Description & Services

Information Built in 1896 the Tinsmith Museum is a step back into history of the business and residence of Watson Smith. Watson Smith & Son's Tinsmith Shop and Hardware Store Museum is located in Shubenacadie in the Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley region. In the early 1890's the property served as a milk can fabrication facility and hardware store. The museum features a tin shop (c1896), hardware store museum (c 1905 - 1990), as well as a military display in honour of the veterans who served our country. The museum houses a milk can production display; furnished rooms and clothing from 100 years ago; household goods and farm tools. A gift shop with 100% locally made crafts is on site, and parking is available. Bus tours are welcome.
