Springhill

Nestled in Nova Scotia’s Cumberland County, Springhill exudes a charming small-town ambiance that captures the essence of rural living. The town's history is deeply rooted in coal mining—it was founded in 1889 as Springhill Mines—and remnants of its industrial past can still be explored, adding a touch of historical charm to the town. Today, the community is perhaps best known as the home of beloved Canadian songstress Anne Murray, as showcased in the town’s Anne Murray Centre.

The slower pace of life allows for a relaxed lifestyle, where residents take the time to connect with one another at local gatherings, community events, and the numerous parks and recreational areas. The town’s main street offers the shops and services its residents rely on, and the centrally-located elementary school, high school, and NSCC Cumberland Campus make it an excellent community for education.

With a strong sense of community pride and a commitment to preserving its heritage, Springhill offers a welcoming haven for those seeking a serene and genuine rural experience.
