Windsor Attractions
At the confluence of the Avon and Ste Croix rivers lies the little Nova Scotian port of Windsor, on the spot where the Acadian settlement of Piziquid stood in the 18th C.
Today Windsor is important as a port from which wood and building materials, including plaster, are exported.
It also boasts of being the "birthplace of hockey", one of the great Canadian past times.

Haliburton House Museum
The Haliburton House Museum in Windsor is worth a visit. The buildings were constructed in 1833, and the writer and humorist Thomas Chandler Haliburton lived here and wrote his famous "Sam Slick", which tells the story of an American clockmaker who offered his wares to the good people of Nova Scotia.
The most impressive parts of the building are the tastefully furnished entrance hall, the dining room and the living room.
