The Antigonish Heritage Museum in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, has started its fourth annual Lego building contest to help people learn about local history. The competition is open to residents of all ages who want to show off their creativity and building skills.
Participants in the 2026 contest can enter their work into one of two categories. The first category is for models of Nova Scotia heritage buildings that are at least 100 years old, while the second category covers important moments in Canadian history.
Curator Barry MacKenzie and the museum staff organized the event to get people of all ages interested in keeping local history alive. The challenge is a fun way for families to learn about the culture and the history of buildings in the region through play.
Builders have until April 10, 2026, to submit their Lego projects to the museum for a chance to win prizes. The museum continues to use this yearly contest to make history more interesting and accessible to everyone in the community.
