The McCulloch House Museum and Genealogy Centre holds a wealth of photographs, maps, books, Newspapers, family records and artifacts related to Pictou County. I found the staff to be exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the region. I highly recommend.

The McCulloch House Reasearch Centre is a wonderful place to research your Nova Scotia ancestors and history, especially that of Pictou County. There are abundant resources of different kinds which are easily accessible. Best of all is the staff, both Michelle Davey and Teresa MacKenzie are warm, welcoming, and very knowledgable and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there.

The McCulloch Genealogy Centre offers much to the researcher, as well as the history buff and tourist. The displays of local artifacts are attractively presented and are evocative of Pictou’s storied past. The Centre has a wide selection of archival documents which are invaluable to the historian and genealogist. The staff are highly professional and well-informed.
