The Prescott House Museum in Starr's Point, Nova Scotia, is a Georgian residence built between 1799 and 1809 by Charles Ramage Prescott as the centrepiece of his country estate, Acacia Grove. Now part of the Nova Scotia Museum and designated a national historic site, it stands as one of Canada's best-preserved examples of Georgian architecture. The house and its accompanying gardens remain significant testaments to early 19th-century Nova Scotian domestic design and rural estate life.
