ONANCOCK

We took a nice walk into town.  Unfortunately, almost everything is closed on Monday. 

We did get a chance to walk around the grounds of Ker Place built in 1789.  It is now a museum. While the museum was closed we did view their herb garden and a Log canoe,The Annie C. that was built in 1904 from 5 pine logs.  It was built by hand using an adze.  Apparently they were used for oystering and would stay out 2 or 3 days with a crew of 3.  Not very spacious accommodation.

There are many churches in this town many dating back to the early 1900’s .  A hotbed of Presbyterianism.

Many of the lovely homes had extensive gingerbread and in many of the gardens, the azaleas were out in full bloom.

The weather continued hot but we are expecting cooler weather as a front moves through.
