Introducing Sherbrooke

The pleasant little town of Sherbrooke, 123km west of Canso and 63km south of Antigonish, is overshadowed by its historic site, which is about the same size.

The local tourist office is at Sherbrooke Village (902-522-2400; Hwy 7; adult/child/family $9/3.75/25; 9:30am-5:30pm Jun–mid-Oct), which re-creates everyday life from 125 years ago through buildings, demonstrations and costumed workers. There are 25 buildings to visit in this living museum that effectively helps its visitors step back in time.

On a quiet farm, Days Ago B&B (902-522-2811, 866-522-2811; www.bbcanada.com/daysago; 15 Cameron Rd; s/d incl breakfast $60/70, chalet $75-85; ) will lull you with its slower pace. There’s a sunporch for sitting on, or you can take out a kayak. Rooms in the house are shared while the loft style chalet has its own bathroom.
