The Town of Pictou is home to a rich collection of heritage properties that reflect its deep historical roots and architectural charm. These buildings tell the story of the town’s early settlers, shipbuilding legacy, and cultural development. Preserving these properties is vital, not only to honour the past, but to maintain the unique character and identity of the community for future generations. Heritage conservation supports tourism, fosters civic pride, and ensures that the stories and craftsmanship of the past continue to inspire and educate. If you may have any questions related to heritage properties please contact the Town Hall at 902-485-4372.
