Description & History
This village on the Shubenacadie River was once a major shipbuilding and timber community as well as home to gypsum quarries. It became an important stop on the Midland Line with substancial station, water tower and most notably, the large swing bridge over the Shubenacadie River.

The centre includes a caboose with retro DAR lettering and a hiking trail that leads to a lookoff on one of the piers of the DAR's old South Maitland Bridge.
