Administrative history
Sherbrooke Village Restoration grew from a citizens’ movement to preserve the historic streetscape of the village of Sherbrooke in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia in the mid-1960s. In 1969, the Sherbrooke Restoration Act was passed in the Nova Scotia Legislature, which appointed the Sherbrooke Restoration Commission as the body responsible for administering regulations on the orderly development and restoration of a large area within the village of Sherbrooke, creating a living history museum. The Commission became the body responsible for making decisions on any and all development issues in the historic area. Their decisions, based on the powers provided by the Sherbrooke Restoration Commission Act, supersede any provincial or municipal law within the designated area. Sherbrooke Village Restoration is administered by the Sherbrooke Restoration Commission under the direction of the Nova Scotia Museum, part of the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, and Heritage. In 1970, restoration of buildings began and the first visitors were welcomed in 1971.
