Quaco Museum
The legacy of sea captains and shipbuilders endures in the architecture of historic homes and in the Quaco Museum where the Village’s rich history is brought to life. Opened in 1978, the Quaco Museum and Library has a collection of artifacts and books that help tell the history of St. Martins and the Quaco area. This is a charitable organization so it is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.

St. Martins History Walk
Take a walk through our local history that starts at the top of Main Street where, in 1803, the first shipbuilders cut a massive tree for use in the construction of the first sailing vessel built in St. Martins. As you continue down Main Street towards the harbour, there are many homes and buildings with rich history. Use THIS for your self-guided walking tour.
