Kings County Museum, located in kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The Kings County Museum is housed in the old courthouse in kentville which was built in 1903, and served as Kings County's seat of justice for more than seventy-five years. The building was purchased by the Kings Historical Society in 1980, and has been operated as a museum ever since. The original courtroom and furnishings continue to be maintained today as one of the museum's outstanding permanent exhibits.
