;
• a 'World War Exhibit' (with regimental uniforms), dedicated to the island’s military and naval legacy; and
• a 'Period Setting Room,' filled with traditional late-nineteenth-century artifacts; and
• a rotating exhibit space, which currently houses our anniversary exhibit, '150 Years of the Customs House'
Guests receive guided tours through each room, with presentations specially catered depending on age level, general comprehension, and relevance. The Museum is open seasonally from May until September.
