Smith's Cove Historical Society

June to end of August open to the public for Genealogy and visitor information. We are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the Temperance Hall museum the Methodist Church (Circa 1885) and the Bear River Lighthouse (all three are designated Heritage Properties). Every summer we have one summer student as our museum guide. They are responsible for greeting visitors answer questions if applicable or point them in the right direction to someone who can or where they may find the information. They also update our Facebook page and monitor our website. In conjunction with the Municipality of Digby we are in year 4 of our 5 year project to restore the Bear River Lighthouse and its surrounding Park. We also completed renovations to the exterior of the Methodist Church. In 2024 we are planning to add electrical services to the Methodist Church and continue on going maintenance for our 3 properties.
