History

The Dingle Tower sits on 95 acres of land donated by Sir Sandford Fleming in 1908. The park was part of his original estate along the North West Arm. (Fleming established Universal Standard Time).  Fleming desired to have the tower built to commemorate the 150^th anniversary of the establishment of representative government in Nova Scotia in 1758.
