Sinclair Inn

Sinclair Inn is a Georgian-style museum in Annapolis Royal featuring an original wooden structure with detailed interior design and decorative elements. The building clearly shows how construction techniques and design choices evolved over several centuries.

The building was constructed in the early 1700s and is Canada's oldest surviving Acadian structure. Later it served as the home of Canada's first Masonic Lodge.

The house demonstrates how people lived here over centuries through period furnishings and architectural choices. Walking through the rooms shows how daily routines and living spaces evolved across different eras.

The museum is located on St George Street and operates during seasonal months with guided tours available. The guided experiences help visitors understand the building techniques and structural features throughout the house.

The walls reveal multiple construction layers that show how building methods changed from the 1700s through the 1800s. These different building phases are visible when viewing the exposed wall sections throughout the rooms.
