Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre

From 1883 to 1976, the Neilson Store provided Amherst Islanders with their basic necessities. After it closed in 1976, there were many changes in ownership until the building, newly renovated dock and grounds were sold to Loyalist Township to become the Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre. Come and learn more about the history of the store — and Amherst Island.
