age of sail heritage museum

Hi Kelly.Thank you for your kind words in your review and for sending me the video it was amazing. I am so glad that you enjoyed your visit to our museum and certainly hope you will come back again. As for the video it was amazing. You did a great job with it and I hope other people enjoy viewing it too.Thanks again Kelly and I hope to see you again.

Thank you for the review we are so glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll come again. We are quit proud of our tool display and glad your son enjoyed it to.

Thank you Jim I am glad you enjoyed your visit to our museum. I would like to clarify that the museum is a community museum that was started by a community group of several volunteers who worked to raise funds along with applying for government grants to start the museum. The museum is now and has always been run by a volunteer community group never by one person or family. Operating funds are raised by fundraisers and on site revenue. I apologise if the guide misinformed you. As well the young man who was your guide is from a local family from Spencer's Island and his great grandfather was a seaman and carpenter. We are happy to be able to provide a work experience to the local students, almost all of which have some ancestral history of the sea or shipbuilding and try to impart on them reliable information to pass on to our guests. Sometimes things do get mixed up or misunderstood and I personally apologise for any misunderstanding. I hope you will mention us to your friends and family and perhaps come visit us again as there is always something new.

Glad you enjoyed your visit and we really appreciate the review. We strive to preserve the history and impart it in an interesting and fun way to visitors and are glad we seem to be succeeding. I hope if your back in the area you'll stop in again!

I really appreciate the fact that the museum keeps improving on what they have . The guide is very knowledgeable and is from the area so knows the history and community of that day and brings it back to life. It really tells what it was like to live in the" age of sale". Definitely worth the stop.

The Age of Sail Museum is a wonderful place to spend several hours learning about a lost era. Its fascinating to see how the people of this time worked and lived. The upper Bay of Fundy is a incredible place to explore for its natural beauty but it is good to have a sense of what brought people to this remote area, how they prospered, and then how "progress" changed their lives. No place better than the Age of Sail Museum to get a sense of what this part of Nova Scotia's roots are.

A wet afternoon in Parrsboro can sometimes turn out to for the best. We stopped at the Age of Sail Museum expecting to spend maybe an hour dodging the rain but stayed all afternoon. The museum is packed with very interesting artefacts covering a wide range of maritime life. There are items on local people and their connections with the sea, the history of shipbuilding in the area and the associations with more widely known ships like Titanic and Mary Celeste. We had a personal guided tour and greatly enjoyed the experience. There is also an on site cafe but we had no time to sample it. This is a great example of local heritage and is funded and run by volunteers. If you get the chance to visit do so!
