Valeur patrimoniale
The Independent Order of Oddfellows (IOOF) Hall at Westport on Digby Neck is valued for its historical role in the community. As a benevolent society, the organization provided assistance to many local families. The hall was built in 1909 from lumber salvaged from the Norwegian barque "Aurora" that was wrecked off the coast of Digby Neck. The hall is no longer used by the IOOF, but continues to be used by the village of Westport.
