Wolfville

Wolfville is a small town in the rural Annapolis Valley, Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada, located about 100 km (62 mi) northwest of the provincial capital, Halifax. As of 2001, the population was 3,658.
Wolfville is home to Acadia University, the Atlantic Theatre Festival, Landmark East School and the http://www.acadiacinemacoop.ca/ Acadia Cinema Cooperative, a non-profit organization that runs the local movie house.
Wolfville is a popular tourist destination, both for the scenery of the nearby Bay of Fundy and for the many cultural attractions which are offered by the university and by the town. In the past few years several Victorian houses in Wolfville have been converted to bed and breakfast establishments. Harvest Gallery on Main Street features exclusively the works of Nova Scotian artists, including Alex Colville, a renowned Wolfville resident.
Once known as Mud Creek and Horton, Wolfville was served by the Dominion Atlantic Railway and was a seaport devoted principally to the export of apples from the orchards of the fertile Annapolis Valley.
