Visitor Information

General Information

The Cascapedia River Museum was established to preserve the artifacts, traditions, and stories that form the foundation of the region’s rich salmon fishing heritage. The residents of the Cascapedia Valley have long taken pride in their history and are committed to passing that legacy on to future generations, anglers, and visitors alike.

The museum is the result of the vision, dedication, and hard work of many local residents and visiting fishermen who united community members, anglers, and government agencies in support of this important project.

The museum shares its facilities with the Sipuminu Society, which manages the Cascapedia River. It is housed in two restored historic buildings—the former Campbell Brothers store (later J.A. Campbell & Sons) and the Clapperton Store—both of which played significant roles in the community’s fishing heritage.

For generations, these establishments supplied fishermen, camps, and local residents with everything from fishing licences and equipment to clothing and everyday necessities. Countless individuals connected to the history of the river and the community passed through their doors.

Today, these historic buildings have been carefully restored, and we are proud to welcome visitors and share the unique history, culture, and traditions of the Cascapedia Valley.
