Who we are
Our Story
Our museum is dedicated to preserving the history of River Hebert, Nova Scotia and the surrounding areas through artistically made 1/12 scale models.
All of our models were meticulously made by the late Reginald 'Bud' Johnston. Originally he displayed our collection on his front lawn before moving to our permeant location in 1993.
The Rise of Miniatures
In recent years the world seems to be obsessed with miniatures and we're so fortunate to have jumped on the trend before it took over the world.
Bud's miniatures are unique in the sense that he used everyday items and reimagined them, proving that one man's trash can be another man's miniature kitchen table.
Our Governance
The Heritage Models Museum is proudly governed by the Heritage Models Association. Our board of directors comprises multiple generations of Bud's family, alongside dedicated community members. Together, we are committed to preserving and showcasing our rich heritage for all to appreciate.
