Back in the ’70’s, plans for a dam on the beautiful St John River in New Brunswick threatened a group of 18th Century buildings. Some bright spark had the idea to move them out of harms way. The result is s vibrant, living historical village.
We visited on a very hot holiday Monday and all the doors were thrown open to welcome a bit of breeze as well as us visitors.
The delightful staff not only welcomed us into their homes and places of business, they drew us in the 18th village with the play acting. We were encouraged to lend a hand to help with the chores. Because it takes a village to … well … make village.

Ohh, love this old door and its hardware. Nice shot!
Thanks!!!
Love the simplicity of villages. So warm & welcoming.
I agree. And so beautifully and lovingly done.
Love all of that old weathered textured wood. Great shots 🙂
Thanks Norm! 😊
I love this type of place. We went to one in Toronto. It’s great to know these beautiful old buildings are safe for the future.
I agree!!! 😊
Love the salmon colored one with the black handle – handsome. But, the barn door makes me want to volunteer to take it down and fix it. 🙂
Hahaha!! It could use some maintenance 😊
So glad they preserved these buildings, and in such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing these pictures.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the tour! 😊
The weathered barn takes me back to my grandparents farm where they stashed all sorts of ‘treasures’.
love it!
Yes, indeed!!! Old barns are full of stories and treasures. I love them too!
A super collection of doors .. love the old barn door. 🙂
