Yarmouth County Museum

Nova Scotia


This museum in a former church has a typically eclectic collection of artifacts: look out for a Victorian funeral hearse and stagecoach, an original Fresnel lamp from the Cape Forchu Lightstation, and a mysterious 'runic stone' that some people claim was left by Viking explorers.

Your ticket includes admission to Pelton-Fuller House next door, which is filled with period artwork, glassware and furniture.
