Explore the remarkable legacy of Sir Wilfred Grenfell — the English physician who transformed the entire Labrador and Northern Peninsula coast — through his beautifully preserved home, hospital, and the extraordinary Jordi Bonet murals. A deeply moving, world-class heritage experience.
What to expect
Begin at the Grenfell Interpretation Centre to understand the medical mission that defined northern Newfoundland for a century. Step inside Grenfell House — a National Historic Site — furnished exactly as it was when the doctor lived and worked here. The highlight for many is the stunning triptych of ceramic tile murals by Jordi Bonet in the International Grenfell Association building, depicting the history of the Labrador coast in extraordinary detail. Guided tours run regularly and are intimate in size, allowing genuine conversation with knowledgeable staff.
Good to know
The properties are a short, flat walk from the cruise pier through the heart of St. Anthony. Allow 2–2.5 hours to do all three sites justice. Open late spring through early autumn; guided tours run on a schedule — check current times on the website and arrive early to secure a spot. Combination tickets offer the best value and coverage.
