Reviews of Dartmouth Heritage Museum (Museum)

Roxanna John

This is a living museum. Learn about the original James family, Dr. Helen Creighton and her family. Her connection to Nova Scotia folklore, a history of photography and an awesome Halifax Explosion exhibit. Run don't walk to the Evergreen house!

Awesome place to visit . I was thrilled by what they have done with the mirror. You should see it on your own . I don’t want to spoil your excitement. Please visit this place n experience the mirror.

I strongly believe this museum should get promoted in Media. It is one-of-a-kind and yet, you may easily miss it even though you live in the neighbourhood for a long time.

An amazing museum to visit that also does a lot of great work behind the scenes! The staff is incredibly knowledgable and wonderful to chat with while you're visiting. The building itself is beautiful and the exhibits are very interesting. I love this place!

The name is a little misleading. It's a tribute to the work of Hellen Creighton plus some Dartmouth history. It has a delightful gift shop. I had my picture taken with a dummy of Joseph Howe. It was a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. I would like to go back and enjoy the garden when the weather is nice.

The house has alot of history. Never knew it played a part in the Halifax Explosion. Interesting to see where Helen wrote her stories and her old tape recorder. The backyard is very large and you see some of the Harbour from here.

Visited the museum with my family on Thursday and we really enjoyed the experience. The staff is friendly, the historical building is well preserved, the artifacts are interesting, and learning about Dartmouth’s history (including some of it most generous leaders) was a great experience! Consider checking it out - it’s worth it.

Unique, local museum in a heritage home, overlooking historic Halifax Harbour.
