Prescott House Museum
Prescott House Museum, Georgian house museum in Starr's Point, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The Prescott House Museum contains period furnishings, antique collections, and tribal Oriental carpets within a restored Georgian architectural structure.
Charles Ramage Prescott constructed this estate between 1812 and 1816, establishing it as a center for agricultural experiments and apple variety development.
The museum exhibits family portraits, hand-stitched samplers, and original decorative elements that represent Nova Scotia's domestic life during the 1800s.
Located on Starr's Point Road off Highway 101 Exit 11, the museum welcomes visitors from June through October with guided tours from Wednesday to Sunday.
Mary Allison Prescott, the great-granddaughter of the original owner, saved the building from deterioration in 1931 and restored it with her sisters.
