The Experience Fogo Site allows visitors to view collections of old tools and see how residents grew their vegetables, raised their livestock, mended their nets, and dried their fish.
The site includes some elements – a carpenter’s shop, stable, traditional garden, stage and flakes – which would have been familiar in outport Newfoundland around a century ago.
The site describes how European fishermen settled the community of Fogo in the 1720s. Over the next 300 years, the fishing industry continued to be a thriving aspect of the community.
