Sheriff Andrews House
About This Museum
Tucked away on the charming, tree-lined King Street in St. Andrews, the Sheriff Andrews House is a quiet time capsule from the early 19th century. Stepping across its threshold feels less like entering a formal museum and more like wandering into the carefully preserved home of a prominent local figure who has just stepped out for a moment. The air carries the faint, woody scent of history, and each room tells a story through its curated furnishings and personal artifacts. It’s an intimate glimpse into New Brunswick's Loyalist past, offering a surprisingly personal connection to the lives of those who shaped this coastal town.
Collection Highlights
You'll find the Sheriff's original judicial documents and personal library, which feel incredibly immediate. The heart of the home is the elegant dining room, set with period china as if awaiting guests, while upstairs, the bedrooms reveal the more private, domestic side of life in that era.
Visitor Information
Given its intimate size, it's best to check their seasonal opening hours online before you go—it's often open from late spring through early autumn. A visit here is a perfect, peaceful counterpoint to a day spent exploring St. Andrews' bustling waterfront.
Architecture & Building
The building is a classic example of Loyalist architecture, characterized by its symmetrical facade, steep gable roof, and simple, elegant proportions that speak to the practical yet refined tastes of its original occupants.
