North Queens Heritage House is a small museum located in Caledonia, Nova Scotia. The venue for the museum a beautiful old farmhouse, which was originally built by Milton Foster Douglas in 1854. The house stayed in the Douglas family until Eunice Douglas, and her son Ellis, donated the property to the North Queens Heritage Society in 1976.

After the property was donated, the Heritage Society set about making it into a museum. All sorts of people from the North Queens communities and beyond donated artefacts. Armed with plenty of artifacts and a strong knowledge of local history, the society set about making the Douglas House into North Queens Heritage House Museum.

Finally, in 1986, Ruth Baxter cut the ribbon to open the North Queens Heritage House. Since then, the museum has changed greatly. Exhibits have been improved, attendance has skyrocketed, and we have become a part of the Nova Scotia Museum System. In addition, we have added a public access internet site and a significant genealogical archive.
