We are excited to announce that the exhibition "Forgotten Voices: Poor Farms in Kings County" will officially open! To mark the opening, Kings County Museum curator Kaleigh Weickert will be giving a public talk about the history of poor farms in Nova Scotia as well as the research process behind her "poor farms" project funded by the Provincial Archives Development Program. After many hours spent rooting through archives, sifting through historic documents, and traveling to local historic sites, "Forgotten Voices: Nova Scotia’s Poor Farms" is finally ready to open to the public. Kaleigh will also share some of the stories she has uncovered along the way. Afterwards, guests are invited to stay for a social hour to mingle, share stories and memories, and explore the exhibition.
