What is an Ecomuseum?
An Ecomuseum is a “museum without walls”. In other words, nature and culture are explained at the places
where things happen or have happened and in their entirety with the focus on the symbiotic relationship between people and
nature. This is radically different to the traditional museums that are primarily collectors of objects, or the open-air museums
that are collections of houses moved from their original place to a museum.

The core of the ecomuseum are the eleven inaugural, independent, cultural heritage, and nature sites along the fifty-five
kilometre stretch of the Miramichi River. They are linked via a water taxi system and trail network.

The sites are: Beaubear’s Island, Vye’s Beach, Strawberry Marsh, Ritchie Wharf, Canadian Point, French Fort Cove, Morrison Cove, Waterford Green, Historic Water Street, Middle Island, and St. Andrew’s Point.
You will see a “face-lift” at these sites: enhanced hiking/walking trails; improved marine access; construction
of new public spaces and entertainment facilities; and the expansion of the interpretive offerings i.e. interactive displays,
geocashing, theatre productions, genealogy.
