Sherbrooke Village – Our Past is Your Adventure!.

In Barrett's Privateers, Stan Rogers sings "I Wish I Was in Sherbrooke Now". That begs the question, what was he pining for?

He was thinking of one of the hidden gems of Nova Scotia - a picturesque village on the Eastern Shore, nestled on the banks of the St. Mary's River (one of the finest salmon streams in the province), and, for many years, a prosperous gold mining and lumbering town.

Sherbrooke Village is the largest site in the Nova Scotia Museum system. We invite people of all ages to participate in Village life by providing a hands-on interactive, educational and fun experience. At Sherbrooke Village, “Our Past is Your Adventure!”

The following Vacation Packages are available from Sherbrooke Village – Our Past is Your Adventure!...
