The Economuseum Concept

Amos Pewter is Canada's only Pewter Economuseum. Started in Quebec in 1992, the Economuseum Network's mission is to showcase traditional trades and skills. Visit www.economusees.com to find out about more this unique network that celebrates Canadian craftsmanship by showcasing Artisans at Work.

The Mahone Bay Workshop

As the first Nova Scotia member of the Quebecois Economuseum network, whose mission is to showcase traditional trades and skills, visitors at Amos Pewter will be introduced to techniques, both old and new, used in making pewter and the history of the pewter craft. (All interpretive panels are written in English and French.)

The store area displays all of the products designed and created in the workshop. We have a special play area for small children and for the plant lovers who visit, there is an interesting array of local plants to examine in the surrounding seaside gardens.
