Information
 
 
Come visit one of the oldest stone building on Cape Breton Island. "The Forge" built in 1793 by Thomas LeNoir' was an important enterprise on Isle Madame. Step back into a time when shipbuilding flourished and local Captains sailed all over the globe. Experience a working forge, and a collection of tools and artifacts that tells some of stories of Isle Madame. 
 
The LeNoir Forge Museum is Part of the the LeNoir Landing site which also houses a genealogy centre; community archives; a boat barn containing displays and information of our seafaring past; a gift shop and other shanties used for exhibits.
