While time machines may be the stuff of fiction, a visit to Sherbrooke Village might just make you wonder if they actually do exist.  A living memory of a typical Nova Scotia community from 1860 to pre-Word War I, Sherbrooke Village brings history off the pages and before your very eyes. Built on the fortunes of timber, tall ships and gold, Sherbrooke Village looks and feels just as it did over a hundred years ago.

From the ambling gait of a horse and wagon, to the tumbling water over the mill wheel, to fresh baked bread in a wood stove - savour the sights, sounds and smells which bring to life the rich history of Sherbrooke. Visiting the woodturner shop, blacksmith, pottery shop, and printery, our knowledgeable period-costumed villagers are eager to introduce you to their way of life.  As the largest museum site in Nova Scotia, Sherbrooke Village offers daily demonstrations, displays, concerts, and over 20 historic buildings to explore.  It’s a full day of fun and discovery for the entire family. 

And if the old fashioned ways appeal to you, find out how you can embark on your own “hands-on” pioneer adventure and become part of a living Victorian Village diorama.
