Broom Point Historical Exhibit

4.3(7 reviews)

About

Broom Point Historical Exhibit in Newfoundland can be found at Terranova y Labrador A0K 4Y0, on the island's western coast. The site is known as a historical exhibit tied to the region around Gros Morne, and the website at https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nl/grosmorne/activ/decouverte-tours/bp carries the exhibit's own information.

First-time visitors can expect a small interpretive site rather than a large museum complex, with the surrounding Gros Morne area providing the wider context. Visitors have given Broom Point Historical Exhibit an average of 4.3 out of 5 across 7 reviews, a modest tally that reflects the site's scale and its distance from the main centres.

St John's, Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Twillingate, Bonavista and Trinity are the island's main communities, and the western coast address places the exhibit within reach of Corner Brook and the Gros Morne region. Canadian island waters support orcas, humpback whales, grey and harbour seals, and bald eagles, so the coastline here has its own draw.

Fishing, sealing and shipbuilding shaped island communities, and Celtic music survives in Cape Breton and Newfoundland, which gives the western coast its particular character. Norse settlers reached L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland around 1000 AD, and Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, so the island's story reaches back well beyond the exhibit itself.
