The Northville Farm Heritage Centre was founded in 2000 by a group of individuals dedicated to preserving farming heritage. Their mission focuses on conserving tools, implements, and traditional farming methods from the past. The organization aims to create an interactive experience where visitors can engage with agricultural history firsthand. They offer a space where people can touch historical items, hear traditional sounds, and experience farm life as it once was.

The Northville Farm Heritage Centre is located in Billtown, Nova Scotia, at the foot of North Mountain in the Annapolis Valley region. Their fifteen-acre site sits just four miles from the Bay of Fundy. The Centre is positioned in what is considered some of the best agricultural land in Nova Scotia. Their geographic focus centers primarily on showcasing and preserving the farming heritage specific to the Annapolis Valley area.

Program highlights at the Northville Farm Heritage Centre include various interactive exhibits and special events throughout the year. The Centre features multiple buildings filled with antiques and historical displays. Visitors can explore Heritage Hall, the Bentley Barn, Carriage House, and Sawler Building. They offer demonstrations of their functioning windmill, sawmill, and shingle mill during events. The Centre also includes a blacksmith shop with live demonstrations, a cooper shop, and a Cookhouse that provides refreshments. All events charge $5 admission for adults while children under 12 enter for free.
