In some places Grafton Lake can be glimpsed through the trees. A short boardwalk lets you cross the wetland where bog plants grow and small birds forage.

- Description: French follows below | Le français suit ci dessous
Grand-Pré is a powerful monument that unites the Acadian people. Visitors to the site will uncover the tale of Le Grand Dérangement: a tragic event in Acadian history that has shaped the vibrant culture of modern-day Acadians across the globe through its quiet but powerful renaissance. The site commemorates the Grand Pré area as a centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755 and the Deportation of the Acadians, which began in 1755 and continued until 1762. For many Acadians throughout the world, the site remains the heart of their ancestral homeland and the symbol of the ties that unite them.
Embark on a fascinating journey with a guided tour! Your exploration begins in the hull of a Deportation ship, for a state-of-the-art cinematic introduction. In July and August (twice daily), interpreters will guide you through the history and significance of this national historic site. You’ll explore serene duck ponds bordered by majestic weeping willows, the legendary statue of Evangeline (heroine of the Longfellow poem) and the Memorial Church. End the day by taking the path up the hill to the Landscape of Grand Pré View Park. You’ll understand how this area got its name, Grand Pré, meaning great meadow, and why it became Canada’s 16th World Heritage Site inscribed by UNESCO in 2012.
Grand-Pré est un symbole puissant qui réunit le peuple acadien. Les visiteurs découvriront l’histoire du Grand Dérangement, un événement tragique dans l’histoire de l’Acadie qui a façonné la culture vibrante des Acadiens d’aujourd’hui à travers le monde, grâce à une renaissance discrète mais puissante. Le site commémore la région de Grand Pré en tant qu’établissement important pour les acadiens de 1682 à 1755 et de la Déportation des Acadiens, qui a commencé en 1755 et s’est poursuivie jusqu’en 1762. Pour de nombreux Acadiens à travers le monde, le site représente le noyau de leur terre ancestrale et le symbole des liens qui les unissent.
Laissez-vous bercer par une visite guidée qui vous fera découvrir ce lieu captivant ! Votre exploration commence dans la coque d’un navire de la Déportation, pour une présentation cinématographique de haut de gamme. En juillet et en août (deux fois par jour), des interprètes vous guideront à travers l’histoire et l’importance de ce lieu historique national. Vous découvrirez de paisibles étangs à canards bordés de majestueux saules Français, la légendaire statue d’Évangéline (héroïne du poème de Longfellow) et l’église-souvenir. Terminez la journée en empruntant le sentier qui monte jusqu’au parc d’observation du Paysage de Grand Pré. Vous comprendrez comment cette région a reçu son nom, Grand Pré, qui signifie grande prairie, et pourquoi elle est devenue le 16e site au Canada à être inscrit dans la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 2012.

A fascinating tale, it interprets the life of the man, and the preacher, allowing each visitor to know the history and experience one of the most remarkable migrations in history.
Eight interactive displays bring to life the traditions of the settlers from the Highlands of Scotland, as they’ve evolved into a Cape Breton way of life over these last 200+ years.
Admission: Adults: $10, Youth: (12 and under) $8, Family: (2 adults, 2 children) $25

- Description: Although this trail is very short, a mere “leg stretcher”, it is quite fascinating. From this rocky granite headland jutting out into the sea, you can watch the ocean crash against the rocks or catch a glimpse of whales offshore as fishermen tend to their lobster traps, daring to come so close to the rocks. Notice the twisted stunted trees – known as “krummholz” – and the leathery leaves of the bayberry. Plants here have adapted to this windy, salt-sprayed coastal environment.
Caution: Keep away from rock edges during high wind and waves and always use caution around dark rocks.

Park is open year-round but full visitor services are only available from mid-May until mid-October. A park pass is required all year for hiking or use of other services in the park. Check in at the Parks Canada Visitor Centres in Chéticamp (16 Visitor Centre Road, just off the Cabot Trail on the west side of the park) or in Ingonish (37637 Cabot Trail, on the east side of the park) to obtain passes, information on visitor safety and any other information you may need, including a trail location map.
For your comfort and safety:
Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals.
Take along appropriate clothing – rapid weather changes often occur on the plateau or along the coast.
Carry water with you, especially for longer trails, climbs or open barrens.
Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer.
Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for public safety and protection of the environment.
Stay on designated trails and boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation.
Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads.
Read “Keep it Wild, Keep it Safe” brochure, available at park visitor centres and on the Parks Canada website.
Recreational drone use is prohibited within the national park for the safety of wildlife and other visitors.

- Description: The Greenwood Military Aviation Museum (GMAM) is located at the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 14 Wing in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. As a proud member of the Annapolis Valley community, the museum strives to inspire visitors through a riveting and somewhat immersive collection of aviation-related historical artifacts and displays. The museum is one of eleven accredited Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) museums located across the country and one of only two RCAF accredited museums in Nova Scotia.
Our museum specifically aims to research, collect, preserve and educate visitors, teachers, students and veterans on the history and roles at home and aboard, of the Wing and each of our Squadrons. The museum receives many accolades and awards for the stories about the people, families, community and equipment that formed the fabric of our Wing history along with the stories of adversity and perseverance that make the museum more engaging and an extra special place to visit. In particular, the museum was recognized by the Canadian Aeronautical Preservation Association in 2010 and prior to that by as a provincial indoor site winner by Attractions Canada in 2001.
The museum is located outside of the security zone and open to public visitors. As you enter the parking area, you will already be surrounded by rich Royal Canadian Air Force History. There are a number of outdoor display aircraft in the Air Park and in the summer, you can smell the beautiful roses that wrap around the Memorial Gardens overlooking the outdoor displays in the park. Our Air Park is home to many historically significant aircraft from WWII, the Cold War era, Search and Rescue and more.
Once in the museum you will be greeted by friendly staff that are available to answer your questions or to get you on your way for a self-guided (free) tour. The self-guided tour includes historical artifacts and interesting displays designed to inspire, educate and preserve the stories of the past and present, primarily related to 14 Wing and its Squadrons over the years. Please visit the GMAM website to appreciate exactly what displays and aircraft are available for viewing.
In addition, our dedicated team of volunteers from a plethora of backgrounds are often available to talk to or show you what interesting projects and restorations they are working on. It is truly a special treat to get an opportunity to see them hard at work restoring vintage planes and other artifacts. Stop by the museum often to talk with the front desk staff to see if and when these opportunities will be available.
Periodically, you will have access to some very special WWII aircraft displays located in the museums annex. Ask our staff for dates and times for viewing.
Also in the museum, you will find a full gift shop for that aspiring aviator or history aficionado. Check back often to see what else is new in the gift shop or on display at the museum.

- Description: The Guysborough Old Court House Museum, located in the historic shiretown of Guysborough at the head of beautiful Chedabucto Bay, is housed in the former Guysborough District Court House and maintained by the Guysborough Historical Society.
The Guysborough District Court House was constructed in 1842-43 in the British Bulldog architecture style. It is one of the few surviving examples of 19th century court houses in the province. The building’s design and location were selected to reinforce its importance as a centre for justice. Visitors are able to observe some of the building’s unique features, including a projecting enclosed porch with a gable roof as well as a series of beautiful tracery windows.
During the building’s 171-year history, it served not only as a court house, but also as a town hall, a venue for political debates, a polling station, an enlistment centre for both World Wars, and even as an agricultural fair exhibition centre. Numerous artifacts representative of the building’s diverse past are on display throughout the museum. Many of these artifacts were kindly donated or loaned to the museum by residents of the Guysborough area.
Highlights of the museum include dioramas of the 17th century French forts on nearby Fort Point, as well as a fascinating collection of historical photographs and maps of the Guysborough area. The Museum also has an assortment of tools and handcrafts collected from the Acadian and Black settlements in the area. Together, these items tell the story of Guysborough County’s remarkable marine, agricultural and lumbering history.

The Citadel’s Role in Halifax’s History
It’s not an exaggeration to say Halifax, a city on the sea, owes its existence to the Citadel. It was the large hill overlooking the easily defended harbour below that led the British military to found the town there in 1749. Among the first buildings constructed was a wooden guardhouse on top of what would eventually be called Citadel Hill, with Halifax’s first settlers building their homes at the base of the hill, closer to the water. Over the years, as the fort grew, so too did the town, with much of Halifax dedicated to supplying the soldiers with both essential supplies and off-duty entertainment.
Citadel Hill Today
Today, the Halifax Citadel continues to watch over the city’s downtown core, although now its role is as a reminder of Halifax’s past and not as a military fortification. The present Citadel, completed in 1856, is officially called Fort George, named after Britain’s King George II, and is actually the fourth in a series of forts to sit atop Citadel Hill. Its distinctive star shape is typical of many 19th century forts built by the British military and gave the garrison sweeping arcs of fire. From its deep defensive ditch, soldiers pointed muskets from every angle of its stout walls and large cannons lined its ramparts. It’s easy to see why no enemy force ever dared to attack the Halifax Citadel.
Halifax Citadel Living History
The Halifax Citadel is anything but a simple museum. Every day, the Citadel comes to life with the sounds and colour of its military interpreters, the 78th Highlanders and the Royal Artillery. Dressed in the same uniforms that their respective regiments wore in the mid-1800s, the 78th Highlanders guard the Citadel’s entrance and conduct marching and band drills on the parade grounds.
Things to do Around the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site gives visitors the opportunity to explore the history of the fortress and the soldiers who were stationed there, walk within its walls – both inside and out – and literally touch a piece of Halifax’s military history.
Tour the Army Museum Halifax Citadel, which tells the powerful and compelling stories of Nova Scotian soldiers. From the munitions to the medals to the service and sacrifice, no detail is spared.
Sentry Change
Every hour the Citadel is open, watch the sentry guarding the front gate be changed.
Noon Gun
A local tradition since 1857 and one of the oldest in the world, the gun is fired daily by the 3rd Brigade Royal Artillery to announce the noon hour and can be heard across the city.

Le rôle de la citadelle dans l’histoire d’Halifax
Il n’est pas exagéré de dire que Halifax, ville maritime, doit son existence à la citadelle. C’est la grande colline surplombant un port facilement défendable qui a incité les militaires britanniques à y fonder la ville en 1749. Parmi les premiers bâtiments construits, on trouve un poste de garde en bois situé au sommet de ce que l’on appellera plus tard la colline de la citadelle; les premiers habitants de Halifax ont construit leurs maisons au pied de la colline, près de l’eau. Au fil des ans, le fort s’est développé, tout comme la ville dont une grande partie des activités était consacrée à approvisionner les soldats en fournitures essentielles et à les divertir dans leurs temps libres.
La colline de la citadelle aujourd’hui
La citadelle d’Halifax veille toujours sur le centre ville, mais son rôle est passé de fortification militaire à lieu historique. La citadelle actuelle, achevée en 1856, porte officiellement le nom de Fort George, en l’honneur du roi George II de Grande-Bretagne. Il s’agit en fait du quatrième fort à occuper le sommet de la colline. Sa forme d’étoile distinctive, typique de nombreux forts du XIXe siècle construits par l’armée britannique, permettait à la garnison d’avoir de grands arcs de tir. Depuis le profonde fossé défensif du fort, les soldats pouvaient pointer leurs fusils à pierre de tous les angles des murs robustes, et de gros canons bordaient les remparts. Il est facile de comprendre pourquoi aucune force ennemie n’a jamais osé attaquer la citadelle d’Halifax.
Histoire vivante de la citadelle d’Halifax
La citadelle d’Halifax est tout sauf un simple musée. Chaque jour, la citadelle s’anime au son et aux couleurs d’interprètes militaires jouant le rôle de membres du 78e régiment des Highlanders et de l’Artillerie royale. Vêtus d’uniformes identiques à ceux que portaient les militaires au milieu des années 1800, des soldats du 78e régiment des Highlanders gardent l’entrée de la citadelle et font des exercices de marche et de musique sur le terrain de parade.

No dogs please; registered service animals only. The nature of our tour is based on storytelling and creating an atmosphere that draws our guests into the stories. If a dog on the tour has a reaction or barks at a dog passing by, or if more than one dog is brought to the tour and they don’t get along, it breaks the spell and becomes a distraction. We thank you for your understanding.

- Description: Enjoy an ultra-quiet, zero-exhaust ride aboard the first all-electric passenger boat on Halifax Harbour with Halifax Harbour Tours.
Sit back and take in the shoreline views while your guide shares the history of Halifax Harbour, the city of Halifax, and the surrounding area. The Violet Mac is a 1930s river launch style boat, environmentally friendly and built for comfort, with shade from the summer sun and soft upholstered seating for up to eight guests.
Halifax Harbour Tours, founded in 2019 by Colin Smith and Glenna Thornhill, introduced the one-hour harbour tour to the bustling Halifax Waterfront. Before launching Halifax Harbour Tours, Colin ran the Halifax Harbour Hopper for seven years and Glenna was a palliative care nurse. Seven seasons on, they are still operating this popular boat tour.
Tours run from mid-May to late fall. Book by the seat on a scheduled departure or book the whole boat so the trip belongs to your group alone. Full-boat bookings are available daily and on request, subject to availability.
Choose from the Early bird Family Tour, Harbour Morning, Evening Skyline, or the Moonlight Cruise for Two. New for 2026 – the Halifax Explosion Tour with Maritime Museum of the Atlantic guide Kara Gordon-MacKay. For music lovers, Halifax Harbour Tours has welcomed back Tunes on the Water with musician Dan McKinnon, taking place on Thursday and Friday evenings all summer long.
Build the rest of your day while you book. Add a discounted Maritime Museum of the Atlantic pass, or a gift card for a waterfront restaurant, at checkout. Partners include Peace by Chocolate, Darya, Lot 6, Salt & Sol, Baton Rouge, and others (based on availability and season).
Simple, but never ordinary. Halifax Harbour Tours shapes each trip around the interests of the guests aboard. Some days it runs more like a tour, some days more like a cruise. Come and make Halifax memories with our crew on the Violet Mac.

- Description: Located in the heart of the city, the Halifax Public Gardens is one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian Garden in North America. Stroll the Gardens’ many pathways as you take in 16 acres of tranquil beauty.
First established as the original garden space for the NS Horticultural Society in 1836, the Gardens grew to its present size and layout in 1875 through the work of original superintendent Richard Power. Recognized as a National Historic Site in 1984, the Halifax Public Gardens is a true gem that is loved by locals and visitors alike.
Today, the gardens offer an array of colour, from spring blooms of daffodils, tulips, and rhododendrons, to summertime’s colourful annuals, fragrant roses, a dazzling dahlia display and finally, autumn’s brilliant show of fall foliage. Stroll past tropical displays in the summer months, enjoy ornately planted annual flower beds, and the shady reprieve from the sunshine from the many heritage trees throughout the popular outdoor attraction to discover how this historic garden ensures there is always something of interest to see.
A large, ornate bandstand, is located in the center of the gardens and hosts free Sunday afternoon concerts during the summer months. Griffin’s pond is a prominent feature and is frequented by ducks, turtles, osprey and blue heron. There is a family lawn area where people are invited to picnic and play.
Halifax Public Gardens is wheelchair accessible. Wheelchairs for public use are available at the Horticultural Hall which also serves beverages and has public washrooms available.
Halifax Public Garden Rules
For the protection of the Halifax Public Gardens, please note the following rules when visiting:
Do not walk on the grass. The established pathways of the gardens form lovely, educational walks and the views from them display the gardens as they were meant to be seen in the Victorian Era.
The Family Lawn by the southeast gate (Spring Garden Road at Summer Street) is an area to picnic and relax and you are able to walk on the grass in this area only.
Please do not feed the ducks. It can make them dependent on humans for food which interferes with their natural spring and fall migratory patterns. There is plenty of natural food sources available for the ducks throughout the gardens.
No bicycles or scooters are allowed in the gardens and can be chained outside of the garden gates.
Jogging is not allowed within the gardens.
No pets permitted.
- Period of operation: Open year-round
- Hours of Operation: May–November, 7 AM till one half hour prior to dusk; winter, 8 AM to 4 PM, weather permitting

- Description: The Halifax Farmers’ Market was created by Royal Proclamation in June of 1750, a year after the founding of Halifax. The Governor and Council designated a site for the Market – the present day Bank of Montreal building. For 50 years this meat or cattle market, as it was known, sold produce as well as livestock delivered from Acadian farms in the Annapolis Valley and from local farm production.
In 1848 the City of Halifax was incorporated and the original City Charter conveyed the Country Market property to the city “for the public and common benefit and use of the City of Halifax according to the true interest and meaning of the original grant.”
The Market has operated in several locations across the city since its inception in 1750, but moved to the Halifax Seaport in 2010 where it is now known as the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market – the longest continuously running Market in North America and proudly hosts vendors on weekends, year round!
