Description From Owner:
  • The Campbell family were the first settlers in the late 1700s. Rev. Robert Blackwood, the Presbyterian minister at nearby Gays River, named the place after Coldstream in Berwick-shire, Scotland.
  • In 1864 gold was discovered on the farms of Berry Corbett and George Gay. The post office was called Gold Fields and mining on a small scale was carried out until 1880.
  • In 1890 the Coldstream Mining Co, built a stamp mill and soon failed. In 1960 the Nova Scotia Gold Mining Co. attempted to reopen the mine and five years later the Gays River Gold Mine Co. did reopen the mine.
