    Tips

    August 16, 2018

    The Jost Heritage House (1787) was once the home of a prominent merchant and shows life in a wooden house over the course of three centuries. The museum offers exhibits on local marine life, Cape Breton history and a reconstructed pharmacy. A gift shop is on site with small antiques and collectibles as well as a variety of other souvenir items. You can take part in a guided tour that is highly recommended due to the dedication of the museum staff!

      Johann Georg Jost emigrated from Strasbourg to Nova Scotia in the middle of the 18th century. He came here after his marriage in 1774.
