W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum

Step across the threshold and back in time at the W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum. Explore the Sweeney marine heritage through unique exhibits: a simulation of a traditional fishing wharf, complete with fishing, processing and ship repair sheds, wharf decks and even a coastal freighter.

A small but beautiful museum to learn about the history of Sweeney Fisheries. We were here for research, but this is a museum for everyone interested in the fish industry and fishing boats etc.

Reviewed By Currymac - Yarmouth, Canada

A true artists cooperative, on Yarmouth's harbourfront, the Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery boasts an extremely diverse collection of art works from a wide variety if disciplines from painting to photography to jewelry to fabric work. One of the coop members is always on hand to help you. A great place to visit on purpose, because of inclement weather, or if you're just waiting for the ferry. Free high speed WiFi too! Two thumbs up!
