Welcome to the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum
The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum is a community museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting Cole Harbour's agricultural past, and to developing understanding of plants, animals and farming today. It is owned and operated by the Cole Harbour Rural Heritage Society, a registered charity which relies heavily on community support, volunteers and donations. Admission is by donation so plan to come often and reconnect with your rural roots!
Considering the spread of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia and based on the recommendations of health officials, The Farm Museum, including the property and trails, will remain closed to the public until further notice. All programming will be cancelled during this time. If you wish to contribute to the continued efforts of The Farm Museum, please consider donating online.
