We are happy to announce that the Cupids Cove Plantation will be opening for the 2020 season on July 4.
In August 1610, Bristol merchant John Guy arrived at Cupers Cove (now Cupids) in Conception Bay, Newfoundland with a small group of settlers. By 1613, they had built at least sixteen structures, including a fort, a sawmill, gristmill and a brew house.
Every summer, archaeologists working the dig site at Cupids Cove Plantation reveal more and more about the lives of Canada’s first English settlers.
