The Weymouth area is a picturesque community sitting on the wooded banks of the Sissiboo River, which empties into beautiful St. Mary’s Bay.

Founded by United Empire Loyalists from the Eastern United States in 1783, it offers fascinating heritage, scenic vistas, and the best free-flowing spring water in Nova Scotia.

Walk the Storybook Trail with signage sharing vignettes of our founding cultures; visit Sissiboo Landing with its cultural displays and gift shop; drop by the Electric City Interactive Interpretive Centre to hear the enthralling story of the settlement of La Nouvelle France, 1893-1920, one of Canada’s original multicultural communities.

In the immediate area, visit our historic power dam; have a swim in one of our lakes. Have a picnic at near-by Savory Park and explore the historic Provincial Heritage Site, Gilbert’s Cove Lighthouse.
