We offer picnic lunches! In a bread box! It is truly a nod to times of long ago when we’d pack up our food in a bread box for a day on the water. Book this unique experience today and enjoy exploring our Peninsula. The bread box requires a $50 refundable security deposit. Lunch is reasonably priced at $15.50 and we’d like at least a two-hour notice. Book yours today by calling 709 786-3355.
We’re so excited to share our upcoming Music & Morsel events for July. You’re invited to join us Tuesday afternoon’s from 2 – 4 pm for some toe tapping music and a sampler board of traditional sweet & savoury treats. We look forward to seeing you every Tuesday.

To Shirley, Ross, Iris, Ina, Ivy, Laverna, Blair their families, and to all of Vern’s extended family and friends please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Vern was a member of the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society since the very beginning back in the 90’s and have been a dedicated member right up to the time of his passing. Not only with the Heritage but with the Fishermen’s Museum. His love for the peninsula and his volunteer work will be missed. He was always there to lend an hand, his truck, his tools, his financial support whatever you needed and he had it we got it!
He will be missed around the table when we have our meetings or just to meet for a lunch. When we meet again, he will be fondly remember and there will be many conversations of Vern and how much he will be missed.
He dedicated his life to helping others and will be sadly missed.
