Be prepared to leave the 21st century behind...

and re-live life as it once was in the 18th century.

James Addington Holdsworth built this home around 1784 after his arrival to Digby from the New York area

The Holdsworth House has three guest rooms each with a private ensuite bath.

There are two parlours for reading and relaxing, or maybe an old fashioned parlour game.

4 hours of hands on demonstrations of Loyalist cooking techniques, then after, enjoy the mouth watering feast you prepared.
