Known worldwide as an Irish Historical site,
the haunting history of Middle Island is masked by its natural beauty. When Irish settlers sailed down the mighty Miramichi
River in the mid-1800s, they were greeted by a quaint island which would serve as a quarantine area for ill travelers where
their long journey would meet an unfortunate end.

In recent years, Middle Island has seen a transformation into a naturally beautiful recreation
park. The history and significance of this island has not been forgotten, and is honoured in an interpretive center constructed
by the Middle Island Irish Historical Park Commission. Additionally, a replication of the historic lighthouse that ushered
in a wave of immigrants has been built to remind visitors of a time since passed.
