Hyndman House, Fort Amherst, Rocky Point

While at Rocky Point we walked around the farmhouse adjacent to the Port-la-Joye /Fort Amherst interpretive center.  The Hyndman house has had alot of recent repairs complete with a new roof. 
 
The following is from the Parks Canada Website: 
     ...A variety of landowners farmed the land until 1959, when owner John Hyndman sold the land for its creation as a national historic park. The site was officially opened in 1973. cf.http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/pe/amherst/natcul/natcul4.aspx
