Episode 38: Memory Lane Village - Part One
We're taking a trip out of Downtown Halifax but still within the Halifax Regional Municipality. Our destination is the community of Lake Charlotte in the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia.
Within minutes from Clam Harbour, there resides a recreation of a 1940's-era community called, Memory Lane Village. Maintained by the Lake Charlotte Heritage Society, Memory Lane Village features various buildings that were originally located in various places along the Eastern Shore. Structures range from a church, schoolhouse, General Store, boathouse, dwellings, barns and antique vehicles. Everything in village serves as a reminder of life during World War II-era of Nova Scotia.
Memory Lane Village is open during the summer months. It hosts a multitude of festivities from music concerts to an antique car showcase.
