Wolfville and Grand Pré have long been two of Nova Scotia’s most picturesque and historically rich towns. The growth of the Nova Scotia wine industry, centered on these two towns, has cemented the region as a top tourist destination.
This book, updated for 2025, brings readers through the history of the region from the founding of Grand Pré to today. Archival and contemporary photography showcases the beauty of these towns and their stunning natural surroundings.
