Beothuk Interpretation Centre
Boyd's Cove, off Highway 340, 1 hour north of Gander,
Newfoundland and Labrador. How to get here.
Imagine... a now-extinct people with a unique language and culture, thriving on the rich resources of the land and sea: seals, birds, fish...
300 years ago, this site was a Beothuk village. Tour the interpretation centre where exhibits and artifacts foster an appreciation for this unique, and now vanished culture.
From the interpretation centre, follow a 1.5 km groomed walking trail to the village site - today the outline of housepits is the only evidence of the Beothuk people who once lived here. Along the trail, a sculpture designed by renowned Newfoundland artist Gerald Squires, evokes the tragedy and loss of the Beothuks' demise.
