River John has a long and interesting history. Agriculture and fishing are strong in River John and surrounding area but there was a time when it was home to a booming shipbuilding industry. Read about this fascinating part of River John's past at the Wooden Ships of River John website. We have also created a website about the American Lobster where you can find out about this creature and the fishing industry which is an important aspect of life in River John.
In the Museum you can also read the Pastor's Diary. A collection of daily entries from the pastoral career of Rev. H. B. MacKay. Rev. MacKay was minister of Salem Church and kept a diary of his daily life from January to September 1885.
