North Hills Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exterior of this tiny farmhouse, built in the 1760s, looks like a typical country residence, but inside it features a collection of great art and furnishings that create an impression of Georgian grandeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Patterson purchased North Hills in 1964 and transformed it into a showcase for his outstanding collection of antiques. They included English china, oak, mahogany, and walnut furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patterson became a popular and valued member of the community through his efforts to form a local restoration group, and he was an early member of the Nova Scotia Heritage Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
