Scotia as we know it today.
   This exhibit presents
Alice Hagen’s life through
images of her china and
pottery, paintings,
notebooks, family photographs
and other documents. The
storyline written by Dr.
Janet Guildford, an historian
at Mount Saint Vincent

University, provides new
insights about this artist as
a woman of her times. Marie
Elwood, Homer Lord and Mary
Sparling paved the way with
their ground-breaking
research over the period 1975
to 1985. We gratefully
acknowledge, among those who
contributed to the present

exhibit, members of the
Campbell family (Alice
Hagen’s descendants) and the
director of the Mahone Bay
Settlers Museum, Wilma
Stewart. Christine Lovelace
organized and entered the
texts and images. Production
of this exhibit was made
possible by CHIN and a

Cultural Activities grant
from Nova Scotia Tourism and
Culture.
