Nova Scotia has a rich history and heritage that can be explored through its museums.
There is no better way to glimpse aspects of the history and heritage of an area than through the artifacts and stories left behind by its people. What people choose to save and celebrate is a measure of its importance.
I love a good museum! And the quirkier it is the better! There is the tiny Argyle Township Court House and Gaol where you can tour the prison and see what it was like to be locked up 200 years ago. The Barrington Woolen Museum offers a fascinating look at the woolen industry. The Shag Harbour UFO Centre commemorates the sighting of a UFO in 1967.
