This museum has some of the most beautiful ship models, sailboats of unique designs from the Maritime region and artifacts of the wrecks so abundant on the shoreline of Nova Scotia. And to add to this is actual artifacts from the Titanic! Including an actual deck chair. Great displays and fund for the whole family
2. Peggy Of The Cove
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 86 reviews
Storyteller/artist, Ivan Fraser entertains guests while touring through his childhood home museum. Enjoy Peggy of the Cove from legend to reality. Peggy of the Cove was the title given to the sole survivor of a shipwreck that occurred along a rocky coast of Nova Scotia. The folk named their small fishing village after her, Peggy's Cove.

A family home of a very talented local artist, Ivan Fraser, who immerses himself in the role of storyteller about the girl who started it all, and led to Peggy's Cove lighthouse being one of the most famous in the world. Ivan's knowledge of local lore makes a visit here an absolute must! The brightly painted house and grounds make it impossible not to see as you drive by.

Very interesting . . . There was more information here than I expected. If you like history and aircrafts, than you will enjoy visiting this museum. The history is mostly navy related with uniforms and letters, etc. There are also Guides to help patrons with any questions.

We actually walked from the Fairview cemetery to this museum which was an interesting experience alongside the main highway with little or no footpath coverage at times and took us approx 45 mins. Even on our way out it was good 25 min + walk through the adjacent park and then a small overgrown cinder covered path which would render access to many difficult if not impossible, which is a shame as this is a great museum charting events of the 60's when town planning destroyed a whole community. The staff at the museum are friendly and knowledgeable and with some artefacts and stories to listen to this is an important part of Halifax's history however unpalatable it may be. Access by car is much easier and there is ample parking on site although you will need to keep an eye out for the small direction signs as it adjoins a very industrial area. There is seating outside if you wish to enjoy a picnic lunch. The whole museum is housed in the one room and will take approx an hour to fully enjoy, and an adult ticket is just under Cnd$6.
