You’d be a great storyteller too,
if you had thousands of years of practice.
Out here, you’ll find history around every corner. In fact, there isn’t a rock,
cliff, or cave without a story attached. Take the Vikings, for example, our first
European settlers. They landed at L’Anse aux Meadows a thousand years ago.
And then there’s John Cabot. He dropped anchor in Bonavista back in 1497
and declared it the New World.
Tales of our past visitors are all around, and some of the best places
to discover them are the 9 national historic sites, 13 provincial historic sites,
4 UNESCO world heritage sites, and 150 community museums you’ll find
here. Chances are, you’ll uncover a few stories of your own along the way.
