Anne Murray grew up in the small Nova Scotia coal mining town of Springhill, far, far away from the glitter and glamour of Hollywood. Yet her breathtaking flight to fame has made Anne Murray a household name in entertainment capitals of the world, and she has amassed more musical awards and accolades than almost any female singer in history.

Now, you can see firsthand the incomparable mix of awards, photographs, memorabilia and audio-visual highlights of Anne Murray's life and career in a series of award winning, three-dimensional displays at the Anne Murray Centre in downtown Springhill.

The Anne Murray Centre is a non-profit association and is a registered Canadian charity. All of the revenue generated from the operation of the Centre is used to provide employment for local people and for the ongoing maintenance of the Centre.

The original initiative for the Anne Murray Centre came from volunteer members of the Springhill Industrial Commission. They envisaged such a Centre as a catalyst to stimulate the economy of the community, and promote awareness of the music of Nova Scotia and Canada through the public presentation of Anne Murray’s life and career achievements.

The Anne Murray Centre has fulfilled Anne's wish to contribute in a unique manner to her hometown, which has suffered through two mine disasters and two devastating fires since 1956.

Since its opening in July, 1989 the Centre has received over 250,000 visitors from around the world. The Anne Murray Centre is open from mid-May to mid-October each year and during the off-season by appointment or by chance.
