What we do

Mission Statement
The Queens County Historical Society, operating as the Queens County Museum, aims to gather, preserve, and share the history of Queens County. Its mission is to collect, study, and exhibit the stories, artifacts, and traditions of the people, cultures, and natural environment found in this region. The society strives to support research and education about local heritage through accessible and engaging experiences.

Geographic Focus
The organization is centred in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and focuses mainly on Queens County and its communities. All programs, exhibits, and outreach are delivered locally, serving residents and visitors to this region. There is no indication of a national or international reach beyond Queens County.

Program Highlights
Key programs include museum exhibits on local privateering history, an extensive collection of Mi’kmaq artifacts, and hands-on experiences like the replica Privateer Ship. The museum features displays related to early medicine, world wars, and the diaries of Simeon Perkins, which chronicle daily life from the 18th century. Educational activities such as the Tickle Trunk costume area for children and guided tours are also offered. The museum hosts special events like the Perkins Tea on the Lawn and collaborates with heritage sites in the Queens Heritage Complex.
