Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum

About

Nestled in the suburban community of Cole Harbour, the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum is a lone reminder of how the area looked only 40 years ago.

Story

The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum, "the farm", is an original Cole Harbour farm, cultivated continuously for over 200 years. It began public programming in 1978 with one week of farm anima exhibits and heritage demonstrations. In the decades since, the Farm has grown to encompass eight exhibit buildings representing the evolution of agricultural life and opens its doors seven days a week from May 15 to October 15 every year. From May to October every year there are a variety of animals on site usually including sheep, lambs, chickens, and chicks, goats, and kids, ducklings, and calves.

During hours of operation feel free to come and visit the farm and the animals, admission is by donation or book a group tour! (Contact the farm for booking information)

Open from May 15 to October 15: Hours of operation are 10:00am-4:00pm Monday-Saturday and 12:00-4:00pm Sunday & Holidays

What an amazing hidden gem. You literally feel like you are transported back in time when you step foot onto the property. Complete with a working farm and the original barns - yet get an idea of how farm life operated. All the original buildings are intact and each building has small exhibits. There is also a great little restaurant & tea house with a small gift shop.

Such a cute hidden gem in the heart of Cole Harbour. The kids loved seeing the animals and old toys. We will return again.
