As August comes to an end, the Charlotte County Gaol closes its doors on another season of drop-in tours. Our thanks to summer staff Marie and Tristan for providing so many meaningful experiences to visitors from across Canada and the world!

The Archives will still be open by appointment for research and other matters--simply contact us in advance.

On Tuesday, August 11, at 4 pm, we’ll be presenting author Jeff Ward reading from his book Early Light: Photography’s First Century in Atlantic Canada 1839 – 1939. If you’re drawn to the history of photography—like our archivist Anna and Board Chair Joan—you’ll want to be there! Note that this event will be held at Sunbury Shores, 139 Water St., St. Andrews.

Take a journey through Charlotte County's past!

Pick up your package of reproduced historic postcards at the Charlotte County Archives, then explore the locations and compare yesterday with today.

A suggested donation of $5 supports the Charlotte County Archives and helps preserve our local heritage.

Share a selfie from one of the postcard locations and help capture today's history for tomorrow!

Please note that the Archives will be closed from May 16 to May 26, to give our lone staff member a much-needed break.

We will re-open for visits by appointment on May 27, and hope to be open for drop-in gaol visits by mid-June.

Inspired by this month’s theme , we’re sharing pages from a sample book of tweeds made by Charlotte County Cottage Craft, ca. 1930s-1940s. Employing local women and traditional skills, Cottage Craft turned inspiration from the region’s natural colours into yarns, fabrics, clothing and accessories.
