A 100 year old family home of the Jenniex Family that was built in Neddies Harbour 1926 by Augustus Major. The house was moved from Neddies Harbour to Main Street on the ice by horses and manpower. There were 14 children raised in the house (9 of which were born in the house). The Jenniex family donated the house to the Town of Norris Point in 1996 and it was returned to the orginal state and opened as a Museum and Craft Shop in 1998 run by the Norris Point Heritage volunteer Committee. We offer the most fabulous view of Bonne Bay and fully support local handmade crafts. We survive each Summer season by generous donations and sales of our local crafts. We welcome you to come check us out!
