The Chocolate Museum
About This Museum
What other museum lets you walk through the history of Canada with a sweet tooth? This isn't just a museum; it's a celebration of St. Stephen's long-standing love affair with chocolate, famously home to the Ganong Bros., who invented the delectable chocolate nut bar. Nestled in a charming New Brunswick town, it tells a uniquely Canadian story of confectionery innovation. You'll discover how this small border community became a cornerstone of the country's candy industry.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is Ganong's original candy-making equipment and vintage packaging that will spark instant nostalgia. Don't miss their impressive display of historic chocolate boxes and tins, some over a century old. A real highlight is seeing how they hand-dipped chocolates back in the day—a technique that made them famous.
Visitor Information
The best part? Your ticket includes a chocolate sample, so you get a taste of history along with the story. It's a compact and wonderfully engaging spot, perfect for a sweet one- to two-hour visit with the whole family.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, red-brick building that feels like it’s always been part of the town's fabric, it has the welcoming feel of a classic general store.
