Located at 37 Bridge St., the building turned 120 years old in January. The museum is now open for the season and a birthday party is being held April 20 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. It’s a chance for members of the public to celebrate with cake, refreshments, and to view exhibits.
In 1980, the recently formed KHS took over the building and began operating it as a museum. This followed the construction of a new municipal complex and courthouse . “We’ve been left with a wonderful system of vaults in the basement,” Lewis said. “They’re packed to the brim with everything you could imagine.”
The museum started off as “The Old Kings Courthouse Heritage Museum” before the name was shortened to the “Old Kings Courthouse Museum.” It eventually became known by its current name, the “Kings County Museum.” Stokesbury said the KHS and the museum work well in collaboration with other organizations, including smaller historical societies. They have always enjoyed great support from volunteers; the provincial government, County of Kings, and Town of Kentville.
