History

Mount Uniacke is home to the Uniacke Estate Museum Park, the one time summer residence of Richard John Uniacke, former Attorney General of Nova Scotia in the 19th century.[2]

Mount Uniacke was a popular area for the train riders of the time. Originally, an inn was placed in Mount Uniacke; however, the inn burned down in the 1970s. Another large hotel, the Parker Hotel, was located in Mount Uniacke. After the Parker Hotel was removed, a house was built. The house was abandoned and was eventually torn down. A mine was discovered on 18 June 1865 by Mr. Uniacke. The mine was in production from 1867 to 1941.[citation needed]
