Historic Sherbrooke Village, live the adventure in our past! A living memory of community life in this depiction of a typical Nova Scotian village from 1860 to pre-WWI. With approximately 80 buildings, 25 of which are open to the public, it is the largest Nova Scotia Museum site. Built on the fortunes of timber, tall ships and gold, Sherbrooke Village looks and feels just as it did over a hundred years ago.
From the ambling gait of a horse and wagon, to the tumbling water over the mill wheel, to fresh baked bread in a wood stove - savour the sights, sounds and smells which bring to life the rich history of Sherbrooke. Find out how you can embark on a "hands-on" pioneer adventure and become part of a living Victorian Village diorama.
Visit the woodturner shop, blacksmith, pottery shop, and printery. During your visit, enjoy a delicious, light meal at the What Cheer Tea Room, located within the Village. Built on an economy of shipbuilding, lumbering and gold mining, Sherbrooke Village reflects Nova Scotia as it was during its industrial boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
