Northville Farm Heritage Centre is located in the midst of the best agricultural land in Nova Scotia. A dedicated group of volunteers with farming blood in their veins have been erecting buildings one at a time, beginning with Heritage Hall.
Our functioning windmill used to supply water to Hayes Mill at Coldbrook.
The sawmill and shingle mill are often demonstrated at our special events. The Bentley Barn, Carriage House and Sawler Building are filled with antiques.
The Cookhouse supplies drinks and hot food whenever a crowd gathers here.
Carmen Legge is the blacksmith there and says:
When people come to the Heritage Centre they will see household displays in the main hall, tools, woodworking and more household displays in the Bentley Barn, transportation displays in the Carriage House, agriculture displays in the Sawler Biulding, a working windmill, sawmill, vintage outdoor equipment, functioning blacksmith shop, cooperage, canteen, and much more, especially, enthusiastic volunteers. We pride ourselves on being interactive. You can touch the fabric, ring the bells, smell the smoke, crank the handle, and more!
Our Visit
When we went, they were doing the spring planting and we watched them plough the fields using oxen and horses, and heritage farm implements.
Daniel and his cousin Luke made a great YouTube video about their time at the farm.
Entrance to the NFHC is by donation. All money goes towards the upkeep of the farm and the museum, as do the proceeds from the canteen, so please be as generous as you can.
Besides the cookhouse, there is also a small playground for kids.
Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash.
If you are looking for a fun half-day activity, check out one of the special events at the Northville Heritage Farm and learn about how life was back in the Valley a hundred years ago!

MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN is based on the incredible true story and memoir of Christy Beam: Miracles from Heaven: A Little Girl, Her Journey to Heaven, and Her Amazing Story of Healing.
When Christy (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter’s healing, as she searches for a solution. After Anna has a freak accident, an extraordinary miracle unfolds in the wake of her dramatic rescue that leaves medical specialists mystified, her family restored, and their community inspired.
This movie is brought to you by the producers who brought you Heaven is For Real.
Dr. Nurko (EUGENIO DERBEZ) hands his Elmo tie to Christy (JENNIFER GARNER) as a memento now that Anna seems to be healed in Columbia Pictures’ MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN.
What the Movie is REALLY about
This movie is all about miracles.It’s about taking the time to realize that miracles are everywhere if you just take the time to notice them.
Miracles are about goodness. They are about people passing through our lives; friends who are there no matter what.
It is about knowing you are not alone.
Miracles are love and God is forgiveness. Miracles are God’s way of letting us know He is here.
Overall, this is a great feel-good, inspirational film to watch with the whole family with universal themes of hope, family, charity, never giving up hope, family values and everyday kindness.
Christy (JENNIFER GARNER), Kevin (MARTIN HENDERSON), Abbie (BRIGHTON SHARBINO), Anna (KYLIE ROGERS) and Adelynn (COURTNEY FANSLER) are one big happy family in Columbia Pictures’ MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN.
What We Thought about the Movie
Although this movie definitely has a Christian theme, it is still appealing to non-believers. There are strong parenting themes, and the extremes a parent will go to if you have a sick child.
When watching the movie, I was worried that the moral of the movie would be that God answers prayer. This leads to the question of why does God answer some people’s prayers and not others? Since I wasn’t sure how this miracle would be explained, I found myself on edge while watching it. However, I was very satisfied in the theology by the end of the film, where we still don’t know why random things happen, and that some things are hard to explain.
Christy (JENNIFER GARNER) and Kevin (MARTIN HENDERSON) talk in the field about their family in Columbia Pictures’ MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN.
The important thing is to watch for the miracles along the way, not just wait for the big ones.
Now that I know the movie has a satisfactory ending, in my mind, I would like to watch it again and really enjoy the journey.
Miracles from Heaven is available on Blu-Ray and DVD July 12th!
This post was brought to you by Sony Pictures but the opinions are my own.
