Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia - Evangeline Trail

Enter this simple 200-year-old farm house, built in an area steeped in Acadian history, on one of the most historic roads in Canada. Be amazed at the elegant Georgian decor created by antiques collector Robert Patterson, who lived here among his fine collection of 18th-century paintings, furniture and furnishings. Imagine living a comfortable life surrounded by beautiful things, like the dresser filled with New Hall dishes from the 1700s, rare Worcester and Spode china, and superb glass.

This site is a must see for those interested in New England style architecture, Sheraton, Hepplewhite and Chippendale furnishings, very fine English and Chinese export ceramics, Georgian silver, Sheffield plate and pewter, 17th-Century English glass and English portraiture.
