This museum houses a lot of our towns rare artifacts. I was very impressed with so many articles. One has to go upstairs to see all of them. As my grandmother Hickey worked here, I was very interested in the old pictures, however, I did not see her in any of them. I was also acting as Sir Charles Tupper on one occasion and his hope was on Victoria St. in Amherst.

A Rug Hooking Studio where you can learn the art of rug hooking in just a few minutes. It is a haven for fibre artists, knitters, rug hookers, and any one who loves wool. You can visit us, learn how to hook rugs and have tea and oatcakes. Deanne is recognized world wide for her rugs and has written seven books. The studio sells her rugs as well as kits and supplies for rug hooking.

On our road trip to Cape Breton Island we stopped into the Nova Scotia Welcome Centre to take a break. Was pleasantly surprised by the well kept grounds. We took advantage of photo opportunities at the Welcome to Nova Scotia sign and lighthouse. The Welcome Centre was indeed welcoming because the staff was very happy to provide us with directions to Sydney NS plus a map. The gift shop had a wide selection of souvenirs and they were very well-priced and we ended buying some Nova Scotia pins to add to my collection. Last but not least, the washroom facilities were very clean (a bonus for anyone on a road trip).
