About Prince Alfred Arch and Graeme Ferguson Park

The discovery of gold in Tangier Nova Scotia in 1860 caused great excitement, and even royalty came to observe the activities of the miners. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred landed at Mason’s Cove, Tangier, in October 1861, to visit the gold mines. The Prince Alfred Arch was erected by the Tangier Gold Mines Historical Society to commemorate that visit.
