Follow a focused walk through museums that help you explore Annapolis Royal’s Loyalist-era wooden architecture. Stop at Sinclair Inn Museum to consider how an historic wooden building is preserved and interpreted, then visit the Annapolis Heritage Society to deepen the local architectural context. Finish at North Hills Museum for another perspective on the wooden buildings and domestic heritage associated with the area. The walk is worthwhile because each museum contributes a different lens on the subject rather than offering a general museum tour.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.
