Discover Inverness History
Our Roots Run Deep
The Inverness Miners Museum is situated in the beautiful coastal village of Inverness on Cape Breton Island and showcases the region’s 19th and 20th-century coal-mining history through various mediums. We have relocated to an accessible building at 15932 Central Avenue, with parking available at the rear.
