Halifax and Prestons: 4-Hour African Nova Scotian Heritage Tour｜Canada

Step into African Nova Scotian history on a guided heritage tour from Halifax. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned, 14-passenger van and explore Preston Township, a region shaped by generations of Black communities whose stories, culture, and contributions continue to define Nova Scotia.

Your guide brings the past and present to life as you journey through the historic communities of Cherry Brook, North Preston, and East Preston. Along the way, you’ll hear about resilience, identity, and community-building—grounded in the places where these histories unfolded.

A key stop is the Black Cultural Centre, where you can deepen your understanding through exhibits and interpretation that highlight African Nova Scotian heritage. You’ll also stop at the Akoma Centre, with time to optionally purchase lunch at Opus Café (not included).

Return to Halifax with a richer connection to the region and a clearer sense of the people and communities that have shaped it—an ideal experience for travelers seeking meaningful local history, culture, and learning in an authentic setting.
