Our mission is to preserve, present and promote the built and cultural heritage of Greenspond, NL and area.
Greenspond, NL
The community of Greenspond is located on the northeast coast of the island of Newfoundland on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Beothuk and Mi’kmaq. European settlement in the 1690s makes Greenspond one of the oldest continuously inhabited outports on the island. Many of the community’s first settlers came from the counties of Devon and Dorset in England’s West Country and southern Ireland.
