S&L Railway Museum
This grouping of buildings and train cars includes a turn-of-the-century train station that today houses the Sydney & Louisbourg Railway Museum. Exhibits include artifacts, models and photographs, which provide a fascinating glimpse of the railway in its heyday and of Louisbourg’s role as a major coal-shipping terminal and seaport from the late 1800s and early 1900s through to the 1950s.

A Race Through Time
A featured race in the Run Nova Scotia series, the Race Through Time is a fun and unusual 8-mile run held in mid-August. It proceeds from present-day Louisbourg to the national park along the shore of the harbour, past Black Rock, the site of the 18th-century gallows, then through the streets of the Fortress and out through its gates, looping back to modern-day Louisbourg.
