Discover 400 years of history at the Colony of Avalon, one of North America’s best-preserved early English colonial sites. More than a museum, this internationally recognized archaeological site lets visitors become archaeologists for a day through guided tours and hands-on excavations. This summer, researchers are excavating a newly discovered Beothuk site while continuing investigations connected to Newfoundland and Labrador’s first-ever wampum bead discovery. Named a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award winner and ranked among the top 10% of attractions worldwide, the Colony of Avalon offers an unforgettable opportunity to experience history as it’s being uncovered.
