Blanc-Sablon National Historic Site

National historic site protecting archaeological evidence of 9,000 years on the Quebec-Labrador coast.

This is Blanc-Sablon's deepest reason to stop. The national historic site covers archaeological remains tied to long Indigenous use of the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula, along with later Dorset and European presence on the coast.

The value is not a single monument you can photograph in five minutes. It is the knowledge that this hard-looking shore has been used, crossed, and understood for thousands of years.
