Hector Exhibit Centre

The McCulloch House Museum and Genealogy Centre, located in Pictou, Nova Scotia, serves as a hub for exploring the heritage of Eastern Canada, particularly the story of the Scots in the New World. Established in 1973 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Ship Hector's landing, it features a range of archival materials, temporary exhibits, and a local history library for visitors and researchers alike.

This locally managed site boasts interpretive panels detailing the life of Thomas McCulloch, a significant figure in early 19th-century education and politics, along with a collection of artifacts, including many of McCulloch's personal belongings. The museum is situated in a historic building, Sherbrooke Cottage, which dates back to circa 1806 and is listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.
