About This Museum

You'd never guess that one of Atlantic Canada's most charming little museums is tucked away in a former convent in Bouctouche. I was completely disarmed by its warm, unpretentious atmosphere the moment I stepped inside. It feels less like a formal institution and more like a local family invited you over to see their most treasured heirlooms. The sheer variety of artifacts, from Mi'kmaq tools to Victorian gowns, tells a sprawling story of the Kent County region that's both intimate and grand.

Collection Highlights

I was particularly captivated by the intricate Quilt of the Acadian Flag, a stunning textile piece with incredible history. Another standout is the massive collection of glass photographic plates offering a ghostly, beautiful glimpse into 19th-century life. Don't miss the old general store setup—it’s so authentic you can almost smell the penny candy.

Architecture & Building

The building itself is a beautiful and stately former convent, classic for the region with its red brick facade, tall windows, and a quiet, dignified presence that feels instantly historic.
