Hopedale Museum

The Hopedale Museum began in 1970 and is located in the Moravian Mission House in Hopedale, Labrador. The Mission House was the building in which the minister and his family lived in which was adjacent to the Moravian Church. The Museum began with three rooms and has since grown to thirteen. The Museum’s collection consists of archaeology artifacts, which date back 1500 to 2000 years, and others relating to today’s Labrador Inuit as well as European medical supplies, furniture and utensils. The mission is the oldest wooden structure east of Quebec. Other structures include a church, storehouse, and small wooden huts in which the First Nations peoples of the area lived in.
