Yarmouth County Museum & Archives

Yarmouth County Museum & Archives, Regional history museum in Yarmouth, Canada.

Yarmouth County Museum & Archives occupies a former granite church building dating from 1892 and presents collections about the region's history. The building features two historic houses with different exhibition spaces and an archival research center housed in an extension called the Abram Little House.

The Yarmouth County Historical Society was created in 1935 and formed the museum in 1958. It moved to its current home in 1969, the former Tabernacle Congregational Church, an 1892 granite building listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. A 2000 expansion added two adjacent historic homes, including the Abram Little House.

The museum's name comes from the county historical society founded in 1935, which opened the collection to the public in 1958. A circular metal plaque made by the Canadian Bank of Commerce honours bank employees who served in the First World War; it was found in the Home Life Building, once the Yarmouth branch of the Bank of Commerce. The disputed Yarmouth Runic Stone, one of the best-known items in local history, is also kept here.

The museum occupies a former 1892 granite church in Yarmouth's heritage residential district, with two adjacent historic houses added in 2000 and the Pelton-Fuller house on the grounds. The climate-controlled storage and conservation wing serves the archives, not visitors, so plan your visit around the exhibition spaces in the church and houses. A separate summer display runs at the restored Killam Brothers Shipping Office on the waterfront.

The collection includes the original Fresnel lens from Cape Forchu Lighthouse, a technical marvel of maritime navigation. Historic stagecoaches that once traveled between Yarmouth and Tusket are also displayed on the grounds.
