Musquodoboit Harbour Railway Museum

Nova Scotia


This wonderful little railway museum, loved by train buffs and kids alike, looks a little incongruous in its surroundings: it's hard to believe there was once a passenger service through here. Housed in the 1918 station, the museum has train memorabilia inside and rolling stock outside. There are also some picnic tables on the grounds.
