Weymouth, Nova Scotia
Since the settlement of United Empire Loyalists in 1783, Weymouth
has been culturally and geographically diverse. The rolling country
roads will take you along the Sissiboo River and through woodland
where lumberjacks and shipwrights thrived in the 1800s. The Village
of Weymouth celebrates life in a gentler time, the great outdoors
and our cultural roots. See the Sissiboo Landing Video Tour!
