| Cossit House Museum |
Constructed in 1787, Cossit House is Sydney’s oldest home. Heritage interpreters in period costume welcome you at this restored one-and-a-half storey house, believed to be the oldest surviving house in Sydney. Built in 1787, this was the residence of the Reverend Ranna Cossit, Sydney's first permanent Anglican minister. Several rooms have been furnished based on an 1815 inventory of Cossit's estate. This site is particularly important for visitors interested in early New England colonial architecture, period furnishings, colonial lifestyles, cultural and social history, historic Nova Scotian houses, Loyalist heritage, significant Nova Scotians and early political and religious history of the province.
