Grace Arts Centre & Ice House Gallery
Open year-round
The Creamery Square Heritage Centre, located in Tatamagouche, combines several community museums, exhibits, collections and archives for the Northumberland Shore region.
This unique heritage complex features a Creamery exhibit describing the production of our famous Tatamagouche butter; displays on our local history and lifestyle of the 19th and 20th centuries; the Brule Fossil Collection featuring 290-million-year-old fossil trackways; and the Anna Swan Display, which tells the story of the local giantess. The North Shore Archives provides an extensive collection of maps and documents, as well as genealogical records of local families; census, obituaries and cemetery records; pictures and photographs, and local history on people, places and events.
Other features include a new Acadian/Mi’kmaq exhibit, a gift shop, picnic area and beautiful views of the Waugh River. Also on site, a Farmers’ Market on Saturdays (9-1) and an Arts Centre with art exhibitions and musical/dramatic performances in the theatre.
