How to get here.
What can I do here?
- Start at the Cupids Cove Plantation Provincial Historic Site.
- Walk around the active archaeological dig site - here you can see the cobblestone floors and foundations of buildings that John Guy and his colonists actually built 400 years ago. Talk to an archaeologist about what they're uncovering today about the lives of Canada's first English settlers.
- Walk the trail to the lookout behind the site to see why John Guy chose this harbour to set down roots.
- Walk along the waterfront to the Cupids Legacy Centre (opens mid-June). Tour new state-of-the-art exhibits, get a background to the story of John Guy and his colony. Visit the archeology lab in the building to see what archeologists here are working on.
