The Shelburne Historical Society is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the rich and continually evolving heritage of Shelburne County. We operate and sustain the Shelburne Museum Complex to serve the local community, our province and visitors from around the world. We work to promote an interest in our past, facilitate research, and provide programs that stimulate interest, satisfy curiosity and encourage public participation. We are an integral part of our community and a focal point and gathering place where we celebrate our heritage and special community events.
We play an important role in the economic, cultural and social life of our community, working with business, cultural and tourism groups to promote our area and establish our complex as a vibrant local attraction.

Educational resources: Pansies, Sweet Peas, Lighthouse - Halifax Harbour, Military History - Trench Art
