(July 1, 2022, 11:04 pm)A thoughtful exhibit packed with both informative displays and lots of space to contemplate the challenges of Black Loyalists arriving in Nova Scotia with none of the promised support. There are 55 Black Nova Scotian thriving communities, and if you know nothing about Birchtown history, or the history of Black Nova Scotians in general, this is an excellent starting place. It has deep cultural significance and is more than a museum; it honors the hardships, perseverance and resilience of Black Nova Scotians.
