A stamp mill (or stamp battery or stamping mill) is a type of mill machine that crushes material by pounding rather than grinding, either for further processing or for extraction of metallic ores. Breaking material down is a type of unit operation.

The Royal Oak Gold Mine and Stamp Mill houses a five-stamp mill discovered near Lake Charlotte in Halifax County. A similar one operated in Goldenville, near Sherbrooke Village.

The Sherbrooke Drug Store recreates a pharmacy much like the one which was in Sherbrooke in the late 1890s. Besides seeing the various drugs of the time, visitors will lso be able to watch the making of the Sherbrooke Village Rosewater Hand Cream. Most of the items in the collection were acquired and donated by the Nova Scotia Pharmaceutical Society.

Loved all the lotions and potions in the Drug Store at Sherbrooke Village, couple more like this to come at some point.
