I'm very sorry to hear that the guide was not more helpful. We will provide more training and advice for the summer staff so that they are more knowledgeable about the site prior to conducting tours. The interpretive panels were designed to provide a more detailed story of Dr. Thomas McCulloch and the establishment of public education in Nova Scotia. We appreciate your feedback about the interpretation & will take this into account when discussing new exhibition and interpretive plans.

Thank your for your feedback. We are in the process of discussing new interpretation & exhibitions for the House and your comments are important to us. The family of NS Museums invested a lot of money and time in to developing the panels a number of years ago. The focus was to concentrate on the story of Dr. Thomas McCulloch and the establishment of non-secular education and the effects it had on the settlement of Pictou in the early 1800s. Unfortunately, many visitors are disappointed to see that there is very little authentic period artifacts from the belongings of the McCulloch family. We hope that the artifacts and collections in the study and main exhibit area were of some interest. The butler desk and wardrobe and the personal items in each are of special significance to the collection and story, as well as the Audubon items. As awkward as it is knowing that a customer is unsatisfied, we would always be obliging in returning any fees paid if we had known your disappointment after visiting.
