The lives of a typical rural family, who lived along the eastern shore of Nova Scotia in early 1900s, are portrayed in this small house museum. Ervine Myers, his wife Ethelda, and their 13 daughters were pretty self sufficient with a vegetable garden, chicken coop, and enough land to support a few animals. Ervine fished in the summer, bringing his catch back home to be salted and dried, and worked in a lumber camp in the winter.
The site consists of the little house, a barn, fish house, and outbuildings. Staff in period costumes give a guided tour of the house. Visitors are free to roam the grounds on their own.
The property is not accessible. A steep, grassy hill, lacking a clear path, must be navigated to get to the entrance to the house. The doorways are narrow and the house is small. Accessing the other buildings also requires climbing up or down steep hills.
The parking area is large enough to park and turn around RVs. Museum
