Sherbrooke
Sherbrooke Village, an open-air museum depicting life in the gold-rush era of the late 1800s, is the main draw in this modest Nova Scotia community on the St. Mary's River. Gold was discovered nearby in 1861, and the rush that followed shaped the settlement for two decades. The village also holds several historic churches for its size, and the surrounding Guysborough County terrain offers river and mountain access.
