Welcome to the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum
The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm is a community museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting Cole Harbour's agricultural past, and developing understanding of plants, animals and farming today. It is owned and operated by the Cole Harbour Rural Heritage Society, a registered charity, whose mission is to actively involve the public in awareness and protection of our natural and cultural resources and foster appreciation and respect for community - past, present, and future. The Farm relies heavily on community support, volunteers and donations. Admission is by donation (give what you can!) so plan to come often and reconnect with your rural roots! The visitor season runs from May 15 to October 15 each year.
While the visitor season has now come to a close, we are still here! Throughout the winter months we are available for your enquiries, and appointments may be made for research and resources. Watch for special events and happenings all year long. To stay up to date, follow us on Facebook or subscribe to our e-news at the "get involved" tab. We hope to see you soon!
