Meet David Boyd, owner, fisherman, museum collector, and author of inspirational poetry! From the first moment we were entertained with true Newfoundland fishing stories, a cleaning of a cod, an amazing underwater viewing of the numerous fish under the dock, and a walk along his wharf that is full of camera opportunities! Sorry to say goodbye, but do pick up a copy of his poetry, Outport Home, in their packed full of wonderful moments of Newfoundland....including the Ugly Stick!

Built in 1910 as the Training Barracks and Armoury for a prestigious paramilitary organization in Durrell known as the Arm Lads Brigade. The museum is perched on the top of a hill overlooking the picturesque town of Durrell. It provides a panoramic view overlooking the ocean and a photographer's paradise viewing and photographing majestic icebergs as they pass through Iceberg Alley. The museum houses Officers and Lads ALB uniforms, rifles (surplus from the Boer War, and the First and Second World Wars), brass band instruments and community artifacts depicting the way of life of a typical outport fishing settlement from the late 1800's and the early 1900's. Also featured is a mounted Polar Bear exhibit and recently added Great Auk exhibit. Locally hand made crafts, quilts and knitted items for sale in renovated gift shop. Free Wi-Fi. Durrell Museum and Crafts is fast becoming a major tourist attraction and choice destination for the many tourists and visitors to the Twillingate area.

We especially liked this museum for all the history about the RCMP, the Great Auks, the fishing villages and the polar bear that came into town!
