Brett House Museum

The Brett House Museum on Brown's Point Road in Joe Batt's Arm, Fogo Island, is a community museum housed in a historic structure originally built in the early 1870s by John Brett. The house was extended by Charles Brett between 1909 and 1913, with carved scalloped wooden shingles on the exterior, and was last occupied by Charlie Brett until his death in 1997. The building, its outbuildings, and contents — including a tin ceiling reportedly brought back from England — were left to the town and designated as Registered Heritage Structures in 2003 by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
