Our History

The Pictou County area of northeastern Nova Scotia has a significant industrial past. It includes mining of some of the richest coal deposits in the world, establishing the steel industry in Canada, an impressive history of wooden and later steel shipbuilding, and an array of manufacturing enterprises associated with steel, ships, and railroads.
