Located in scenic Mount Pearl, NL , Admiralty House and Communications Museum was originally constructed in 1914 by the Marconi Telegraph Co. during World War I as the top secret H.M. Wireless Station for the British Royal Navy.
Admiralty House shares the history of HM Wireless Station, the once top-secret First World War naval communications base that the museum is housed in, and its connection to First World War communications, the SS Florizel disaster, and Mount Pearl.
The museum offers exhibits, programs, and events regularly through the year. If you have a community or youth group who would like to book a tour or activity, please contact our office.
Our board room is available for rent for small gatherings and functions while our spacious and beautiful back garden can be rented for weddings. For more information on rentals please visit: admiraltymuseum.ca/rentals.html
