Margarees

About

Take a drive down a backcountry road to discover a beautiful barn full of stunning quilts, hooked rugs, and other fibre art. They are all made on site by the resident artisan and are all for sale. It’s a gallery, quilt show, museum, and shop all rolled into one feast for the eyes. On a hot day you can go for a dip in the famous Margaree River which runs along the property. In the Fall the colours are stunning.

Open by appointment or by chance.
