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.

Season 2025 runs from Thursday, May 15 to Wednesday, Oct 15. Special events and programs take place throughout the season, and 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!

The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum is located in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional and ancestral lands of the Mi’kmaq people. We honour the Mi’kmaq as the past and present stewards of this land, and are privileged to share and use this land, in mutual care and respect.
