The Location of The Church Brewing Company is rich in history and has been a place for the people of Wolfville– formerly known as Mud Creek–to congregate. The Church was originally built prior to 1840, as a Presbyterian Church, and located on Prospect Street. The structure was wooden and relocated in 1885 to its current location on Main Street. Unfortunately it succumbed to fire in 1913.
The Church was rebuilt with stones from White Rock; red stones were used on the outer walls while Wallace stone was used to shape the windows and door arches. With help from Nova Scotia’s beloved architect, Andrew Cobb, and contractor, Charles Wright, the stone church was rebuilt. The cornerstone of the St Andrew’s Presbyterian church was laid on July 8th, 1914.
The congregation saw considerable growth in 1923 when the Presbyterian churches of Wolfville and Grand Pre, the Methodist Churches of Wolfville and Greenwich united to form one congregation; the United Church of St. Andrews. Today the church is known predominantly as ‘the stone church’ in Wolfville or St. Andrew’s United.
The Church was purchased by the Church Brewing Company in September 2017. The owners and co-founders began working with local project managers, designers, architects, and contractors, with great support from the Town of Wolfville. The restoration project included re-designing the church into a year-round restaurant and retail store, and the new construction of the attached microbrewery. The brewery, now completed, includes a 4-vessel 35 hectolitre brewing system and a separate 2-vessel 5 hectolitre pilot system. The restaurant opened its doors on January 30th, 2019 and initiated the first brew on July 4th, 2019. No detail has been overlooked in the restoration, and we invite you to come in and feel the warmth and beauty yourself. Come and congregate with us.

Hall's Harbour is a picturesque fishing community located along the shore of the Bay of Fundy, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It lends its name both to the small fishing hamlet and to the wider community which takes up an area roughly 5 kilometers square. On the south, the area overlooks the Annapolis Valley, on the north overlooks the Bay of Fundy, on the east Sheffield Vault and on the west Chipman Brook. The area is very scenic and the hamlet itself has been declared a Nova Scotia Tourism Destination Area. The Harbour boasts a fine restaurant and lobster pound, artists studios, antiques and artisans galleries.
The village is reputedly named after Samuel Hall, an American privateer in the American Revolution. Hall used the cove to raid settlements in the Annapolis Valley but was forced to flee and abandon his ship in the harbour by pursuing militia in 1779. Hall's Harbour was first settled in 1826 with the first wharf built in 1836. In later years, legend held that Hall left treasure behind, attracting treasure hunters who have left abandoned pits deep in the woods surrounding the harbour. A notable early resident was Ransford D. Bucknam (Jun 7, 1869 - May 27, 1915), a local mariner whose 19th century career took him all over the world, including a post as an admiral in the Turkish Navy where he was known as Bucknam Pasha.

The Research Station, also known as Building 5 and the Main Barn, is built into the sloping terrain at the Kentville Research Station. It is a large, timber-frame structure, with a metal, gabled roof and shed-roofed additions on each side. The building is distinguished by its red-painted clapboard exterior and small windows and white trim. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Historical Value
The Research Station is closely associated with Canada’s Experimental Farm system, which began in 1886 as a response to the country’s expanding agricultural needs. The Research Station, originally a dairy barn, is an example of early efforts by the federal government to promote and assist agriculture in Canada. The Kentville Research Station is directly linked to the economic heart of the Annapolis Valley and has had a positive impact on the apple growing industry.
Architectural Value
The Research Station is a good example of a bank barn as evidenced in its proportions, fenestration, materials, framing and construction. It exhibits the typical vertical orientation of the bank barn design with a gabled roof and two shed-roofed additions. It is also a good example of functional design as its active service has shifted focus from husbandry to horticulture.
Environmental Value
The Research Station reinforces the present character of the agricultural farm setting at the Kentville Research Station. It is a familiar and regional landmark.

Kingsport, one of Nova Scotia’s attractive seaside communities, is located in Kings County, a few miles east of Canning, in one of the province’s older settled parts. It is northeast of the mouth of the Habitant River, on the west side of Minas Basin. An earlier name was Indian Point, later changed to Oak Point due to the number of oak trees that grew along the bank of the south side of the lower road, leading to the wharf. The name was again changed to Kingsport, as it was the only port in Kings County. Its first permanent residents were of that New England Planner stock which came to the area following the expulsion of the Acadians.
One source of information says that Indian Point is mentioned as the location of Lot 16, second division, (Cornwallis township) granted to Benjamin Newcomb, probably in 1761.
Another source says that Kingsport was founded in 1761 or 1762 by Isaac Bigelow who came from Connecticut along with several other New Englanders. He was given a grant of land by Lord Cornwallis, the land called Oak Point, now Kingsport.
It is difficult, almost impossible; to be sure which statement is accurate. Seemingly, most people accept the second statement, as it is generally understood that the first settlers were of the name Bigelow. Isaac’s son, Ebenezer, born in 1776, is thought to have built the first house in Kingsport.
Shipbuilding was a major industry in the 1800’s. Barquentines slid down the ways of Kingsport shipbuilding yards. The launching of the “Canada” was on of the biggest events in the history of Kingsport. In 1890, when the “Canada” slid into the Minus Basin, people from far and near came to witness the launching. The ladies of the Congregational Church made preparations to provide dinner tea for the many visitors expected to be present on that occasion.

This is a good place to stop when you want to stretch your legs for a few minutes on a road trip on Highway 101 through the Annapolis Valley. It?s a short walk to a massive waterfall of about 50ft located where you wouldn?t expect to find anything scenic. I?ve gone to these falls by going downstream where the stream goes underneath highway 101 but it is more difficult to access that way since you need to downclimb a good height which would not be suitable for children. The better way to access these falls is to head upstream on the left bank of the stream. The forest is dominated by evergreen and there is a small unofficial path all the way to the fall. The whole walk is suitable for children. You will first come to a smaller fall of about 10 feet before a sharp bend will reveal the main fall of about 50 feet or so. I have been to look at these falls in the height of the summer and they are a bit less impressive during low flow.
