History

This local museum illustrated the history of Canso Town and eastern Guysborough County, with exhibits from Canso Harbour. These guides will show you a birds-eye view of the town from the widow’s walk on the rooftop. Some of these displays also include panoramas of Canso, period furniture, photographs and other historical memorabilia.
