Officially opened in 1867, The Halifax Public Gardens have retained much of their original Victorian character thanks to a series of talented superintendents, chief horticulturists, and gardeners. Through their efforts, the Public Gardens were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984. In true Victorian fashion, the Gardens boast ornate fountains, a bandstand, statues, urns and a magnificent wrought iron entrance. Also among their treasures are over 140 different species of trees, including unusual or rare species and some centenarians. Their serpentine, scroll and carpet beds guarantee a bounty of colour and fragrance throughout the season.

The purpose of the Museum is to acquire, conserve, organize, research and interpret to Canadian Forces personnel and to public at large for their study, education and enjoyment, those artifacts and documents which best serve to exemplify the history and technology of Canadian Maritime Military Aviation. As the Museum became known it amassed over 6000 artifacts from across the country from people who had any association with the air base at Dartmouth. This collection includes uniforms, insignia, ceremonial items, tools and equipment, photographs, documents and an extensive art gallery. Unfortunately, because of space limitations only a very small percentage of these artifacts could be displayed. During this period the Museum also acquired 11 derelict or retired aircraft which represented various types of aircraft flown from the Dartmouth/Shearwater base. In 1992 plans were developed to relocate the Museum to Building 13, which was originally a gymnasium in 1941 and later became the Base Exchange (CANEX) in 1975. With the move of CANEX into another location, the building was gutted and totally renovated to provide a facility to display a much greater percentage of the collection.

Bill and Norma Adams are both retired teachers who are, themselves, active world travelers. Your hosts love the outdoors and enjoy meeting new people. They look forward to your visit. Knightswood, the area of Glasgow Scotland where Bill’s father and grandparents lived prior to emmigrating to Canada, was selected as our house name. The name Knightswood came from the area in Scotland where Bill’s father was born. The family emigrated to Canada in 1912; bringing the homestead’s name to Nova Scotia. Spend the early morning listening to the peaceful sounds of a waterfall or watching the koi swim lazily in the pond. This is one of many quiet areas of the garden our visitors can enjoy. Start at the foot bridge and stroll through lush, naturally grown, vegetable and flower gardens - we even grow grapes! At night the grounds are lit for your enjoyment - so make sure to take advantage. There are lots of things perfect for the weary traveller - why not listen to the crickets while enjoying a fire in our outdoor oven or snuggle-up and sip a hot beverage. “To say that we savored our stay at your property is to stress the obvious. The ambiance of the property coupled with the warmth and friendly reception will always be beacon lights that will make us return.” - The Dacany family, Mississauga, Ontario.
