What an amazing site! I am always looking for "local flavour" places wherever I go, and wow did I find one! I have fallen in love with Nova Scotia, and I leaned so much about its history here. Who knew that little Pictou was such a hotbed of political discussion and educational reform? Dr. Thomas McCulloch, the man this museum honors, was a pillar of Nova Scotia's educational system and the staff at the museum bring him alive. I could listen to the museum staff talk about him forever. Deeply knowledgeable and personable.
