International Museum Day! Museums remind us of our shared history throughout the world and our connections. In the Blackhead Museum we share our history through genealogy. Our early families came mainly from Ireland, England and Sweden. We harvested codfish to feed people all over the world including England, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. WWII brought Canadians and Americans to Fort Cape Spear, and we welcomed them. There is much more that connects us in this world than separates us!
