Maitland, Nova Scotia, CANADA
In 1995, the historic town of Maitland and surrounding areas was declared Nova Scotia's first Heritage Conservation District, in an effort to protect and promote the unique history & culture of the area.
Today, visitors and residents alike enjoy a naturally beautiful part of the world, offering many attractions for family fun amid stunning scenery, as well as a burgeoning cultural community.
Local industry includes farming, fishing, arts & crafts, and of course tourism. Entrepreneurship is alive and thriving here and you'll be welcomed to various private art studios as well as the Gallery 215, small shops and restaurants. Thrill-seekers will enjoy river rafting on the surging sea tides as they roll up the mouth of the Shubenacadie river. Nature lovers will find many walking trails and shoreline paths, famous for bird watching opportunities. Accommodations range from elegant B&B's to wilderness campgrounds.
Eco-tourists will appreciate our interpretive boards at sites like our Ducks Unlimited pondsand the Fundy Tidal Interpetive Centre. And always in the background, the shoreline, the cliffs, and the ever present action of the world's most powerful tides.
We invite you to visit us on-line and tour our web site to learn more about our Heritage Conservation District - we are proud of all that we have to offer here, from festivals to farms, from history to fine accommodations.
