Springhill Attractions

From Parrsboro the route heads north for 35km (22mi) to the former mining town of Springhill. Set in the midst of delightful scenery the town is nevertheless the center of what was once a coal mining district, the history of which is recorded in Springhill's mining museum.
Springhill is also the birthplace of Canadian recording artist, Anne Murray.
