- 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: Halifax’s Old Burying Ground is a quiet place of reflection and history in the heart of the city.
Established in 1749, this non-denominational burying ground is the final resting place of more than 10,000 people, from a broad cross-section of Nova Scotian society. Early settlers, military leaders, Loyalists, African Nova Scotians, and Mi’kmaq are buried here.
There are 1,200 historical grave markers to explore, including hundreds of rare examples from the 18th century. These works of art, carved with grinning skulls, soaring angels and heart-wrenching epitaphs reveal changing attitudes towards death and tell the history of early Halifax.
The oldest surviving gravestone is the 1752 marker for Malachi Salter, son of a local merchant. The last burial took place August 18, 1844. The best-known burial is likely that of British Major-General Robert Ross, who gave the orders to burn the White House & U.S Capitol in the War of 1812.
The Old Burying Ground is a National Historic Site as well as a Provincial and Municipal Heritage Property. It is owned by St Paul’s Anglican Church and maintained by the non-profit Old Burying Ground Foundation. Open June 1 – November 11. Admission is free. Donations are appreciated.
“I don’t know that a graveyard is a very good place to go to get cheered up, but it seems the only get-at-able place where there are trees, and trees I must have.”
Anne Shirley, describing the Old Burying Ground in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne Of The Island.

- 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.

- Description: Step into “Acacia Grove,” an elegant Georgian house nestled in the picturesque Annapolis Valley. This historic site was the home of Charles Prescott, a visionary horticulturist who played a pivotal role in establishing Nova Scotia’s apple industry from 1811 to 1859. He introduced many apple varieties to the province and was instrumental in founding the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association.
Through the efforts of his great-granddaughter, Mary Allison Prescott, the neglected house was restored in the 1930s. Now known as Prescott House Museum, this National and Provincial Historic Site showcases family portraits, antique furnishings, and Miss Prescott’s collection of hand-stitched samplers and Oriental carpets.
Enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding gardens and lush countryside with a picnic on the grounds, sitting in the garden or just strolling around the property. From June to October, vibrant flower displays brighten the informal English garden’s rock garden, rose garden, and perennial borders. The garden was initially designed in 1935 by Scottish landscape gardener Mary Stewart, known for her work on prominent gardens in Quebec.
Prescott House Museum is conveniently located in Starr’s Point (Highway 101, Exit 11 to Port Williams, right on Starr’s Point Road off Highway 358) in the Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley region. Bus tours are welcome, making it an ideal destination for history and nature enthusiasts.

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.
Parks Canada’s oTENTik accommodations, a cross between a tent and a rustic cabin, can be found in the fields west of the Visitor Information Centre at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. It is ideal for campers who want the comforts of home while experiencing the great outdoors. Please visit our website to reserve your stay.
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.
Les hébergements oTENTik de Parcs Canada, un mélange entre une tente et un chalet rustique, se trouvent dans les champs à l’ouest du centre d’information aux visiteurs du lieu historique national de Grand-Pré.

- Description: French follows below | Le français suit ci dessous
This area was first known as Nme’juaqnek – place of bountiful fish. Mi’kmaq traditionally came here to gather and fish. In the 1600s and 1700s, it was the centre of early European colonization and settlement. Today, the fort is situated on 15 hectares (37 acres) of land in beautiful Annapolis Royal and is what remains of a long line of forts first erected by the Scots, then subsequently built by the French and lastly taken over and re-built by the British to become what we now know as Fort Anne National Historic Site.
On your visit, step inside the Officers’ Quarters Museum to explore the exhibits and discover the relationships between the Mi’kmaq, French, British, Acadians, and African Nova Scotians who have called this place home. Take some time to admire the painting, “Our People” by Loretta Gould, depicting Mi’kmaw presence in Nme’juaqnek since time immemorial. View the handcrafted Fort Anne Heritage Tapestry designed by Kyoko Grenier-Sage and fabricated by hundreds of volunteers, depicting the last 400 years and arrival of Europeans in the area.
On the grounds, stroll along the perimeter walking trail and enjoy the interpretive panels and grand vistas of the Annapolis River and Basin. If timing permits, take advantage of a guided tour of the Vauban Fortifications or delve into the Acadian connection to Fort Anne with a Parks Canada interpreter.
Open daily 9 am to 5 pm
Services change with the seasons. The grounds are open year-round.
Lieu historique national du Fort-Anne
Cette région a d’abord été connue sous le nom de Nme’juaqnek – lieu de pêche abondante. Les Mi’kmaq y venaient traditionnellement pour faire de la cueillette et de la pêche. Dans les années 1600 et 1700, la région a été au cœur de la colonisation et de l’établissement des premiers Européens. Aujourd’hui, le fort est situé sur un terrain de 15 hectares (37 acres) dans la belle ville d’Annapolis Royal et constitue ce qui reste d’une longue série de forts d’abord érigés par les Écossais, puis construits par les Français et enfin repris et reconstruits par les Britanniques pour devenir ce que nous connaissons aujourd’hui sous le nom de lieu historique national du Fort-Anne.
Lors de votre visite, entrez dans le Musée du quartier des officiers pour explorer les expositions et découvrir les relations entre les Mi’kmaq, les Français, les Britanniques, les Acadiens et les Néo Écossais d’origine africaine qui ont élu domicile dans ce lieu. Prenez le temps d’admirer le tableau « Our People » de Loretta Gould, qui illustre la présence des Mi’kmaq à Nme’juaqnek depuis des temps immémoriaux. Découvrez la Tapisserie historique du Fort-Anne, conçue par Kyoko Grenier Sage et fabriquée à la main par des centaines de bénévoles, décrivant les 400 dernières années et l’arrivée des Européens dans la région.
Sur le site, vous pouvez suivre le sentier périphérique et profiter des panneaux d’interprétation et des vues grandioses sur la rivière et le bassin Annapolis. Si le temps le permet, faites une visite guidée des fortifications de Vauban ou apprenez-en plus sur le lien entre les Acadiens et le fort Anne avec un interprète de Parcs Canada.

- Description: Wallace Area Museum located 2 km /1.5 mi west of Wallace in the Northumberland Shore region is the restored home (c 1839) of local shipbuilder James Davison. The picturesque village of Wallace boasts a diverse cultural heritage: first a Mi’kmaq settlement, then an Acadian village and, in 1784, a land grant for over 460 United Empire Loyalists. It has remnants of Mi’kmaq habitation and Acadian dykes as reminders of their early settlers. The museum houses various exhibits of the Davison family, local history, and the area’s industrial history. With over three thousand artifacts in the museum collection, display changes occur yearly. Please visit our website for details of our current display topics. Visitors are invited to stroll through the museum garden areas, where many of the original plants and trees can still be found.

- Description: McCulloch House Museum & Genealogy Centre features local historical exhibits, and hosts many events throughout the season. The Research Centre has family and community histories, including vital stats, newspapers, and cemetery, census, and shipping records.
Beginning in 1773, hundreds of ships carrying thousands of Scottish immigrants began arriving in Pictou Harbour. One man, Dr. Thomas McCulloch, came ashore in 1803 and soon found himself leading a movement destined to change the lives of 19th-century Nova Scotians.
An immensely important figure in provincial and national history, McCulloch championed new ways of thinking about education, politics and religion. He lobbied for equal access to education and insisted that learning should include the study of science. His crusade changed Nova Scotia’s educational and political landscape and ultimately lead to the establishment of the province’s first public school.
In addition to his contributions to society, McCulloch was also an avid naturalist with direct ties to James Audubon. The museum features artifacts from McCulloch’s natural history collection, including a framed print given to McCulloch by Audubon.
Come visit the 200-year-old brick home where McCulloch and his wife, Isabella, raised their family. Explore the interactive exhibit that details how one man’s passion resulted in the creation of public education in Nova Scotia.
Parking on-site. Bus tours are welcome. Walking trail. Partial wheelchair access.

- Description: Come explore an area rich in history and culture that is nestled within the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.
First used by the Mi’kmaq as a base for fishing and transportation, French and English settlements dotted these remote islands for over 300 years. In the 18th century, the English fort at Grassy Island was the site of a historic battle. Today, Canso Islands National Historic Site welcomes curious explorers upon its windswept shores to walk the ruins of this earthen fort and dive into the stories of this forgotten settlement.
Stop by the Parks Canada Visitor Centre in Canso to learn all about Canso’s history and make use of our electric vehicle charging stations before heading out on your next journey. Hop on a fishing boat for a free ride over to Grassy Island and walk amongst the ruins of the old fort and fishing village. If you are interested in spending more time on the water than on the island, bring your own stand-up paddleboard, kayak, or canoe and check out the view of Grassy Island from the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean.
Visitors are advised to call ahead (902-366-3136) to confirm whether the ferry to Grassy Island is running. Delays or cancellations may be caused due to weather or personnel shortages.

- Description: Joggins Fossil Cliffs on the Bay of Fundy: Canada’s 15th UNESCO World Heritage Site
Explore up to 15 kilometres of magnificently exposed layers of rock along the Bay of Fundy coastline, just 30 minutes from Amherst and 40 minutes from Parrsboro. Towering cliffs reveal the world’s most complete fossil record of life in the ‘Coal Age’ when lush forests covered Joggins and much of the world’s tropical regions, 300 million years ago.
Constant erosion from the Bay of Fundy’s tides, rising and falling up to 13 metres (42 feet) in Joggins twice daily, creates possibilities for exposing new, rare fossils. Search for fossils on the beach or view the spectacular sandstone layers with fossilized remains of the 300-million-year-old forest. With careful observation, you may even find fossils of animal and insect trackways or the remains of amphibians or Hylonomus lyelli – the oldest known reptile and Nova Scotia’s provincial fossil!
Snap photos of your finds to share but remember that physically collecting or removing fossils without a Heritage Research Permit in Nova Scotia is not permitted under the Special Places Protection Act. As the official repository for fossils found at the UNESCO site, consider sharing any photos of your findings and their approximate location with staff at the Joggins Fossil Centre.
Be sure to stop by the Centre’s gift shop for books for all ages and a large selection of jewellery, prints, knitted wear, home goods and more all made by local artisans.
The Centre is barrier free and includes accessible parking, ramps, power doors, and wheelchair accessible washrooms. The nearby beach and cliffs are only accessible via stairs and can be accessed outside of Centre hours from May through November but be sure to check tide times when planning your visit. More information to help you plan your visit is available HERE.

- Description: St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, located in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, is the mother Church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth. On the site of a little wooden chapel built in 1784, the cornerstone of St. Mary’s Cathedral was laid in 1820. It opened to the public in 1829, was consecrated October 19, 1899, and declared a minor Basilica in 1950.
This Gothic Revival Catholic Cathedral is home to a museum, which hosts relics of many saints, including a chasuble worn by Saint Pope John Paul II when he visited Halifax in 1984.
Come and see the beautiful German made stained glass windows – restored after the Halifax Explosion – the Casavant Frères pipe organ, and the exquisite murals – newly restored in 2020 – which form a backdrop to the altar.
St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica is a must-see for visitors to Halifax. Tours of the Cathedral are available in July and August.

- Description: For two centuries people have gathered at the Old Meeting House for township business and religious worship. Designated as a Canadian National Historic Site, this New England–style meeting house is the oldest non-conformist house of worship in Canada and among the oldest in North America. Built in 1765 by Congregationalist fishermen and farmers from Cape Cod, known as the New England Planters, the Meeting House was a building-in-progress for its first hundred years until the windows, doors, box pews, and a pulpit were added in the mid-1800s.
Inside you will see period “graffiti” and listen to the remarkable acoustics as you speak from the pulpit. Visitors are encouraged to try writing with a quill and ink, blowing bubbles and playing games, 18th-century-style.
Outside, viewing the landscape and the graveyard, you can hear the stories of the first people to inhabit Menistukek/Barrington, the Mi’kmaq, as well as learn about the early French, Acadian and Planter settlers of l’Acadie and the Township of Barrington.
During your visit to the Old Meeting House Museum, take a guided tour to learn how this area was settled and hear stories about the original settlers. Weekly concerts, presentations, and events take place during the season. Please check our website or social media accounts for details.
A tax-free gift shop featuring museum-made and locally sourced items is an added feature at this historic site. This museum site is a part of the Nova Scotia Museums as well as the Barrington Museum Complex which includes four museum sites all within walking distance of each other along the scenic Barrington River.

- Description: On the shore of the Northumberland Strait, Amherst Shore Provincial Park offers an attractive woodland setting for camping. Walking, swimming or beachcombing are enjoyable pastimes here. The park’s main hiking trail is 2.5 km (1.5 miles) long and follows Annabelles Brook through the coastal woods out to the unsupervised beach. A walk along the park’s shore reveals distinctive red sandstone cliffs towering 12 metres (40 feet) above the strait.

- Description: Uisge Ban Falls Nature Campground (formerly The Falls Campground) has been open since 2010. Owners/Operators, Roy and Gillian enjoy spending time upgrading their 80-acre family property into a place where others can share in their “little piece of heaven”. Uisge Ban, pronounced “ish-kuh bahn” or “oosh-kuh bahn”, is Gaelic for “white water” which is perfectly named for the distant sound of the Uisge Ban waterfalls that can help lull you to sleep when you stay with us.
All 12 of our unserviced sites, ranging from open to wooded overnight sites, are spacious and have excellent drainage so sites stay dry, even after a heavy rain. The sounds of nature and distant roar of the Uisge Ban waterfalls can be heard from every site.
Campground amenities include:
Washroom facilities with flush toilets and hot showers
fire pits and picnic tables at every site
firewood and ice available for purchase
clean spring water available onsite
freshwater river for swimming in the summer months
Nearby attractions and activities include:
5 minute walk to Uisge Ban Falls Provincial Park with a hiking trail that leads to the waterfall
Golf at Bell Bay Golf Course
Boat tours on Baddeck Bay
Shops, restaurants and more in Baddeck
Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, where you can learn about one of the world’s most respected inventors that had a summer estate near Baddeck
Payment by cash only. We charge $35 for the first tent and two people occupancy. Families with children under 16 are still at that rate but extra adults are $10 each. Group rates available.
After June 30, we can be reached more quickly through text or phone than email.

- Description: Cosy wooden cottage vacation home on a paradisical private island, and a second cottage on the mainland.
Experience an explosion of colours this autumn with a Canadian island getaway. Discover the tranquillity of Hunt Island, where your only neighbours are of the four-legged variety.
This attractive private island on the vast Ponhook Lake is available for rent. The lake is very popular among tourists and natives and is characterized by its many islands and very interesting scenic coastal areas. It reaches temperatures of up to 23 °C in summer and is therefore suited for all kinds of water sports. The island is covered by dense mixed forest and one could not imagine a more relaxing place to stay.
Rates
CAD $290 per day for up to six guests.
Minimum stay 3 days; we recommend one week.
Cleaning deposit of CAD $150.
Location
On Ponhook Lake, only half a kilometer from the small town of Molega, a nice drive through scenic dense woodland away.
Accommodation
The two-storey house (approx. 1300 sq ft) on Hunt Island boasts a small open loft space, two bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. On the first floor, a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a large dining and living room with open kitchen can be found. Water sports equipment is kept in the boathouse.
Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped. Very good shopping facilities are located in Bridgewater, the largest town in the South Shore region, which can be reached in 35 minutes.
Activities
Swimming, canoeing, hiking or fishing. Kejimkujik National Park is not too far away. A boat, sailboard, kayak and some canoes are available on the island.
Best Time to Travel
Spring, summer and autumn are ideal seasons for touring, though if you wish to ski, winter or early spring are naturally the best times for this sport. Swimming and sunbathing are excellent in the summer months of July and August. Enjoy late summer and early fall from late September to mid-October when you can experience the explosion of autumn colours, abundance of wildlife and orchestra of sounds.
Getting There
Fly to Halifax International Airport. We can book rental cars at reasonable prices for you from the airport.
