The Age of Sail Heritage Centre is a family-oriented centre depicting the rich heritage of the Minas Basin timber and shipbuilding industries. Archives and professionally designed exhibits can be found in the main pavilion, which is a restored Methodist Church built in 1854. A blacksmith shop, as well as the Port Greville Lighthouse (circa 1908) is also part of the Heritage Centre for visitors to explore. Special activities for children are available. In 2011, the centre opened a new building with extended displays, a research area, conservation room and community/multi-media room. On site you will also find a café and gift shop overlooking the tidal Greville River. We are pleased to provide our services in French and English. Age of Sail Heritage Centre is located in Port Greville (Highway 209, 23 km / 14 mi from Parrsboro) in the Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley region.

Admission: Admission charged.

Open June 1 – October 12: 10am–6pm Thur–Mon (daily in Jul & Aug).

I think of Pinterest as a wonderful tool for vision or dream boarding. For many of us, our dreams often include travel and adventure. And for those who are part of our Nova Scotia online community, those dreams include a Nova Scotia. And so begins our adventure with Pinterest.

The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
