Uniacke estate museum park nova scotia

Uniacke Estate Museum Park in centred on the home of Richard John Uniacke at Mount Uniacke (c.1813). The Uniacke house is a member institution of the Nova Scotia Museum.

The museum houses portraits which belonged in the Uniacke family by the leading American artists of the era:

The portraits of the Francklins accompanied the newlywed couple to Nova Scotia in 1762 and remained in the province until 1927. Michael's portrait was purchased for the Nova Scotia Museum collection in 1982. The two portraits were reunited at Uniacke House after the acquisition of Susanna's portrait in 2004.

James Boutineau by Robert Feke (1748), (father-in-law of Michael Franklin)
