Welcome to the Highland Village, a living history museum and cultural centre that celebrates the Gaelic experience in Nova Scotia.

We are so looking forward to our opening on June 1. To celebrate we are holding our special Carding Mill Day that day to coincide with our opening. This is a very special opportunity to see firsthand how the early settlers processed the wool so necessary for survival. More about that as we get closer.

Come home to the Highland Village this summer and walk in the shoes of your ancestors.

Experience Nova Scotia's Gaelic culture, heritage and hospitality at this living history museum and folk-like centre in scenic Iona, located in the heart of Cape Breton and overlooking the magnificient Barramens Strait on the Bras d'Or Lakes.

The Nova Scotia Highland Village Society is pleased to announce the launch of An Drochaid Eadarainn (The Bridge Between Us), a culture and heritage website.

The site aims to serve as an interactive portal emulating the social transmission of Gaelic language and culture through technology.
