Weymouth is a picturesque village of rolling hills, restored homes and established family businesses built near the mouth of the Sissiboo River, where the river meets St. Mary’s Bay. The highway through Weymouth North follows the gentle slope of the riverbank, and in summer and fall, is canopied by large maple trees that provide a natural tunnel for visitors driving through the village. On either side of this provincially designated Evangeline Trail, are reminders of the rich history of Weymouth, magnificent Victorian or Georgian homes, many restored to their previous glory and painted in the popular ‘heritage’ colours of the day. The business center of the village was built in a valley between two steep hills, on the east and west side of the bridge that separates the ‘downtown’. The Goodwin Hotel on the east side is a well-known village landmark. The hotel and nearby Weymouth Trading Post are among the older businesses in the county. Refer to the Local Businesses page for a more complete list of businesses in and around the village of Weymouth. The village of Weymouth and surrounding communities of Weymouth North, Weymouth Mills, Weymouth Falls, New Edinburgh and others, are all part of Digby County. The region is a land characterized by acres of pristine forests and miles of spectacular, rugged coastline. The nearby Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world! There are plenty of things to do. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy sea kayaking, canoeing, hiking, birding, sport fishing and whale watching; and the Sissiboo River that has played such an important role in the development of Weymouth, has become one of the more popular recreational waterways in the county.
