About the Municipality of Chester

From Hubbards to Martins River and inland to New Ross and Sherwood, Our Municipality of Chester is the gateway to the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

For ease of exploring we've broken down our Municipality into five main areas.

Located in Kespukwitk (Lands End) district of Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi'kmaq people. The Municipality acknowledges the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed and recognizes that we are all Treaty People. We acknowledge the responsibility to deeply engage and move forward with the work of truth, reconciliation, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.

New Ross

History & Heritage, Family Fun

Ross Farm Museum is a living history museum. Come experience what farm life was like over 100 years ago.

Much of the farm remains as it was from the 1800s. Chat with the knowledgeable interpreters, stroll the nature trail, enjoy a treat at Rose Bank Cottage, visit the stave mill, cooperage and black smith shop, and meet the animals who live and work on the farm.

The gift shop features many items created on the farm as well as local gifts and treats. Lunch at the Hearth Room Cafe is not to be missed.

Open year-round, you can enjoy pumpkin planting in June and Christmas on the Farm in December, along with many other events and activities.

Wagon rides will not be available this Summer.
