Our Museum, a Georgian-style home, was constructed in the mid 1800’s. It is locally known as the “Woodrow/Dakin House”. One of the oldest structures in the Town of Digby, it is named in the honour of Rear Admiral Robert Digby. Upon visiting, you may notice some walls are made of lath and horsehair plaster and the doorways are very low. This tells us that the people of yesteryear were shorter than their descendants!
The Woodrow House served as the Admiral Digby Library during the 1970s. It was operated by the Admiral Digby Library Association. In 1972, the Society’s name was officially changed to the Admiral Digby Library & Historical Society, of which operates the Admiral Digby Museum.
