Mulgrave Heritage Centre

Mulgrave Heritage Centre Our museum / visitor information centre features a collection of the town's railway, war, fishery and ferry history. Admission is by donation. All Aboard!

In addition local artisans have skillfully crafted models of vessels that once serviced the area. The museum is driven by a small volunteer group and community donations. During July and August (until the 20th) we have 2 summer students to assist our visitors. In the off season we still welcome visitors but we will need to plan for one of our volunteers to be available. Please reach out to us by messenger or email so we can ensure we are open for you if you are visiting the area.

Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts ☕🌊

To everyone who joined us for Tea by the Sea yesterday — thank you. Your presence, support, and shared conversations mean so much to us and to the continued work of the Museum. We hope you enjoyed the atmosphere, the company, and of course, the tastes of summer.

Special thanks to The Front Porch and Atlantic Superstore for their generous contributions to our menu — your support helped create a truly memorable event.

We’d love to hear your thoughts — what did you enjoy most? Would you be interested in attending a Halloween-themed tea this fall? Your feedback will help us shape future gatherings and ensure they’re just as meaningful and delicious.

With gratitude,
💙 The Museum Team
