Overview

The park is dedicated to Graeme Kent Ferguson, a founding member of the Tangier Gold Mine Historical Society. It features picnic facilities and views of the offshore islands where early European settlers lived before moving to the mainland. Visitors often see many kinds of birds and kayakers in the surrounding waters.

Tangier was the site of the first commercial gold mining operation in Nova Scotia.

The Prince Alfred Arch was installed by the Tangier Gold Mine Historical Society to commemorate visits to the mines by Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Victoria, and Prince Napoléon of France.

Tangier is also a gateway to the 100 Wild Islands which can be seen from the Park, and the opportunity for a wilderness experience. Settlers in this area inhabited these islands for many years before moving to the mainland.
