    Love the museum and the history. They had actors playing parts of the people on the ships and the ship itself was such an education. Outside the grounds, you can find a monument to the Scottish travellers who arrived on the ship and started their lives in Nova Scotia, encouraging other Scots to follow in their paths. Very fun and educational to visit while in Pictou.

    I'm not a big *museum* person, and I spent my life on ships, but I was quite impressed with this place. The Hector has a compelling history, of the family names you see in the area, first settlers it brought in, their hardship and stories, artifacts, photos, re-creations and videos. The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the actual Hector ship guide loves to tell you his stories. How they got so many people in just those few hard wooden bunkbeds? Why is the upper deck rotting and not the hull? What was the upper deck like, during the crossing? Ask those questions, and some of your own. For a non-museum person, I spent a great deal of time here, and enjoyed every minute. I would have been disappointed if I had traveled through Pictou area, and had not included this attraction. ENSURE you allocate a few hours, the town is small, but you will need additional time, per stop. Highly recommend you visit.

    Came here as part of an organized tour, so we were part of a fairly large group. The docents did a great job of describing the hardships endured by the Scottish settlers on their way to the new world. The reconstruction of the Hector really helped appreciate how hard the crossing really was. Well worth a visit.
