Event Details - Walking Tour of Historic Nelson

The Friends of Beaubears Island and their community partners will look to raise awareness of the history in the former village of Nelson-Miramichi, while holding this soundly-planned, social distanced, outdoor event on Saturday, December 12th, 2020 from 12 pm noon to 3 pm, known as “Walking Tour of Historic Nelson”.

The tour, conducted by local guides for individually bubbled groups, will begin at the Beaubears Island Interpretive Centre (35 Saint Patrick’s Drive) and incorporate Saint Patrick’s Drive, sections of Sutton Road, and Rodney Green Street.

The experience will feature commentary on several historic sites in the Nelson area, including the Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, the Nelson Post Office, Nelson Rural School, Governor’s Mansion, the Nelson Senior Citizens Centre, and a good deal more.
