The family farm was once a stable industry here in the Valley. For the families involved, it was more than a business; it was a way of life. However, in just one or two generations it has almost disappeared.

The Northville Farm Heritage Centre will be a memorial to those family farms, and will feature a lasting display of their tools and implements, as well as their farming methods.

This farm museum is located in the midst of the best agricultural land in Nova Scotia. It has been continuously under development by a dedicated group of volunteers with farming blood in their veins.
