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 so plan to come often and reconnect with your rural roots!
The Farm is now closed for the 2022 season. We continue to be open by appointment throughout the winter months for research, resources and enquiries, and of course, special events. Click the "Contact" link above for all of your queries!
