New Caledonian Curling Club

The New Caledonian Curling Club is located on the main street running through the Town of Pictou, Nova Scotia. However, the building is more accessible through a west side entrance located on Caladh Street. It is a one storey Classical Revival building, with wood frame construction and a steeply pitched roof. The building is situated on a small parcel of land with the front façade facing Pictou Harbour. Included in the municipal designation is the building and surrounding land.

The historic value of The New Caledonian Curling Club, as recognized in its municipal designation, is because of its age and recognition as the second oldest curling club in Nova Scotia and third oldest in all of Canada.

The New Caledonian Curling Club dates back to 1850. The formation date of the Club makes it the second oldest Curling Club in Nova Scotia. The current location of the club was built in 1910 and has been the club’s home ever since.
