sherbrooke village

We're glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. The waterwheel was rebuilt to exact measurements by our team of woodworkers two years ago. We hope you'll stop by again.

Nova Scotia has several great examples of living history sites. After visiting Sherbrooke Village, we recommend any of the historic sites on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia and then exploring other sites in the provincial family of museums including in Highland Village or Ross Farm.

You might be interested in our Blacksmith's "Five Hour Forge" program. It's a great one-day learning experience in our Blacksmith Shop. Bookings can be made through our Administration Office at 902 522 2400. Thanks for the visit.

Our restaurant staff is very proud of the Salmon wrap made with fresh Salmon from the nearby St. Mary's River!

Thanks Our staff and volunteers are the reason that the Sherbrooke Village Old Fashioned Christmas celebration won a Nova Scotia tourism award this year.

Lots of different buildings to look at here, and the costumed interpreters are really good. There is a jail within a house, telephone exchange, general store, ambrotype photographer (which I found really interesting), church, homes. Best is the sawmill, a little way down the road, near the press. Lumber camp was not worth the extra walk as we were short of time.Not that well signposted from the road, common problem in NS!

Excellent 'back in time" village. All old buildings, period costumes, well knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend, especially if children traveling too.

We got there late and left early next day. It was a stop on the way to Cape Breton. We liked the B and B and the Jade Restaurant. The food was fresh and well cooked.

We arrived just as a fire broke out in the village, which was very sad but as a result we were not able to leave as the main water hose encompassed the car park we were in so we ended up staying several hours - as a result we met many of the locals, who were just so friendly. This is a very pretty part of the world - and look out for the wee soap shop, the owner is delightful and her soaps are just lovely.

Our family just visited the Village this weekend. This is an interactive living history museum! We learned about printing and saw a press being used, we learned about hand cream and how it was made and my favourite we got to saw wood. The best part was the horse and wagon event and a visit to the functioning saw mill! If you love history, you can not miss the village. I only wish we could have ridden on the Village's icon bicycle!

We visited Sherbrooke Village with our 7-month old daughter and although she's too young to understand, she was taking everything in and had a great day. We spent a good 3-hours within the village itself including lunch at the restaurant which was excellent. All the staff were very kind, friendly, inviting and knowledgeable. Great work has been put into the restoration and upkeep of all the buildings and contents within them. The village is a great reminder of what life was like in rural Nova Scotia many years ago and I hope that its preserved for generations to come. There are bathroom facilities with baby change stations and a gift shop where you can purchase local crafts along with items made within the village itself like pottery and wooden items made by the wood turner.

Now this is a place in which you could get lost in time! It is wonderful to visit a village that really was a village - this is authentic, in fact some homes are still private. The staff are dressed in period clothes and are in most buildings to give you history and interesting demonstrations. I could have spent all day here but we did end up going through everything in about 2 1/2 hours. We also stopped in at the café for lunch and enjoyed soup and sandwiches. The place is very well run and for only $11.75/adult and $4.75/child it is well worth it!
