Located at the northern tip of Gros Morne National Park, Cow Head is home of the longest running museum on the west coast of Newfoundland.  Founded as Tete de Vache Museum in 1975, it was relocated to the former home of  Dr. & Mrs. Henry N Payne (honorary) in June of 1999.  The museum exhibits a collection of community artifacts dating back to the early 19^th century and before.
