Welcome

The Kings Historical Society acknowledges that we are located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral lands and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.  We acknowledge the treaties of peace and friendship, and we thank the Mi’kmaw nation for their generosity in sharing their homeland with us. 

 

Welcome to  the  website of  Nova Scotia’s Kings County Museum.

We are pleased to showcase our museum and the work being done by the Kings Historical Society, who own and operate the museum. Welcome and enjoy!

The Museum is open from Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
