It is located on its original land, on the corner of the "Great Roads" leading from Halifax to Truro and to the Annapolis Valley.

Before its fall in 1758, Johann Fultz, and his wife, whom he married while in Nova Scotia, Elizabeth, brought two children into the world.

Almost immediately afterwards, Fultz's Twelve Mile House began operating on the corner of the "Great Roads", serving as a rest stop for horse-drawn carriages traveling to and from Halifax.

It was a popular stop for George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie during his period as Governor of Nova Scotia (1816 to 1820).

Jane Emily Fultz, the sixth child of Bennett and Mary retired to the family home after the death of her father.

In November of that year, six Sackville community groups joined to form the Fultz Corner Restoration Society; among them were the Sackville Heritage Society (represented by Bob Harvey, a councilor with HRM District 20 today), a garden club, and a sorority.

Through provincial and federal funding the museum is able to keep history alive through the employment of a summer staff made up of post-secondary students.
