Brief History

For many years the large, slow moving rodent, porcupines were a protected species in Nova Scotia.

Abundant in Nova Scotian coastal waters, Pollock is commonly retailed as Boston Bluefish.

The first regular ferry crossing between the important seaport of Saint John and Nova Scotia's fertile Annapolis Valley was by the "Sally" in 1784.

In 1838 an ice bridge formed across the Annapolis River enabling people to cross to and from Granville and Annapolis Royal, but it broke up on the returning tide leaving most people stranded on the wrong side.

A native of Welsford in the Annapolis Valley, Alfred C. Fuller established a door-to-door sales empire which gained international success and still bears his name.

In 1956 a bag of Roasted Peanuts would cost you .35 cents a pound; Mixed Nuts - .49 cents a pound; and Moirs' Fresh made Chocolates - .89 cents a box.

Until 1803 the Annapolis Valley community of Lawrencetown was known as Dunn’s Mills.
