Oak Island
The Oak Island mystery began in 1795 when three boys discovered unmistakable proof that someone had buried something deep in the ground. The “Money Pit” is drenched in legends and lore that suggest the treasure is buried at the bottom of the pit. Oak Island is the scene of the world’s longest running treasure hunt and the source of speculation as to who buried what and where. Theories include Captain Kidd’s treasure, pirates and even connections to the Holy Grail.
- Oak Island is open to the public during 'Explore Oak Island Days,' which includes displays, presentations, and a guided tour; wear your own pirate costume. Surprises await you! For more information, please visit www.oakislandsociety.ca
