Jost Heritage House

Awesome tour. Reccomend it. Great historical content

I never actually went in but I skate by here a lot and it looks cool

I am a local and twice I have taken my children here. We delight in the costumes and stories and how excitedly all the staff tell them. They give you one of a kind information and beyond friendly service. You are allowed to browse upstairs for as long as you want and take pictures. The staff went above friendly and courteous. One lady even hugged my elderly mother, completely making her day!

Wonderful place to experience the history of Northend Sydney N.S. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Go on the walking tour. The Ghost walk at night is lots of fun and screams.

Awesome and had a wonderful time. The man showing us around was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Had a delightful time.

Docent gave a tour of the entire house in character relating many wonderful stories of the house. Lots of decorations, memorabilia and exhibits.

Surprisingly interesting history/narrative of a historical house in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Jost House, 54 Charlotte Street in Sydney, Nova Scotia is a two storey wood framed home located on north Charlotte Street in a residential area with many heritage properties. Built in 1786, during the founding and Loyalist settlement of Sydney, it is one of the oldest residential buildings in the city.What makes this museum such a little gem are the guides. Dressed in period clothes, they share their knowledge and love for the house. An era gone by, but documented through stories, artifacts, trinkets and folklore.The amount of historical and cultural info given is amazing but it was also very enjoyable. This house has been restored but with such fine care to attention. The lower cellar level with the kitchen may be a little challenging for some with the steep steps and low head room. The main floor has some very nice antiques...especially the bed. The upper floor contains paraphernalia collected from the town's people. The most interesting items to peruse.For $3/person, this museum is a great value. The volunteers are Cape Bretoner's and have stories to tell. Sit down and enjoy all they have to share. Oral storytelling is underrated. Enjoy!

For folks who want to see the way people lived centuries ago, you'll hear lots of stories and see the tools they used.

Great insight into the history of Nova Scotia
