The Port George Lighthouse is red and white and sits alongside the cliff on the main road in Port George. If you go down the road a little farther there is a lovely picnic park with washroom facility. Port George has a very interesting beach and if you are anywhere Middleton in the Annapolis Valley, you should venture up to Port George and see the lighthouse and the picnic park and have a walk on the beach...Lots of seals there !! A lovely spot!
2. Greenwood Military Aviation Museum

The museum contains an excellent collection of artifacts representing the operational Squadrons based at Greenwood from their inception to the present. There are several interactive displays, including a flight simulator, an Argus tactical compartment and cutaway engines. In a separate section there are aircraft on display that can be entered and touched. Excellent for children and old pilots. The air park outdoors has an amazing collection including a Lancaster bomber, an Aurora, an Argus and a Hercules. A small memorial garden allows a moment to reflect on the proud heritage of the Squadrons based here and their sacrifices on our behalf. This museum is larger than it seems, but even for a serious devotee it is a great way to spend an afternoon. The gift shop has an outstanding collection of models and aircraft paraphernalia.

What a wonderful area to explore tide pools. Periwinkles abound, as many other wonderful surprises.
During our vacation I visited twice with the kids. Once as the tide was coming in, and didn't find too many things left in any of the tide pools, but still amazing to see the sections of rock getting covered in water while we were there. The other as the tide was still going out. We found many crabs, feeding barnacles, and other life in the tide pools.
We had been told by locals that sometimes seals can be seen sunning themselves at low tide on the rocks, we never did see any.
On our first visit we had an upclose encounter with a bald eagle, such a sight to be seen.
We brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed our time.

This beautiful lighthouse sits majestically on the Bay of Fundy coast in Margaretville. The rarely seen black and white colour scheme is a true eye catcher and the community takes great pride in seeing to the upkeep and preservation of this historic site.
5. Oaklawn Farm Zoo

Spent a couple of hours here recently on a cool weekend afternoon. It was very busy with many families with young children visiting the animals. I was very impressed with the variety of animals at the zoo - from monkeys, zebras, camels, llamas, lions, tigers and bears to lemurs, deer, foxes, goats, capybaras, wallabies and farm animals and many more! There is also a reptile exhibit with large snakes and lizards. It is a large area and the animals appear very well kept although many of them were sleeping when we visited mid-afternoon. This is an attraction that is enjoyable for both young and old and there is something to see for everyone.

We visited the area for Cyndy's family history. They have sooo much stuff that is not available online for local family history - old newspapers, deeds, books, family submissions, .... They photocopy for you. A measly $3 admission was well worth it; not sure how they pay the bills. Show your support when you visit.

Took a friend here riding for her very first time. She took Halle and I took my old buddy Scruffy. We had so much fun! I will definitely be going back, and will be taking another friend/first-time rider with me. (and it won't be quite as long between visits this time).

Paragon Golf and Country Club is a semiprivate golf course consisting of 18 of the finest golf holes in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. There is a mixture of tree-lined fairways with tight greens as well as wide open fairways with accommodating greens. Water hazards and sand traps add to your golfing experience as you wind your way through the course. Low membership fees are a pleasant surprise when compared to other courses in the Annapolis Valley and green fees are reasonable too. Paragon is a full featured golf course with all the amenities of a first class golf course including tournament banquet hosting. Staff and members are friendly and courteous and look forward to showing off their beloved course.

We played Paragon on Aug. 01 and it was great. The fairways and greens are in great shape and the course is quite scenic. Pace of play wasn't an issue as it is at some courses. Price was quite good for a long weekend and we were surprised to be able to catch a tee time last minute.
It's a long drive for us, but we will be returning.

This wood fame Anglican church was built between 1789–91 and is typical of colonial churches built in Nova Scotia during that time. It is reported to be the only unchanged Loyalist church in North America. Inside is a view into the past where the old box pews with doors are still in use on special occasions. The pine floor boards and many of the windows are the originals. The church is open for viewing during the summer months - try to see it when it is open.

There is a lot of railway "stuff" in this museum. Unfortunately it does not seemed to be organized into any sort logical display. There is a working model train (which the people there turned on for me) but then there are also lots of old broken pieces of model trains around on display. There are conductor hats, old timetables, snowshoes, etc. but they are not arranged to tell a story or history. If they are, I missed it! The building is interesting as it is the former DAR station for the town. I am an enthusiastic railway yet I only spent about five minutes in the building - it was just too full of "stuff" that had not been organized for a visitor.
