| As a
year-round community
museum, we offer a variety of exhibits and have on hand a very diverse
collection of artifacts from household items to farm equipment. The
following
are the largest.
Clock
Collection - Over
150 antique clocks and watches on permanent exhibit from the Nova
Scotia
Museum. These objects were collected by the late Norman Phinney and
sold
to the Nova Scotia Museum with the understanding that they be displayed
in the Middleton area.
Rusty
Nail Collection
- This collection consists of over 500 items assembled and catalogued
by
the students of Middleton Regional Junior High School history teacher,
Mrs. Leonie Cumming, who began teaching at the school in 1949. Housed
first
at the high school, the collection moved to the museum in 1980 and is
an
integral part of its collection.
Archives
- The library
contains many sources for those seeking their family roots or just
wanting
to do research on local subjects. Contains information on, but not
limited
to, Annapolis County families and local communities.
