Ottawa House is a lovely museum run by volunteers. Admission is by donation. The first floor has a great display that showcases the history of the house and area. Upstairs the rooms are filled with historic pieces and artifacts. We were welcomed by one of the long-time volunteers - Ed Gilbert - who gave us a personal tour. Ed has helped restore the house and made our visit with his stories about the history of Ottawa House, the previous owners and Parrsboro. He brought the history to life and was such a pleasure to meet. Hats off to Ed and the volunteers who keep this museum open.

We read the reviews before heading out and were a bit apprehensive to do the hike. We have children 7 & 10 and they easily manage the trail. There is a large incline of 100 metres right out of the gate which will get your heart pumping but that is really the only ‘challenge’. We had no issues with bugs or ticks but stayed on the trail. The views are really Beautiful. We did walk around the northeast side of the island and the kids found some great quartz to add to their collection.

I admit it. I love dinosaurs and always have. I've dragged my poor husband to numerous sites in the US as well as the wonderful Tyrrell museum. So of course we had to visit this museum. We saw the molded sculptures of Canada's earliest dinosaurs, fossils, and the trackway of the world's smallest dinosaur. There are many displays and exhibits even of the gems and minerals of the area. My husband liked the time machine that showed how the look of the earth has changed with continental drift. Don't make the same mistake we made--we did not plan to visit at low tide so couldn't go for the beach walk to see what the tide exposed in the cliffs. Next time. We did see the cliffs at Joggins though. There is also a gift shop and clean restrooms. Enjoy.
