History

The Polkinhorn Store was originally located in the village of Woodwards Cove, Grand Manan Island, at what is now 832 Route 776. It was owned and operated by George and Alice Polkinhorn. Sergeant Major George Polkinhorn was a British Army Veteran, who served with distinction in the Canadian military during the Boer War, and later served in the First World War.

The store was located at the front of the building, and the Polkinhorns resided in the rear and upstairs sections. Its precise operational time-frame is unknown, but based on the dates that the Polkinhorns lived on Grand Manan Island, it probably operated between 1907 and 1926. The store carried candy, material, knitting and sewing supplies, and a wide assortment of other items, typical of a general store.

The original building has since been destroyed. The date of its destruction has not been determined.
