Iona May 20 - Oct. 15
The Highland Village is a 43 acre living history museum and cultural centre that interprets, presents and celebrates Nova Scotia's Gaelic language and culture.

Sherbrooke Village Sherbrooke June 1 - Oct.15
Discover the peace and tranquility of village life in old Nova Scotia, unruffled by the gold rush that brought Sherbrooke instant prosperity in the 1860s. Hear the splash of the water-powered sawmill, the squeak of a horse-drawn wagon passing by, the muffled thump of the weaver at her loom or smell newly-shaved wood in the woodturner's shop. Explore more than 25 authentic buildings, from the rare Ambrotype photography studio to the pottery shop.
Fisherman's Life Museum Jeddore Oyster Ponds June 1 - Oct.15
This modest house is a typical Nova Scotia inshore fisherman's house of the early 1900s. It has been furnished with the ordinary things of rural living in Nova Scotia fishing communities: a parlour pump organ, hooked mats, grandmother's favorite dishes, and a wood stove.
