Fodor's Expert Review Queens County Museum

Village of Gagetown History Museum

Expanding by leaps and bounds, the museum's original building, Tilley House (a National Historic Site), was the birthplace of Sir Leonard Tilley, one of the Fathers of Confederation. It displays Loyalist and First Nations artifacts, early-20th-century medical equipment, Victorian glassware, and more. The nearby Queens County Courthouse ( 16 Courthouse Rd.) is part of the museum and has archival material and courthouse furniture as well as changing exhibits. The third site is Flower House in Cambridge Narrow ( 2270 Lower Cambridge Rd.), built in 1818 by artist Anthony Flower. It relates his family history and contains a collection of his art, alongside works by other New Brunswick artists. Another building, the historic Loomcrofters Studio, dating back at least to 1761, has now been moved onto the grounds of Tilley House.
