There’s a rich mining history in Baie Verte, Newfoundland that continues to the present day-and the Miners Museum in the community digs deep into its lore. Located at Terra Nova Mine, which operated from 1860 until 1864 and again between 1901 and 1915, the exhibit covers the range of minerals and rocks found in the Baie Verte Peninsula that made the mines a valuable going concern.
A tunnel in the museum simulates an underground mine which visitors can walk through to view the many mining artifacts for a trip back to a time when mining was a lifeblood of this community.
