Hantsport

Built around a harbour at the mouth of the Avon River, Hantsport grew into a small port community on Nova Scotia’s Minas Basin. The basin is an arm of the Bay of Fundy, where dramatic tidal movement has long shaped life and work along the shore. Shipbuilding and the shipment of timber, farm produce and gypsum helped define Hantsport’s waterfront economy, while rail connections tied the settlement to the wider province. Dyked farmland and tidal marshes nearby reflect the agricultural traditions of the Annapolis Valley.
