Prescott House Museum


This museum is housed in what is considered to be one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in Nova Scotia: the former home of the horticulturalist who introduced many of the apple varieties grown in the Annapolis Valley. The museum is about a 9km drive from Wolfville via Port Williams.
