Thinkers' Lodge
Cumberland County, Canada · built 1815
Thinkers' Lodge National Historic Site is a historic coastal house and retreat property in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, on a point overlooking the Northumberland Strait. It is best known as the site of the first Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs in July 1957, hosted by businessman and philanthropist Cyrus Eaton. The meeting brought together scientists from both sides of the Cold War divide to discuss nuclear weapons and the social responsibilities of science in global affairs, and it helped launch the international Pugwash movement.
