Constructed between 1809 and 1812 Randall House Museum serves as a testament to the history of Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Randall House Museum aims to tell the exciting (and sometimes spooky) stories of Wolfville's past and present. We are a small museum with a big story to tell! We are now closed for the season. We can't wait for you to join us when we reopen in 2021.

The Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum was founded in the 1986 by our curator, C.W.O Ray Coulson. As a retired NCO who served in the reserves for many years, Ray has a passion for and a drive to preserve the history of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders, also known as the North Novies. He has been running this museum with a couple volunteers here and there for 35+ years, all on his own time. The museum is home to artifacts from the First and Second World Wars, as well as various military uniforms and collectibles from all over the world. Here at the museum, we will also do our best to assist anyone who is attempting to do research on a North Novie (or a member of the 85th battalion, or any veteran really!). We are a non-profit, and run solely on donations. (Admission: Donation)
