An active political figure, he was elected to the Provincial House of Assembly in 1790 and served for many years. The property of 30 acres overlooks the Annapolis River near Annapolis Royal (Canadas oldest town & the 2nd permanent European settlement in North America). The home has been meticulously restored by local specialists in historic buildings.
