The McMaster Mill Historical Park Loop is a 2.6 km lightly trafficked out and back trail located near South Tremont that features a waterfall and is rated as a moderate hike. 

An incredible spot with something for everyone! Ruins of an old mill site, a well developed trail on the west side of the river with park benches and picnic tables, several view points of the rapids and falls, and even some evidence of rock climbing.  The trail on the east side of the river is a wilderness trail with roots and rocks.  To get down to the river is pretty steep, but even if you don't go down, this is well worth the hike.

Port George is a seaside community located in Annapolis County. It is a former port situated on the Bay of Fundy, 11 km north of Middleton, Nova Scotia just across North Mountain.

The original name given to the area by the native Mi'Kmaq was "Goolwagopskooch" meaning "Haunt of the Hooded Seal". Originally settled in 1760, it is thought to have been resettled in 1812 and named for King George III.

Recognizable landmarks on its shorefront are the historic pepperpot lighthouse and the steeple of the old United Baptist church.

In 1856, residents of Margaretsville, which was known then as Margaretville, began petitioning for a lighthouse to mark the local pier.

After Sir Brenton Halliburton offered to provide the needed land at no cost, a formal lighthouse was constructed at Margaretsville in 1859. The lighthouse, a square wooden tower with sloping sides, was built in the common pepper-shaker style and featured a wide black horizontal stripe early on. The black stripe is the only daymark of this colour in all of Nova Scotia. At the time, Margaretsville was an important transportation hub, being connected to Saint John by steamship and to various parts of Nova Scotia by rail.

Step foot onto one of the most hotly contested pieces of land on the entire continent which became Canada’s first administered National Historic Site in 1917: Fort Anne. The land on which Fort Anne now stands is part of the traditional homeland of the Mi’kmaq. In recent centuries, a succession of Scottish, French, and English settlers clashed over this prize on the banks of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis River, often drawing the Mi’kmaq into their conflict. Fort Anne was the site of thirteen attacks, seven change of hands, and the ratification of the Treaty of Boston.

Today, visitors can walk the earthen walls, explore the 1797 Officers' Quarters Museum and soak up thousands of years of Canadian history.

This 1835 frame house, now a Provincial Heritage Property, was the home of Richard James, a merchant of Bridgetown. The museum features changing exhibits of fine arts and local history. Genealogical information on local families available, including extensive local cemetery records and photographic files. Royal Canadian Legion Branch #33 has exhibits on the Boer War and World Wars I and II

In 1991 the Fundy Folk Association was formed as a Society with the objectives of developing the culture of the Annapolis Valley Region and providing employment for local performers. The initial performances took place in the Margaretsville Fire Hall and over time developed into a mix of local and professional performers.  Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity and in 1999 Fundy Folk found a place of its own to host performances.

In its 20-year history, the Evergreen has developed from a local amateur talent event to a professional venue. It is known across Nova Scotia, and further afield, as a surprising jewel in the travelling performance circuit around the Maritimes.
