O'Dell House Museum

The O'Dell House Museum, located in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, is a fascinating house-museum showcasing a rich collection of 19th-century artefacts that reflect the history of the area. Built in 1869 by Corey O'Dell, a rider for the Nova Scotia Pony Express, this Victorian house in Greek Revival style has served various purposes over the years, including a residence and hotel. Today, it houses the Annapolis Heritage Society's Genealogy Centre, offering extensive research resources on local families, particularly those of Acadian heritage. Open seasonally and operating on a donation basis, the museum is a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in the cultural heritage of Annapolis Royal.
