The village of Lunenburg

Lunenburg is a 250 year old fishing village. Quaint homes, shops, historic churches and unique streetscapes can be found on every street. In 1995 UNESCO named Lunenburg a World Historic Site. It is the home port of the tall ships, Bluenose II and Picton Castle. The Fisheries Museum of The Atlantic, home of the largest saltwater aquarium in Eastern Canada, and the Lunenburg Academy are “must see” destinations. The distinctive grid system street plan is characteristic of all British colonial settlements. The blacksmith and dory shop that first opened in 1895 is still building dories!
