Greenhill is a rural community located between Alma and Central West River.  The name is descriptive. The Mi’kmaq name for the area is “Espakumegek”, meaning high ground. Greenhill Lookoff Museum, operated by Cliff Ross since about 1930, was purchased by the Provincial Government in 1959. It was later closed and the area was converted into a Provincial picnic park with magnificent panoramic views of the Pictou County landscape.
