Canada’s oldest fire pumper. A horse-drawn hearse. The lamp from a Victorian-era lighthouse. All of these treasures and more help us share the deep and diverse history of Shelburne County and its people through our permanent galleries, temporary exhibits, and educational programs. Delve into the history yourself in our research room which is equipped with archival documents, reference books, research files, and microfilms on topics of local interest.
Located in the 1784 home of loyalist cooper David Nairn, the Shelburne County Museum is fully accessible with a front entry ramp, stairlift and folding wheelchair. The site offers self-guided tours in both official languages. Guided tours available by request.
