Marconi National Historic Site

Loved our stop here. The ocean view is spectacular!The old antenna base is still there.Inside there is historic timeline of the trans Atlantic communication. Worth the stop if you like historical points.

This is a really neat historical location.The displays were overall well done and easy to read. The location itself is a bit small and some displays need maintenance but it was j retesting non the less.The staff were helpful with regards to questions about the local area.The outside of the building has some good scenary and is worth a quick walk!Parking is sufficient for the traffic flow to the area.

Fascinating piece of history! Great site to visit and explore. Only thing we were disappointed with was the state of the washroom. Didn't seem very clean. Paper towel dispenser not working, toilet not clean.

This is a great site of telecommunication history. You can still see the square tower bases.

Museum was closed today for no apparent reason. Nothing else to see at this location other than a couple of information signs. Save yourself some time and skip this.

The museum will open on Canada Day (July 1st). No interior pictures. The location provides a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and off in the distance is Scatari Island. On the waters edge some steep and rugged cliffs add to the natural beauty. Watch as the small fishing vessels enter Glace Bay Harbour.

It's a neat piece of history, however the center does not open until July 1. You can still look over the bluffs and they do have some placards explaining the history.

For a place of such significance - not just to Canada but the world - this is a remarkably hidden little place to try and find. It's one small building and a bit of an outdoor walk but absolutely loaded with information and historical value in Three languages! French, English and Italian. I flipped through the guest book and can honestly say that from all over the world people have come to this location. And - Families - it's FREE. From there we went a few blocks over and down on the roads so we could go down the concrete steps to a bit of rocky beach where everyone is busy searching for beach glass. One of the locals said, can't find it like we used to" which makes every tiny piece a fun treasure to pounce on."

Google maps says it should be open but the inside is closed. 6/15/23

Do not go! It's boarded up and even the outside signs explaining a stone outside are gone. Can the Nova Scotia Government please update this site and say it's CLOSED!? No hours needed.
