MIDDLE ISLAND IRISH HISTORICAL PARK

One of the most thought-provoking historical parks, Middle Island is located approximately 2 km east of the Historic Chatham Business District, accessible via a short causeway. Early records recount that the Island was known by the Mi’kmaq name, “Hiksenogowakun”, meaning place for sick people. It was also named Hospital Island in relation to its use as a quarantine station. In 1873, Middle Island was designated as the site for a permanent quarantine station, and remained so until 1948. A. D. Shirreff called it “Barrataria” when he established a fishing business there in 1827. 2345 Water Street. middleislandmiramichi.com | 506773-7505

WILSON’S POINT

This remarkable site is a must see! It is of great significance to the history of Miramichi, dedicated to the early Scottish settlers who established the first English-speaking settlement at Wilson’s Point in 1765. They also built St. James Presbyterian Church in 1790, the first Protestant Church in the area. The old Presbyterian Church graveyard has been preserved and headstones date back to the 1700s. Enjoy a replica of the original church that houses an interpretive centre as well as a traditional trading post.

The Nelson Hollow Bridge is believed to be the oldest covered bridge in New Brunswick and the only remaining covered bridge still standing in Northumberland County, it is located between Boiestown and Doaktown, over a small brook named “Mill Brook”. It is the only bridge in the province to have a cottage-style roof. The bridge was first constructed in 1870 and rebuilt in 1899. It is 24.5 m long and spans Betts Mill Brook, about 4 km west of Doaktown. In 1977 it was restored by the Doaktown Historical Society. The view is spectacular as you walk across this amazing structure and you might even steal a kiss.

PRICEVILLE FOOTBRIDGE

The Priceville Footbridge is one of the great wonders of the Miramichi. Allow yourself to travel back through time on this suspension footbridge, which spans the mystical waters of the Miramichi River, joining the communities of Priceville and McNamee; commonly known as the “swinging” footbridge. On May 10, 1939, tragedy befell these communities when the Miramichi River was in full flood and the middle of the footbridge hung only a few inches above the water. The suspension bridge was caught by flowing ice and flipped over, breaking the supporting cables. Check out the rest of its history at the bridge.

The Doak Historic Site commemorates Scottish entrepreneur Robert Doak and his family who moved to the Upper Miramichi River area in the early 1820s. Here he established a carding mill, a grist mill and a sawmill as well as becoming heavily involved in the affairs of his adopted community. Such was the respect afforded “Squire” Doak by local residents that in 1854 when a new roadway was built linking the community with Fredericton and Newcastle, the village was renamed “Doaktown” in his honour. Visit the Doak House and note the architectural importance of its buildings and the richness of its original furniture preserved by several generations of the Doak Family. Come visit our new welcome center; a replica of Squire Doak’s original barn, featuring a gift shop and artifacts from the community 386 Main Street, Doaktown. atlanticsalmonmuseum.com/doak-house | 506-365-2026
