Cherrybrook, Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cherrybrook is predominantly a Black community located to the north of Trunk 7 between Lake Loon and Lake Major, and just a few miles east of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Cherrybrook is a rural community with a few small farms. Most of the people work at trades in the Halifax Regional Municipality communities of Dartmouth and Halifax. The Baptist Church is the glue that keeps residents together. On the Number 7 Highway you will come across the Black Cultural Centre that contains meeting rooms and facilities to meet community needs for meetings and other events. It is a showplace for historical documents and other collections that tell the story of the early development of the Prestons and the many Black families who live in several communities throughout Nova Scotia.
Cherry Brook is also the home of Canadian Idol Runner up, Gary Beals.
