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 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.
