A local cultural and tourist hub, the Burin Heritage square is home to three significant buildings; the Reddy House, the Bank of Nova Scotia Museum and the Oldest Colony Trust Building. The 1920 Reddy Heritage House, initially owned by the Reddy Family, offers various exhibits and preserved rooms in the house. A notable exhibit includes the Burin Cottage Hospital exhibit.
The 3-storey Bank of Nova Scotia Museum houses a craft shop and a bank vault on the first floor. The second floor has a Mariners room, the Tidal Wave Display, the war room and the school room. The last floor features a typewriter room, tool room and sports room. The Oldest Colony Trust building, once a cold storage facility, is a cultural center. It exhibits local artwork from the 19th century and hosts various live events during the summer.
