The white house with green accents was her grandmother's childhood home before it was made into the Fisherman’s Life Museum. The museum kept many of the items her ancestors used on a daily basis to show what life looked like for ordinary Nova Scotians who lived off the ocean. The Fisherman's Life Museum was one of several museums and visitor information centres the province announced it was closing early this week. Varner-Riley was there with around 50 other people who gathered on Saturday to support the museum and oppose the province’s decision to close it. The pain grew when she noticed that the Facebook page and website for the museum also disappeared, which she says is erasing their history.
