Dr. Henry N. Payne Community Museum

Gros Morne National Park


Located in Cow Head, at the very northern edge of the park, this historical building is really more of a collection of cool stuff: an axe murderer's axe, old photos, fishing gear, a 700-year-old walrus skull. Mainly, this is a place to stop by and listen to old timers tell tales of days past. Call ahead to see if they're open.
