Kids, are you ready to literally step back in time and experience what coastal Nova Scotia was like back in the 1940s? Well, at Memory Lane Heritage Village you can! Memory Lane Heritage Village is a unique day out where you can actually immerse yourself in a living history museum. That's right - no exhibits and no "do not touch" signs. Here, you LIVE the history as you walk the streets, and really feel what life would have been like all those years ago.

Pretty amazing!

Why not start your adventure at the Hosking General Store, and chat to the storekeeper just as patrons did long before. This family fun business sells everything from needles to anchors - you never know what you might need!

Ding Ding - that must be the school bell! Did you know in the 1940s students attended school in a one-room schoolhouse? Sit at the desks and imagine how different school life would have been - perhaps you want to practice your longhand on the blackboard!

You can spend some time in the Clam Harbor United Church and play a tune on the organ, or simple stop by the garden and see what grew in the 1940s! 

At Memory Lane Heritage Village you can see how the introduction of electricity transformed the family home (that's right kids, those light bulbs weren't always there!), or perhaps you can learn about why the icehouse was so important.

From mills, to metal workshops, to the family barn with those adorable animals (and yes, there are kittens!), this living history museum gives kids an education they could never achieve from reading books. 

If you really want to amp up your experience, you can take part in some of the experiences and packages on offer, including personalized journeys and overnight stays. 

Are you ready to see Nova Scotia history come to life right in front of your very eyes?
