Steve Skafte is a writer and photographer from Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, where he has lived his entire life. From a young age, he has been drawn to exploration, and once he had traveled every road he could find in his community, he set out in search of the unmapped ones.
Today, Steve plans to document every abandoned road in Nova Scotia, and he is well on his way. Join us to hear Steve’s adventures exploring the crumbling history that our ancestors left behind.
Steve has been a past Tuesday Night Talk presenter with another book, The Dead Die Twice: Abandoned Cemeteries of Nova Scotia.
Steve’s current book will be available for purchase and author signing.
As part of our Tuesday community nights at the museum, we offer free admission from 5 pm – 8 pm. We also encourage donations to Feed Nova Scotia to help curb food insecurity in Halifax, together!
