Haliburton House Museum, Windsor
Facts and practical information
The Haliburton House Museum is part of the Nova Scotia Museum system and is located in Windsor, Nova Scotia. It was′ built in the 1830s for Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a Windsor native who was one of Canada's first famous authors). His "Sam Slick" stories won him acclaim around the English-speaking world of the 1840s, and though Haliburton's famous character was fictitious, the home has also been referred to as the "Sam Slick House" informally for many years. The house was added to during Haliburton's time, but successive owners also made major changes to the house until the 1920s. In 1939, the province acquired the home and in 1940 opened the site as the Haliburton Memorial Museum. ()
