On today's episode is Dr Darlene Strong.  Darlene grew up in Amherst, NS and in 1999 decided to start researching, learning and disseminating information about the African Nova Scotian community that she grew up in.  In February this year she produced a exhibit on the Historic Sand Hill Trail that as displayed the Cumberland County Museum.  Once the Ottawa House, Parrsboro, opens again the exhibit will be displayed there.

Darlene shared a lot of information about the historical houses and buildings on the trail.  As well as some stories about the people of African Descent that made an impact on Amherst and our community.  These were topics that I didn't know a lot about, and I am pleased that Darlene came on the episode to share some of what she has learned.
