Rita Love Memorial Kitchen
This is a special feature for the Barbour Living Heritage Village (opened in 2014). The Rita Love Memorial Kitchen is housed within the Olde Shoppe Restaurant and provides a separate kitchen where you learn the tricks of the trade in making pastry.
The History
Rita Love was born and raised in this area. In her late teens she moved to Boston to ‘go into service’. This was typical for many young men and women in the early days as moving away presented the best, and sometimes only, way to find meaningful work. Rita did not return to Newfoundland but always remembered her childhood home. She left a Trust Fund to the people of the Cape Freels area.
In her memory, the Cape Freels Heritage Trust created the viewing kitchen at the Village as a place where people could watch and learn the art of baking – our way.
