We stopped and toured Barbour Village At Newtown

It is a living heritage village and we took a tour of it. It was a mercantile premises and is still visited by the family.
The father built his son's a double house. Each side was identical and connected.


But he built it so that if they ever fought a dividing wall could be put up between the 2 halves.
The story of Capt. Job Barbour is told. He spent 48 days at sea in a storm trying to go from St. John's to Newtown and ended up in Tobermory, Scotland.

That house is really interesting. I guess they never had a falling out.
