The Barachois Historical Church is considered a museum-church, the building itself being the main artifact. Objects are distributed throughout the building, on the walls and in display cases. The rood screen, on the second floor, features a collection of liturgical garments, objects of worship and an aboiteau. A section of the rood screen displays personal objects belonging to Monsignor Camille-André LeBlanc, a native of Barachois and Bishop of Bathurst.
Not to be missed during your visit: the model of the site (by Joe Bourque), the pews in the nave, the collection of crochet cushions, the high altar, the staircases and, outside, the original shingles and nails on the south façade.
