Shedding Light on Our Past

The Clarenville Heritage Society, located in the former CN Railway Station, is a dedicated group of volunteers who work hard in preserving the history of Clarenville and surrounding area.

Formed in 2003, the Society with the support of the community plays an active role in promoting local heritage. Please take some time to explore the site to learn more about our community history and about some of the initiatives undertaken by the society.

~ Fairmont Speeder Project~

The Clarenville Heritage Society is seeking your support to help build a shed for our Fairmont M15 Narrow Gauge Speeder. This rare, belt driven rail car is just about nearing its restoration and once done it will need a home. The Society is raising funds to build a 16' x 24' steel siding shed complete with set track in concrete floor. The speeder will be operational during the summer months. Your donation is greatly appreciated. Contact: Stephen Bonnell (709-466-7489) or info@clarenvilleheritage.ca. Thank-You!

Quips and Quotes:

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging the future but by the past.
