Black Loyalist Heritage Centre

One of Canada’s best kept secrets!

The home of the largest free black settlement in the 1780’s where people voted with their feet for freedom. This unique historical site is nestled in beautiful Birchtown Bay on the western shores of Shelburne Harbour, the third largest natural harbour in the world.

It’s a history few in the region know much about. Come and enjoy a guided tour, search for your ancestral roots and learn about these courageous Nova Scotians.

Come and enjoy a guided tour, search for your ancestral roots, and learn about the Black Loyalists inside our interpretive centre.

Outside, explore our two-acre property that includes historic buildings, a walking trail and National monument. Depending on the weather, bring a lunch to enjoy at one of our picnic benches.

There is lots to see and do, so be prepared to spend some time with us.
