Dartmouth Museums

This historic house and estate, located between Dartmouth and Windsor on Route 1, is a true Georgian-style development that was built in 1813 for Attorney-General Richard John Uniacke. The property has seven scenic walking trails that can be enjoyed any time of year. The house, which is open from June to mid-October, gives visitors a feel for the lives on 19th century Nova Scotian gentry. The tea room in the basement is operated by knowledgeable museum interpreters.

The Black community of Nova Scotia has a rich and remarkable history, and this centre celebrates that history with a variety of educational resources. The centre is dedicated to promoting and preserving Black culture. Guided tours, workshops, lectures, concerts, cultural portrayal and events are featured at this comprehensive cultural centre.

This Victoria-era house was originally built in 1867, and was inhabited for many years by famed folklorist, Helen Creighton, who documented and preserved thousands of stories and songs from Nova Scotia's past. The estate now houses the Dartmouth Heritage Museum.
