Port Hastings Museum

Hundreds of photographs, archival and genealogical records and other artifacts relating to the construction and impact of the Canso Causeway, the industries and lifestyle of the area which was settled in 1788 tell our story.


We cover down route 19 through Troy, Creignish, Craigmore to the bridge in Long Point, out Creignish Rear and South Rhodena, back in to Queensville and Lexington, across to Mackdale, Askilton, Sugar Camp, Barberton, Crandall Road, MacIntyre's Lake, Sunnyside and Bear Head, Point Tupper, Mulgrave and back across to Port Hawkesbury and Port Hastings. These areas have been covered since the beginning of our story because of the train and car ferries initially in history and then after the completion of the Causeway, the industries that established down in the Point Tupper, Sunnyside areas and the critical impact which it all made on the town of Mulgrave.
