Highland Village Museum Tunes up for August

There is going to be another great month of history and music at Highland Village Museum, in Iona, Victoria Co.

Each Tuesday and Thursday, manager of interpretation Jim Watson, along with other Highland Village staff and animators, presents an afternoon céilidh featuring piping, fiddling, singing, step-dancing and storytelling. Visitors are encouraged to join in the singing, tell stories, or sing a song of their own.

The céilidhs offer entertainment for all ages, and are a great way to get a taste of the musical heritage of Nova Scotia. Visitors to the interactive historical site, that covers 43 acres with 11 period buildings, can learn about the province's Scottish settlers, and participate in this important part of Nova Scotia's living Gaelic culture.

Highland Village Museum and gift shop are open daily, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information contact Highland Village.
