Uniacke Estate
Museum Park
Mount Uniacke June 1 - Oct.15 (Trails Open Year Round)
Experience a grand country mansion and its parkland. Imagine you are visiting Richard John Uniacke, who built this wonderful estate nearly 200 years ago. There are 7 walking trails and a very special house to explore. Antique lovers will delight in the early Wedgwood china, fine George Adams furniture, colonial portraits and furnishings. Birdwatchers will love the Piliated Woodpeckers.
Fisherman's Life Museum Jeddore Oyster Ponds June 1 - Oct.15
This modest house is a typical Nova Scotia inshore fisherman's house of the early 1900s. It has been furnished with the ordinary things of rural living in Nova Scotia fishing communities: a parlour pump organ, hooked mats, grandmother's favorite dishes, and a wood stove.
