Background

The Historic Sites Association was formed in 1981, under the direction of a volunteer board of community leaders. Working in partnership with Parks Canada, the HSA encourages full public enjoyment of Newfoundland culture as presented at the national historic sites.

The HSA supports its work through the proceeds from twelve Heritage Shops. Eight are located in National Historic Sites and four other locations across the province. Since 1981, the HSA has invested over $5.7 million in heritage projects.

To fulfill its mandate, the Association is involved in many ongoing activities, and undertakes special events from time to time.
