Randall House Wolfville Nova Scotia

With the weather nice and warm yesterday, grandson and I went to Wolfville to visit Randall House. 

It is our first museum of the year and our smallest one we have visited. The house was built between 1805 - 1812 and is undergoing some renovations. 
When we entered this lovely Georgian style farmhouse, the hall runs towards the back of the house with rooms off each side. On the right side is the living room/parlor which houses a lovely collection of quilts. 

Stepping back into the hall you see a lovely clock beside the entry to the dining area. 

The dining area is set up for tea and we admired the items in there. 

 A small hallway leads from the dining room to the kitchen. In the hallway was a unit holding some Micmaq baskets.

(I have two baskets that have the curls on them). Below was quill work which I forgot to get pictures of. 
The kitchen has a huge fireplace to cook in. 

And a bread oven. 

There were old wooden utensils and pottery. 

In the back porch we saw a bike, the second one we've seen in our discoveries. 

There was an area dedicated to the Acadians who resided in the area. Nearby Grande Pre is a world historical site as it shows the dykes they built and how they laid out the land in long narrow strips. 

Highway 1 is called the Evangeline Highway and is a tribute to the Acadians. 

Next we headed upstairs. 

There was a bedroom on display which was interesting. 

Another room had a model of the town as it looked years ago. In the corner was a rocking chair that caught my eye. 

The hallway was dedicated to Mona Parsons. 

She was the only woman to be prisoned by the Germans during the war. 

She was born in Middleton and passed away in Wolfville. She married and lived in Holland. She and her husband helped get soldiers out of Holland during the war and ended up in a prison. She escaped and came back to live in Wolfville. 

And a statue to commemorate her. 

We enjoyed the museum very much and grandson is doing a video of our trip. 
We are planning our next outing already.
