CFB (Canadian Forces Base) Greenwood is a hidden gem I found on my recent road trip in Nova Scotia. I was pleasantly surprised to find this great collection of aircraft just outside the base. There is an indoor museum as well, however it was closed because of the pandemic.
The museum houses 15 aircraft and is highlighted by its Avro Lancaster, one of only 17 remaining in the world and one of only three to have flown sorties over continental Europe.
Greenwood is a village located in the western part of Kings County in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. The base began its life in 1942 as RAF Station Greenwood, and in July 1944 became RCAF Station Greenwood. Following the Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968 the base became CFB Greenwood.
