Cossit House Museum

It was an accurate display of life hundreds of years ago. The artifacts and house show quite explicitly the lifestyles then. It was both interesting and worthy of the visit.

A beautifully preserved eighteenth century house, one of the oldest in North America. Set out very well, and kitchen garden was very interesting.

Wonderful Nova Scotia Museum in historic home built by Loyalist Rev'd Ranna Cossitt, first Anglican minister of Sydney.

We had a great visit! We had an option between a guided tour or self guided, and we opted for the guided experience, which was thorough yet brief enough not to be long winded. Afterwards we had the opportunity to poke around by ourselves and check out the lovely garden out back. A great way to spend $5 and 90 minutes.

Very informative and interesting museum. Helpful staff.

Cool family story, good interpreters and well restored!

$2 per person and you get choice of guided or self guided with a sheet of paper describing each room. Two women in period costume are there to guide you if you like. Interesting little house that highlights what was considered normal back then. The poor woman of the house had 13 children and died in childbirth at the age of 46!!! It's great they could preserve some of the old tools, books, clothing, etc and you get a sense of life back then. Short walk over after visiting the giant fiddle.

Wonderful experience, the ladies are dressed in period costumes and provided a wealth of understanding of life as it was when the city was colonized- thanks for a beautiful experience
