LaHave Islands
Marine Museum.
This building is the former United Methodist church.
LaHave Islands
Community Hall.
This once was used as a general store, meeting hall and for other various types of shops and services for the Islands. Today it is used by groups holding dinners, meetings, sales and other fund raising activities.
Saint John
the Evangelist church.
This fully consecrated Anglican church is used in the Summertime for the annual Fisherman’s Memorial Service and can be booked for weddings and other occasions by contacting the Society.
