17. Cole Harbour Heritage Farm
Cole Harbour Heritage Farm is a must-see if you want to learn about Halifax's rural past. Visitors to this living history farm can see what life was like in a 19th-century farming town and learn about the area's history and culture. There are many historic buildings on the farm, such as a farmhouse, a barn, and a blacksmith shop. There are also cows, pigs, and chickens.
During some events, visitors can do things like churn butter, plant a garden, or try their hand at blacksmithing. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful countryside and explore the property's nature trails. The farm is only open during certain times of the year. Throughout the year, there are guided tours and special events.
