Fundy Geological Museum

The Fundy Geological Museum is a natural history museum in Parrsboro dedicated to the geological formations of the Bay of Fundy. The displays feature minerals and fossils alongside information about the tides and earth history specific to this region.

The museum opened in 1993 and has grown into a center for geological research and education in the region. An active laboratory on the site continues to study ancient fossils and contribute to scientific understanding.

The museum helps visitors understand how the local geology shaped the region and why people have long collected minerals and fossils here. Walking through the displays, you can see why this area draws so much interest from collectors and curious travelers.

The museum is most accessible during summer months from June through October when daily hours are in effect. Planning ahead to check hours is helpful if you are visiting during other times of the year.

The museum houses skeletons of Plateosaurus, a massive prehistoric creature that walked the earth around 200 million years ago. Scientists actively work on these fossils in the on-site laboratory, making it a place where real discoveries happen.
