Fredericton Region Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Queen Street in the heart of Fredericton, this museum feels like a local secret waiting to be discovered. It’s the kind of place where history feels immediate and surprisingly personal, not locked away behind glass. You'll find everything from Loyalist-era furniture to First Nations artifacts, all telling the layered story of this riverside community. The atmosphere is charmingly dense, inviting you to linger and uncover each curious object.
Collection Highlights
Without a doubt, the undisputed star of the collection is a local legend made tangible: a perfectly preserved, shockingly large frog weighing in at 42 pounds. Beyond this amphibious celebrity, you can explore a rich array of regional history, from military uniforms and vintage photographs to poignant everyday items carried by early settlers.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 571 Queen Street, an easy walk from downtown. It's wise to check their current opening hours online before you pop in, as they can vary with the seasons.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an old stone barracks building that dates back to the 19th century, its sturdy, rustic exterior gives it an authentic, grounded feel that perfectly suits its purpose.
