Chester Municipal Heritage Society. www.chesterbound.com/heritage.htm. If you have a chance to visit Nova Scotia, try to get to the village of Chester, an absolutely beautiful community by the sea. The Chester Municipal Heritage Society has mounted an excellent Oak Island exhibit in the old Chester Train Station. Danny Hennigar, Curator, Carol Nauss, Chair, and society members and volunteers are to be commended. The Restall 1704 stone is presently on display there.
The Friends of Oak Island. www.friendsofoakisland.com. This is a group of individuals who are working hard on behalf of Oak Island. They lead tours of the island during some weekends in the summer months and have created a superb exhibit of archival material on the island. And, because of their close relationship with the owners of Oak Island, their website contains the latest news of treasure-hunting activities taking place there. Garnette Blankenship and Charles Barkhouse have done much to keep the memory of the Restalls alive. They, and other Friends’ members and volunteers are doing a great job on behalf of Oak Island and all of its treasure hunters.
Oak Island Treasure. www.oakislandtreasure.co.uk. This is a fantastic website about Oak Island that was started in England years ago by Jo Atherton. She has made available several rare photographs and other fascinating archival material. Her collection is like no other, and you can always count on her forum for lively debate.
