Sisters’ Dream School Museum, Mainland
The Sisters’ Dream School Museum offers visitors a glimpse of life from the early 1900s with a unique perspective of the Francophone roots of Mainland (La Grande Terre). Fishermen from France traveled across the waters from Red Island and built the one-room schoolhouse in 1910. The school also contained a small altar which served the spiritual needs of the community by travelling priests. Upon construction of a new school, the building was transformed into a Chapel in 1972. When a new chapel was constructed, this historic building was slated for demise. Thanks to a dream of two sisters, Johanna Cornect and Maggie Benoit, and the dedication of their families, a committee was formed to transform the school room into a museum to preserve the area’s culture and heritage.

In the 1960s, Harmon Seaside Links was built as a 9-hole course for US servicemen stationed at the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base. A 9-hole addition built by Graham Cooke has been added to the course, making it a unique 18-hole golf experience on the island.

Harmon’s beach breeze lends a pleasant atmosphere to the course while also demanding a player to pay attention to the prevailing winds on a course that combines a full links experience with somewhat treed holes.

Golfers will appreciate the finer elements on this course, which boasts a panoramic view of the hills around the Stephenville area.
