Step
back in time as you visit the Miners' Village. Located next to the
Museum, these historic, wood-framed buildings tell the story of life
in a coal-mining town.
The
Miners' home is designed to illustrate two separate time periods,
the 1850's and turn of the century. This charming home paints a
picture of mining family life as it was back then, complete with
authentic artifacts and architecture.
The
replica Company Store was based on an actual home in Sydney Mines
which had long been a store of the General Mining Association. On-site
interpreters will be glad to show you the many artifacts of the
mining general store of that period.
The
quaint and beautiful Miners' Village Restaurant, with its early-style
furniture, large brick fireplace, plastered walls and kerosene lamps,
evokes an earlier age. Choose from a wide selection of fresh fish,
local chowders and fruit dishes, served with Cape Breton hospitality!
