THE HANK SNOW COUNTRY MUSIC CENTRE
The HANK SNOW COUNTRY MUSIC CENTRE was showcased more than once on TNN
shows 'Today's Country' and 'This Week in Country Music'. The
Centre features many famous, personal memorabilia of Nova Scotia's "native
son" HANK SNOW (including his 1947 convertible Cadillac) as well as
memorabilia from various Canadian country music stars, including Carroll Baker,
Wilf Carter, Ronnie Prophet, George Hamilton IV, Lucille Starr and others.
The museum contains interactive, educational
displays, telling the history of country music and its instruments, which are a
delight for our younger audiences. You are also invited to watch rare footage on
various video presentations.
The early days of railroads can be enjoyed in our railroad room. And, who knows, by the time you visit us, we may already have an old steam engine, boxcar or dining-car sitting on the Centre's railroad tracks.
The HANK SNOW COUNTRY MUSIC CENTRE is also the home of
the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame and an extensive country music
archives and library.
The museum gift shop offers an extensive selection of rare classical country CDs
and tapes, unique souvenirs, the Hank Snow Centre Video, pictures, books and
instrument supplies.
The centre has washroom facilities, a picnic area, coach and RV parking and is
wheelchair accessible
