Perkins House Museum The Google rating is 4.8

Perkins House, built in 1766, offers a glimpse of life in Liverpool as it was lived in Simeon Perkins’ day, when the harbour teemed with schooners, sailors, and privateers. In its time, Simeon Perkins’ property—now Perkins House Museum—was a bustling centre of international shipping and trade.

Step inside the grand old house and explore the grounds of this colonial treasure. Discover the intrigue of Nova Scotian privateers, whom some considered protectors but others called pirates. Learn about the important role Perkins played in the local economy and in protecting the settlers during the American Revolution and later wars.  

Perhaps best known for the detailed diary he kept, Simeon Perkins provided a faithful record of his life and times.  His diary provides vivid detail about what life was like in Liverpool from 1766 to 1812. Today, the information recorded in Perkins’ diary finds new life through the exhibits and interpretation of Perkins House Museum, part of the Nova Scotia Museum Family.
