Argyle Municipality Historical & Genealogical Society is a charitable organization based in Tusket, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $114K in revenue and $99K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 65% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $48.
