West Mabou Pioneer Cemetery
First Catholic church cemetery estabished 1833. There are approx. 144 graves here, many marked by a stone (rock) without names, set on a cement block base. The cemetery overlooks Mabou Harbour and is almost across the water from the present day Catholic church & cemetery.
Rankinville Pioneer Cemetery
South of Mabou on Rte. 19, take a left onto Rankinville Road to The Old Pioneer Cemetery. It contains the graves of the earliest settlers, including that of Benjamin Worth, a Loyalist from New Jersey who was the town's first settler. The Mother of Sorrows Pioneer Shrine was built in the 1920s as a memorial to the pioneers buried at the cemetery. It's a beautiful small version of the typical Cape Breton church, but the interior is remarkable, the walls and ceiling of natural tongue-and-groove Douglas fir.
