This is our last weekend of open time at the museum. We are happy to know that we had the busiest season so far and that we have shared our special place with many folks.
This season we welcomed visitors from all Canadian provinces, at least 12 different US states, other countries such as Scotland, England, Germany, Mexico and The Netherlands. We have met some amazing people!!!
Thank you to everyone who made time to come visit “our place”.
A very special thank you to all of our faithful volunteers, without whom this adventure would not be possible.
It is safe to say that our new sewing room is a huge hit!!!

We welcomed visitors from all ten of our country’s provinces, many of the U.S states and also a number of other countries. We are blessed! Thank you!!

This is a vintage candy box with original ribbon still intact. It dates to early mid-20th-century.

This is a vintage candy box from Artstyle Chocolate Company in Toronto. It also dates to the early mid 20th century. The original ribbon is still present and the graphics are still very legible.

This vintage cardboard box was most likely a keepsake box or used as a way to gift a pair of gloves. It dates from 1910 -1930’s. Beautiful box with original ribbons still intact!

In October of 1992, Dr Allan MacKay, veterinarian was inducted into “The Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame”.
Doc Allan, as he was lovingly known in this area, grew up on a farm in neighbouring Heathbell, was educated at Heathbell School and Pictou Academy and graduated from NS Agricultural College in 1943, and from The Ontario Veterinary College in 1951. He had one of the first purebred Guernsey herds in Canada. Dr MacKay was a huge supporter of 4-H and his name is proudly on the 4-H barn at The Pictou North Colchester exhibition grounds in Pictou. If you visit our museum, you can learn much more about Dr Allan MacKay. We even have his veterinary instruments on display.

This past week we had a visit and conversation with Paul from True Patriotic Love Media. Attached is the link recorded by Paul’s lovely wife Shara. It was such a pleasure to meet these fine folks. Have a look at some of their other videos on YouTube!

Step inside a 10,000-square-foot Nova Scotia museum packed with 7,000 artifacts. See the forgotten tools and stories that built everyday life.

This great poster was researched and designed by one of our awesome volunteers, Jane Morrigan. It features the history of Scotsburn Creamery and this building where our museum is located. It follows along from its very beginning in the year 1900, through many milestones and ends with the sale of the milk division in 2014 and then the sale of the ice cream division along with the Scotsburn brand in 2017. Jane used as references, Jennifer MacLennan’s book, 100 Years of Scotsburn, written in 2001 as well as a publication in 1920, The Farmer’s Advocate. We purchased the building in 2016 from Scotsburn Co-operative Services. We opened our museum on June 3rd, 2018. From the early stages of our hopes to have a museum to display and share our collection, Jane has been an amazing supporter. Thank you, Jane, for all your interest and hard work in creating this incredible addition to our museum.
