The Inverness Miner's
Museum, located on Lower
Railway Street overlooking
the Cabot Links Golf course
and the pounding surf of the
mighty Atlantic, is proud to

Museum in this Community
| Memories virtual exhibit. It

peruse part of our collection
of photography, interviews

Ned MacDonald’s publication,
The Broken Ground.
The Canadian national
Railway and the Inverness
Coal Mines were distinct and
| separate entities, and their
central focus was the
movement of coal for domestic
consumption as well as
international use. King Coal
was the lifeblood of the
community, even with its
harshness, exploitative
business practices, and
“Pluck Me” stores. The CN
| Station is the locale where
men and women left for out
west, for the “Boston States”
for work and to war. It is in
this station that is alive
with history of the community
where the Inverness Miners
and Railway Museum is
located. We welcome our
visitors to experience ghost
