The Labrador Heritage Society is an incorporated body. It was established in 1976 as a non profit volunteer organization. It presently owns, maintains, and runs three sites in North West River. The Labrador Heritage Museum, the Lester Burry Memorial Park and Sunday Hill Park. It also has two branches, the Height of Land branch in Labrador West and the Big Hill branch in Churchill falls. The mandate of the LHS is to collect, protect, preserve and promote the history and traditional culture of Labrador and its People. We have a membership with regular members and associate members.
