The Tusket post office is one of a handful of brick post offices of the 60s or 70s. This one is a little different from the norm, with a panel of wood and glass across the front and a stepped roof affording room for a couple of small windows over the entrance. The building stands on the corner of Courthouse Road and Highway 3, the
Lighthouse Route, which, with the Evangeline Trail, makes a large loop around the southern part of the province, from Halifax in the east around to Wolfville on the Bay of Fundy.
When in Tusket, some historic sites are the 1805
Argyle Township Court House and Gaol, Canada’s oldest standing courthouse and a Canadian National Historic Site, and the
Argyle Township Court House Archives, originally a Methodist Church built in 1878 and later a United Church, then a Seventh Day Adventist Church. The
Greenville United Baptist Church, built in 1853 and one of the oldest extant churches built by the Nova Scotia Black community, is just 6 kilometres to the west.
