The museum and historical society was founded to catalogue and support Gaelic culture in the Mabou area. It also functions as keeping records of Mabou’s history. Built in 1875, it served as a general store and lecture hall until the late-1970s, then in the 1980s the building was purchased and used to create a heritage museum. The museum also functions as a cultural center, giving step-dancing, fiddle and piano lessons, holding Gaelic-related events and workshops. “An Drochaid” means “The Bridge” in Gaelic, which is the name Gaelic settlers gave Mabou.

A religious shrine, found in a charming miniature church which was moved from its original location in 1967 by the Brothers of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows. The small white church was repaired and restored and was officially opened as a Shrine in July of 1968, dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows and the brave pioneers of the Mabou area. The Shrine is visited by thousands of travellers who nourish their spirit in the peace and serenity of this beautiful, reflective pause along the way.

The lighthouse at Mabou Harbour, built in 1884 by E.C. Embree of Port Hawkesbury is now a museum. A group of people connected with the Mabou Harbour Authority has leased the lighthouse from the government and on June 28th 1998 officially opened a museum and visitor centre illustrating the history of the site through photographs and artifacts. www.invernessco.com/history_lighthouse.html
