Clifton Museum Park – Free Admission on Parade Day
Event by Friends of West Hants Pride Society
Clifton Museum Park, formerly Haliburton House Museum, returns the original name to the property and helps address the complex legacy of its former owner. Located in Windsor, Clifton Museum Park is part of the Nova Scotia Museum.
“The Province wants to offer a historical description that honours the stories of all the individuals connected to Clifton,” said Allan MacMaster, Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage. “The shift to Clifton Museum Park retains historical accuracy, without honouring the name of one individual whose treatment of others should not be forgotten.”
The Nova Scotia Museum consulted cultural organizations, local government and visitors before renaming the museum.
