Elegant manor where galas and balls were hosted in yesteryear. Built in 1828, this important national and provincial historic site has been restored to its earlier splendour, and is the official residence and office to the Province's Lieutenant Governor. It features many antiques original to the house, a New Brunswick art gallery, gift shop, and interpretation centre which tells the story of the city and province's past.
Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick in Canada. Located in Fredericton, it stands on a 4.5 ha estate along the Saint John River in the provincial capital at 51 Woodstock Road; while the equivalent building in many countries has a prominent, central place in the territorial capital, the site of New Brunswick's Government House is relatively unobtrusive within Fredericton, giving it more the character of a private home.
Historical settlement outside Fredericton north on the Trans-Canada Highway. King's Landing is a 300-acre (121-hectare) outdoor living history museum. The Landing recreates the sights, sounds and feel of rural New Brunswick in the 1800s. Staff, with authentically reproduced costumes work in the homes, shops, school, church, and theatre. Kings Landing was the winner of Attractions Canada Top International Attraction Award in 1999.
This small wooden country church was built in 1837. Besides its rural cuteness, the church has the historical distinction of being one of the first in Canada to have a racially integrated congregation (white and Black). A Black family helped build and maintain the church. The church cemetery was also integrated at a time when graveyards were segregated in Canada.
