Small building, huge museum. I meant it - there is a LOT of information and artifacts inside what seems to be a small building. It was designed by a Time Lord! Of course the reason the town is even on the map is Sir Wilfred Grenfell, so a lot of the exhibits are about him, medicine, plus the local culture and history. If you visit this region you must visit this museum.

Wonderful story of a doc from away and the tremendous improvement in health care he brought to this area. He left a lasting legacy that lives on today. Museum is very detailed about the locals and their harsh living conditions during this period. A great humanitarian for sure! Really nice flower garden at the entrance as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Very informative, as a Canadian I knew nothing about this. A lot of reading had to be done, would have been nice to have some audio guides or something to help. The house was very cool to see, all the original artifacts, again audio guide would have supplemented the experience.

Wonderfully detailed exhibit with loads of information that adults interested in local and regional history will enjoy. The gift shop has loads of great local arts and crafts at reasonable prices. We'll worth a visit!

Sir Grenfell almost did more for health care in Labrador and Northern Newfoundland than universal health care. The work he and later his wife did was outstanding over their life and beyond. This is a must see site.

This has been on my bucket list for quite sometime because my mom grew up in this Orphanage. A real eye opener and tear jerker to explore the history. The guides need to be more vocal and involved and less cellphone. The gift shop had many beautiful things and the lady that served me was very friendly and helpful!

Museum with paid admissions but also a Tourist Help Desk, free Wifi, Gift Shop, Washrooms and a Tea Room. Good place to hang out before or after Whale Watching Expedition at the dock just behind the building.
