Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum

Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum Welcome to the Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum! Preserving the NSH legacy since 1986! Admission by donation, all welcome.

The Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum was started by our curator, Ray Coulson, in 1986 to preserve the history of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders. Since then, we have also expanded to teach the history of the 85th battalion and many other regiments and peoples from Cumberland County who served our country. Note: To access the museum there is a flight of stairs as our elevator is not in service. We do apologize for the inconvenience and the inaccessible state of the collection.

Hi Everyone. I wanted to inform you all that we have finally moved or I should say moving, we are in the huge process of setting up the artifacts and displays in our new location. As soon as we are open to the public I will let you all know.
Also once we are open I have copies of the book No Retreating Foot Steps.
Thank you all for your patience as this is a huge undertaking ( One year almost to the date of the Armories being closed). See you all in the near future.
C.W.O Ray Coulson
