On the way to…
A short way off the Trans-Canada in Grand Falls-Windsor, roughly along the way on this drive. It tells the story of the Beothuk and of central Newfoundland's interior — a sensible place to break up the long highway stretch before the road turns north for Green Bay.
Stopping here adds about 3 min and 1.1 km to that drive (2h 42m door to door).
In the centre of town, close enough to the highway to barely count as a detour, this museum tells the story of the Beothuk and of the Exploits Valley's more recent settlement. Between this and the logging museum above, Grand Falls-Windsor covers two very different pieces of the region's history.
Stopping here adds about 2 min and 1.4 km to that drive (2h 45m door to door).
In Grand Falls-Windsor, close to where this drive is roughly at its midpoint, telling the history of the Beothuk and of central Newfoundland's interior. It's an easy pull-off the Trans-Canada and a sensible break on a long westbound run before the turn north.
Stopping here adds about 3 min and 1.1 km to that drive (2h 59m door to door).

Roughly the midpoint of this drive, a few hundred metres off the Trans-Canada in Grand Falls-Windsor. It tells the story of the Beothuk and of central Newfoundland's interior — the natural half-day break on a long cross-island run. It keeps a season rather than year-round hours, so the dates are the operator's to state, not this page's.
Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.6 km to that drive (3h 33m door to door).
