Ross Farm Museum

Join Christy Ann Conlin for a reading from her new novel, 'The Memento', a literary ghost story, published by Doubleday/Penguin Random House. Christy Ann will share her love of ghost stories, discuss the haunted embroidery in the novel, and how growing up in rural Nova Scotia and participating in 4-H shaped her literary career.

Visit Ross Farm on Saturday, July 9th and Sunday, July 10th, and chat with our interpreters as they demonstrate the beautiful art of both needle and shuttle tatting.

On Sunday, join the staff for tea & cake in the Rose Bank Cottage. Father's get free admission on this day.

Join Polly on June 18th for a conversation about the antique quilts displayed in the Learning Centre this summer, how and why they were produced, and what we can learn about the people and the time period from these textiles.

What better way to celebrate the start of summer than to join the annual pumpkin planting days at Ross Farm Museum? Bring the children and let them plant a pumpkin seed, then they can return in the fall and harvest their pumpkin.

This weekend there will be demonstrations in sheep shearing, natural dying, and spinning wool. Learn about the importance of sheep to early settlers and about the work involved to produce yarn and how woolen yarn was used to make material for clothing necessary for the cold winter days.
