Ross Farm Museum

Ross Farm Museum

Ross Farm Museum is located in New Ross, Nova Scotia, Canada, about an hour's drive from Halifax. It is an agricultural museum and part of the Nova Scotia Museum system, aiming to raise awareness of the importance of Nova Scotia’s rural heritage.

The museum’s exhibits feature historic buildings, agricultural tools, household furniture, live animals, and working artisans, allowing visitors to experience rural life while learning about the area’s rich rural heritage. At this unique museum, three experiences are essential: milking a cow, spinning wool, and sampling traditional foods — the most popular activities during a visit. Guests can admire charming countryside cottages, tour the home of the Ross family, which dates back to 1817, stroll along the quaint, winding village paths to enjoy scenic views, experience the warm hospitality, interact with playful farm animals, and even take part in the joy of hands-on farming.

One of the most exciting aspects for visitors is watching local artisans demonstrate candle-making, woodworking, barrel-coopering, hoof-trimming for cattle, and more, as well as seeing how traditional meals are prepared.
