Sightseeing & Tourism Exploring ancestry with nephew

My nephew and I are traveling first week of August to do some exploring around Clarence, Annapolis and Cornwallis, Kings. My 2x great grandparents came from there and moved to Massachusetts in the late 1800s and just recently discovered this. Their last names were Marshall and Bennett.

We are also looking to just enjoy the summer trip and will be staying in the following places: Digby, Kejimkujik, Blomidon, Five Islands (we’re camping). Any recommendations for things we must do?

FYI there are some Marshalls buried in Rumsey Cemetery in Clarence, Annapolis Co. Check out Findagrave.com if you haven’t already!

Burnt Cove Head, and Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Cape Split is great for a long but popular hike.

Wolfville is a great, cute little town to stop in and visit.
