On our road trip to Cape Breton Island we stopped into the Nova Scotia Welcome Centre to take a break. Was pleasantly surprised by the well kept grounds. We took advantage of photo opportunities at the Welcome to Nova Scotia sign and lighthouse. The Welcome Centre was indeed welcoming because the staff was very happy to provide us with directions to Sydney NS plus a map. The gift shop had a wide selection of souvenirs and they were very well-priced and we ended buying some Nova Scotia pins to add to my collection. Last but not least, the washroom facilities were very clean (a bonus for anyone on a road trip).

The Macphee House Visitor Information Center offers guests information on local attractions such as Museums, Beaches, Parks and local events. The Visitor Information Center also offers information on local businesses and provides visitors with the most up to date information. The Macphee House Community Museum is a volunteer organization that provides local history and a peek into our past with lots of original artifacts of places such as the West River; which was home to the first Sulphide Pulp Mill in Canada before it was taken out by Hurricane Beth in 1971. The Museum is also home to a wide variety of artifacts from in and around the Sheet Harbour Area.

The visitor centre was excellent with very informative and helpful staff. The boardwalk to the Falls provided a pleasant walk with lovely views. The museum itself was a little jumbled and difficult to appreciate. There is no charge to enter the museum, but a donation is appreciated.

We've been driving to Newfoundland from PA for many years and always stop here. The first time we stopped here was when we toured Cape Breton Island and yes, I'll admit it began as a pit stop. Very nice clean restrooms are welcome after a long drive. We gathered our info and had a quick picnic at the tables provided. There is a recycling station that also came in handy. The view was awesome--the causeway and bridge were clearly visible. There is also a totem pole which I photographed. Don't miss the lighthouse on a hill with a cemetery surrounding it. We stop every year to picnic and have a chat with these friendly people.
