About the Black Loyalist Heritage Society

The Black Loyalist Heritage Society was formally incorporated in 1991, when a few concerned citizens gathered in the interest of preserving Birchtown's historical significance, which was being threatened by a proposed Land Fill. They formed the Shelburne County Cultural Awareness Society, which changed its name in 1999 to the current Black Loyalist Heritage Society. The Society is a national not-for-porfit organization governed by a Board of Directors, elected annually from among the Membership. Their offices are located at 104 Old Birchtown Road, in the center of a Site designated to honor our Black Loyalist ancestry. Also located on-site is the Black Burial Ground; St. Paul's Anglican Church; a Heritage Walking Trail and the Heritage Museum & Gift Shop.
