Welcome to the Age of Sail Heritage Museum Overlooking the tidal Greville River, the center pays tribute to the heritage of the communities along the Minas Channel. Through pictures, videos, story telling, models, artifacts and hands-on exhibits, the museum brings to life the history of shipbuilding, lumbering and local community lives. The area boosts a rich history from the time of the dinosaurs to the Mi'kmaq and Acadians to loyalists and shipbuilders to the present day. The heritage center hosts a museum in an 1854 church, local blacksmith shop from the Wagstaff and Hatfield shipyard, as well as the Port Greville Lighthouse circa 1908 and a boathouse. Local genealogy and research material is also available. Stay tuned to the many new expansions currently planned. |

The Age of Sail Heritage Center is constantly evolving with new exhibits, new archives, new artifacts and new buildings being added to the complex. Phase One of our addition was started thanks to funding from ACOA and the Municipality of Cumberland county. Level one will be open and functional this spring! Applications will be submitted for funding for Phase 2. A founders tree will be a part of the project. Sponsers may purchase leaves as a contribution to the project. For more information email us or call. |
We at the Greville Bay Shipbuilding Museum Society have a trusted partnership with We-Care.com. Your purchase through the site helps the Greville Bay Shipbuilding Museum Society preserve the history of the shipbuilding and lumbering communities along the Parrsboro Shore. |
We are always interested in donations of pertinent new artifacts and archives. Any information relating to the lives of the shipbuilding, lumbering or seafaring families of the Parrsboro Shore is of interest to us; diaries, photos, journals, ledgers and household accounts etc. would be welcome additions to our growing collection, whether originals or copies. |
