John William's Dory Shop was established in 1880 when Dories were one of the most important small boats in the Atlantic Provinces and parts of New England. Visitors can observe the traditional building methods used to create these stackable fishing boats and learn about the Dory rivalry between Shelburne and Lunenburg.
The Ross-Thomson House Museum was erected during good economic times in Shelburne. By 1784 Loyalists on the run from the American Revolution had increased the town's population to more then that of Halifax, Montréal, or Québec City. This modest home became ajoined to a shop where Shelburne's pine boards, codfish and pickled herring were traded for salt, tobacco, molasses and dry goods.
