I stayed here once and loved it. Great chef and accomodations. Allow yourself twice the travel time as it looks on the map. One caution: Not handicapped accessable, It's a good hike down to the inn. Make sure you make a reservation. Phone: 902 670 0534Website: www.capedor Other Contact: capedor@hotmail.com

A national historic park and museum, Sherbrooke Village is a living history museum that reflects life from 1869 to the early 19th century in Nova Scotia. There are 25 of the 80 buildings open to the public and there are weekend events, family days, concerts and demonstrations. The village is seasonal from June 1 to October 15 but is open for a special event at Christmas. They have various price ranges. The village is a bit out of the way but well worth a visit, combined with a visit to Cape breton which is very near.
Take Highway 107 from Dartmouth (Opposite side of the harbour from Halifax) to the Number 7 highway. Alternatively, the Trans Canada 104 , taking exit 26 to route 347 and pick up the 7. You can also get onto highway 7 at exit 32 of the 104 at Antigonish. Leave a Comment

 Computer museum and the
Kenback1 by tvor
Vintage computers from teh 70's to mid 80's including the first desktop computer, the Kenbak-1! There were only 40 Kenback's made from 1971 to 73 and sold mainly to schools. There is quite a bit of information on this computer on the museum website, very interesting reading.

This tip is about Sherbrooke village in Nova Scotia. It is a couple of hours away from Halifax. You can't miss it when you drive along the east coast to the north (route 7).
Sherbrooke village is a living museum with restaured buildings. In each building there is someone in period costume that will tell you a bit more about how live was in this little town in the late-1800's. It was quite fun to walk around in this village and take a look in all the old shops, the black-smith, post office, school, etc.
Opening hours:
June 1st - October 15th: daily 9:30 am - 5:30 pm
Admission for 2005-2006
Adult - $9.00
Child - $3.75
Family - $25.00
Senior - $7.25

I highly recommend the bay near Meat Cove in Cape Breton. There are great hikes near there, kyacking, a good oyster farm, a great resort (the Markham) and a wonderful guide who can gear you up with mountain bikes, kyacks, and all else. They are http://www.cabot-trail-outdoors.com/ and are really fantastic - they do winter and summer sports.
The beauty of this northern point is amazing - wild and not like the tame parts of nova scotia. Plus, it's nestled in the large park area at the tip of the Cape, which is less touristy than the other parts. I highly recommend it! Leave a Comment
