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 and Tearoom are now OPEN for the season! Hours of operation are Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm for the museum, and 11am to 3pm for the tearoom. We look forward to welcoming you!
This digital guided tour of our museum was produced by Adam Arkens Films and Rascal Media, and was made possible by Tourism Nova Scotia’s Digital NS Program!
