The Jost House is the oldest house in Sydney Nova Scotia, built in 1786. We are open June 1st to October 29th and/or all cruise ship days. During your visit, a guide will give you a personal tour of our 1786 kitchen and the ground floor of the museum. The basement has been restored to the original 18th century kitchen. On the ground floor we have many historical Victorian artifacts in our bedroom, parlour, dining room and store. The upstairs portion of the house, added in 1910, has four different exhibit rooms to browse around in at your leisure. Our Hours in September and October are 10-4 Monday to Saturday but vary on cruise ship days. We are open on Sundays if a cruise ship is in port.

Well worth visiting this house, one of the oldest remaining colonial houses in Sydney. VERY cheap to go in.. and certainly value for money! Very pleasant staff inside dressed in period costume. You could have a guided tour or walk around yourself. Very nicely laid out and although the rooms are small they are crammed full of interesting things to see and many items belonged to the Jost family. The kitchen area was lovely and cool.. boy was it a hot day outside! very informative gentleman gave us the history and description of what went on when the house was occupied and he got us to try and identify several artifacts.. we didn't do too well!! Highly recommend including Jost House in your plans when visiting super friendly and lovely Sydney. the whole town was a treat to visit!

This Sydney Merchant Mariners Memorial is not jost an impressive monument but also a very important one. The monument tells the heroic story of the sailors on merchant ships carrying equipment and supplies to the Allied forces in Europe during WWII.

We arrived in Sydney at Cruise Ship and the first thing I saw on the pier was The Big Fiddle; What a musical reception! The Fiddle is 60 feet high and was designed and built by Cyril Hearn. In 2005 The Big Fiddle was placed here as a salute to the folk music and traditions of the Celtic community here in Nova Scotia.
