At the point where the North and South Branches of the Miramichi River converge lies the nationally recognized and protected heritage site with a panoramic view. Make your way to the end of the Enclosure Road where you will find a hidden little gem in the form of Wilson’s Point Historic Site. The Earliest English speaking settlers (Scottish) who arrived in 1765 lived, socialized, did business and were buried here. Their history is lovingly preserved by The Scottish Heritage Association Miramichi who have restored the original grave sites including that of founding father William Davidson, the historic walking trails, installed a wharf, trading post and built an interpretive center. Wilson's Point Historic Point not only contains the Scottish Ancestry of the river, but also has great archeological significance and deep rooted connections to the Mi'kmaq peoples, as well as, the French, Acadians and Loyalists who have all helped establish the rich history of this beautiful river region dating well beyond three thousand years.

Great local tourist attraction. At the point where North and South Branches of the Miramichi converge lies a protected historic site with a panoramic view. Make your way to the end of the Enclosure Rd where you will find the best kept secret in the form of Wilson’s Point Historic Site. This site has great significance to the history of Miramichi and where the earliest English speaking settlers first lived, socialized, did business and were buried and it holds the history of Scottish ancestry along the river. The Scottish Heritage Association has been working to preserve the history of this area, and have restored the original grave sites & walking trails, installed a wharf, trading post and built an interpretive center in the form of the St James Church Replica, that was built by Miramichi Timber Frames in the same fashion as the original, that once stood on the grounds from 1791-1838, with only wooden pegs and tongue and groove pine, there isn’t a nail to be found. This beautiful little building was completed in 2005 has perfect acoustics to hold musical events in as well as the annual church service that is held the last Sunday of July.

Connected to Beaubear’s Island you can picture the poor Acadians and their plight when they were left to starve here after having escaped the Deportation of 1755.
