Fundy Trail Parkway Interpretive Center
The Interpretive Centre, located approximately 10 km into the park, is a great place to learn about the history of the settlement at Big Salmon River. In the late 1800s and well into the mid-1950s, Big Salmon River was a flourishing logging, fishing, and shipbuilding community.
The Interpretive Centre houses many displays of original artifacts and old photographs from the era when the paternalistic Pejepscot Paper Company provided housing, a schoolhouse, a community centre, and even electricity for the settlement at Big Salmon River. The Centre's building is a re-creation of the bunkhouse which once housed the single men who worked and lived here.
Staff members are on hand to answer your questions about the Fundy Trail Heritage Sawmill & Interpretation. Washrooms, snacks, and souvenirs are also available here.
