Bill’s Beatles Collection in Grand Manan, New Brunswick
On the quiet shores of Seal Cove, Grand Manan, you’ll find an unexpected shrine to the Fab Four. After seeing the Beatles perform in Montreal in 1964, local collector Bill Dickinson was hooked for life. Over six decades he amassed a staggering trove of Beatles memorabilia. It has everything from rare vinyl and vintage merchandise to modern oddities like Yellow Submarine Crocs.
“You call it a museum, but I’m just sharing my passion with the world,” Bill says with a grin.
Visitors can wander through this kaleidoscopic time capsule of Beatlemania, tucked away on a remote island better known for herring smokehouses and rugged cliffs. Just keep driving past historic Seal Cove until you spot the giant mural of John, Paul, George, and Ringo striding across the road. That is your cue that you’ve arrived at Bill’s Beatles Collection.
