Kings Landing, New Brunswick
About This Museum
You won't believe this, but stepping into Kings Landing is like having a time machine set for the 1800s. It's not one building but a whole village of historic homes, workshops, and farms scattered across a beautiful riverside landscape. The air smells of woodsmoke and you're just as likely to hear the clang of a blacksmith's hammer as you are to chat with a 'resident' in period dress churning butter. It feels less like a museum and more like you've wandered into a living, breathing community from another century.
Collection Highlights
Beyond the buildings themselves, you can see everything from a fully-operating sawmill powered by the river to delicate hand-stitched quilts. Don't miss the chance to watch the potter at her wheel or see the massive, creaking loom in the weaver's shop—it’s all working history here.
Visitor Information
Wear comfy shoes because it's a sprawling site best explored on foot, and be prepared to spend most of the day—there's so much to see and do. It's located just off Route 102 near Prince William, so it's an easy drive from Fredericton.
Architecture & Building
The buildings are a charming mix of early 19th-century Loyalist architecture, featuring simple wooden frame houses with steep gable roofs, a majestic Georgian-style manor, and rustic log barns that look like they've been there forever.
