Mahone Bay Museum

Lovely staff and a beautiful museum. The museum is a community museum showcasing interests in local history and heritage preservation. The museum protects and provides on-site and on-line access to the history of the Mahone Bay area to prevent it from becoming forgotten or lost. The main exhibits are the 1754 Settlement of the area, Shipbuilding in Mahone Bay, Three Churches of Mahone Bay, Local Ceramics Collector Percy Inglis, Settler Families of Mahone Bay, Early Kitchens, WWI.

The tour guide really did a great job. A lot to see and learn. Saw an embalmed lobster in the aquarium; caught in 1977. 20 kg, 50 years old

This little museum strikes the perfect balance between homeyness and sophistication. It is thoughtfully curated and the staff is engaged and knowledgable reflecting a sincere love for their Town.

This is a small museum, filled with displays of the early days of the town. One of the staff gave us an interesting talk about the early settlers. It was well worth an hour of our time.
