Loyalist House
About This Museum
Stepping into Loyalist House is like walking through a time portal straight into 1817. It's not a recreation; this was the actual home of a wealthy British Loyalist family, and almost everything you see is original to the house. The silence has a different quality here, thick with stories of the people who built this city from the ground up after fleeing the American Revolution. You can almost hear the rustle of silk skirts on the grand staircase.
Collection Highlights
The real highlight is how complete it all feels—the family's own elegant mahogany furniture, their delicate china set for tea, and even the children's toys are right where they might have left them. Don't miss the stunning grandfather clock standing guard in the hall; it's been ticking away for over two centuries.
Visitor Information
It's a self-guided tour, so you can wander at your own pace and really soak in the atmosphere. It’s tucked at 120 Union Street in Saint John—a quiet, unassuming treasure that feels like your own personal discovery.
Architecture & Building
It's a classic example of a Georgian home, all about perfect symmetry with its neat rows of windows and a dignified, understated elegance from the outside that promises the warmth and richness you find inside.
