Highland Village Museum

The Highland Village Museum is an outdoor living history museum that tells the story of Gaelic settlement in Nova Scotia. We are located on a stunning 43-acre property overlooking the majestic Bras d'Or Lakes in Iona, Nova Scotia, the heart of central Cape Breton.

Our 11 historic buildings are staffed by costumed animators who are passionate  about sharing the Gaelic culture of our ancestors. We also host special events and programs throughout the year.
