St. Paul’s
The life of a fisher family was never easy. Constant battles with the weather, challenges to make ends meet. Three Mudge brothers and their families fished at Broom Point from 1941 to 1975, when they sold the property to the park. The Mudge family cabin and fish store has been restored and is open to the public. Boats built by the Mudges are exhibited in the fish store alongside nets, traps and other home-made gear. The cabin is filled with original artifacts, including handiwork and furniture donated by the family. In a small cove just south of the point there’s a cemetery where some of the earlier residents of Broom Point are buried.
