Manuels River Hibernia Interpretation Centre Opens on July 3rd

Manuels River Park is an internationally renowned geological park located in Conception Bay South, near St. John’s, NL. The new Interpretation Centre overlooking the site will be an attraction for residents and tourists alike. The Centre celebrates the geological and natural significance of the Manuels River and valley, acts as a gateway to the natural heritage resources of the Manuels River Linear Park, and serves as an orientation to the tourism opportunities in Newfoundland.

Lord Cultural Resources and Mystus Exhibits were hired to plan, design, fabricate and install the exhibits in the Centre, and to develop an audio guide system and brochure to provide visitors with information as they explore the Park. The Exhibits include a range of dynamic, interactive, educational and aesthetic displays that will impress visitors with the significant resources of Manuels River Park—its geology, landscape, flora and fauna, and use by humans.
