Dartmouth Heritage Museum in Dartmouth

This is a wonderful place to recall the classical Nova Scotian custom ! Its fun to feel the renovation & appreal styles in the old Halifax during the Victorian time. In addition, there are some fine antique badges and hand-made fragrant candles for sale in the gift store room. Overall, I had a good time here to know about the history in Halifax region.

Beautiful museum with free guided experience

This is an amazing visit learning more about the history of Helen and Dartmouth!!

Lovely museum. Cost to view is by donation which was a pleasant surprise. Was happy to contribute. Lots of history and stories of folklore and song.

We went for a kid’s tour and I was amazed at the great job they did! My 7yo had a blast. She got all her questions answered with a smile and lots of patience, she got to try on some fancy dresses, and she learned a lot of cool facts. They even had an activity planned for the kids that ended up lasting like an hour because the kids just loved it and wanted to keep playing! And they were happy to keep playing with the kids! I highly recommend it! Very interesting for adults too! Thanks again to the staff for the great time!

Great

I strongly believe this museum should get promoted in Media. It is one-of-a-kind and yet, you may easily miss it even though you live in the neighbourhood for a long time.

The name is a little misleading. Its a tribute to the work of Hellen Creighton plus some Dartmouth history. It has a delightful gift shop. I had my picture taken with a dummy of Joseph Howe. It was a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. I would like to go back and enjoy the garden when the weather is nice.

Awesome, well informed staff. Very interesting museum.

Was on an an adventure Lab..and found a beautiful little garden.

Awesome place to visit . I was thrilled by what they have done with the mirror. You should see it on your own . I don’t want to spoil your excitement. Please visit this place n experience the mirror.

it was ok. enjoyed it

Thank you Michelle for the wonderful tour! Definitely worth the visit if you are in Halifax!

Always a fun trip :)

Fun spot to take in some of Dartmouths history with a friendly staff and lovely interior definitely a place to check out

Museum not yet open to public

A great place to go back in time, a must to visit

An amazing museum to visit that also does a lot of great work behind the scenes! The staff is incredibly knowledgable and wonderful to chat with while youre visiting. The building itself is beautiful and the exhibits are very interesting. I love this place!

The house has alot of history. Never knew it played a part in the Halifax Explosion. Interesting to see where Helen wrote her stories and her old tape recorder. The backyard is very large and you see some of the Harbour from here.

Ive only been in the backyard, but its fantastic.

Great

This is a living museum. Learn about the original James family, Dr. Helen Creighton and her family. Her connection to Nova Scotia folklore, a history of photography and an awesome Halifax Explosion exhibit. Run dont walk to the Evergreen house!

Amazing historical pictures, artifacts of old Dartmouth. A must see!

Unique, local museum in a heritage home, overlooking historic Halifax Harbour.

Visited the museum with my family on Thursday and we really enjoyed the experience. The staff is friendly, the historical building is well preserved, the artifacts are interesting, and learning about Dartmouth’s history (including some of it most generous leaderswas a great experience! Consider checking it out - it’s worth it.
