Shano / Le Shane Registered Heritage Structure
The home was constructed of wood in 1860 in the plain style that is typical of fishermen's homes on the coast. It exists today in its original form, style and location. The house is a square, two-story traditional biscuit-box constructed of wood with a steep gable roof. Behind the house is a root cellar, a well house, and a long rectangular shed with two entrances to two separate rooms.

Boardwalk behind the Museum
A 2 kilometre boardwalk is located behind the Flambro Head Museum. The trail is a loop configuration that meanders to a pond where trouting is popular. The pitcher plant and other types of native plants can be seen along the way. Several rest stops and look-outs are constructed along the boardwalk. On a clear day from a hilltop look-out you can see Carbonear Island in one direction and Baccalieu Island in the opposite direction. Bird watching and berry picking are several other past-times to enjoy. Wheelchair accessible, ample nearby parking is available.
