What to See and Do
Our Farm Animals
The museum partners with area farms each year to bring in a small selection of traditional livestock from May to October. This generally includes sheep, poultry, pigs, and calves. A few of the animals are mature and rejoin us each year while others arrive as new spring babies who will grow up with us over the season. Where possible we bring in traditional and heritage breeds, typical of what would have been kept in Cole Harbour over the last 100 years.

Groups and Guided Visits
Guided visits may be arranged in advance by contacting the museum. We offer tours for a variety of groups and interests (a small fee applies for all guided or staff-assisted visits). Groups numbering 12 or more MUST be accompanied by a museum guide to ensure the safety of visitors, animals and collections. Please contact us in advance at 902-434-0222 to make reservations. The Farm Museum reserves the right to ask an unannounced group to return on another day when proper guiding arrangements can be made.
