Boultenhouse Heritage Centre
Shipbuilding and seafaring, railroads and foundries, domestic life, and an amazing Research Centre. Come visit the oldest house in Sackville, a unique octagonal house, and a shipwright’s mansion, all in one place.
Campbell Carriage Factory Museum
One of the best examples of a 19th century industrial site in North America and the only original carriage factory left in Canada. .

The Alec R. Purdy History and Genealogy Centre
The Centre contains books, periodicals, newspapers, articles, photographs, and genealogical information on Tantramar history. We welcome researchers, genealogists, and members of the general public to peruse our holdings and share information. Please contact us to make an appointment to visit the Research Centre. We also welcome telephone and email inquiries.
Our latest publication
the life and adventures of Sackville sea captain Stephen Barnes Atkinson. A transcript of
the original hand-written document was obtained from the New Brunswick Museum and
edited for publication by Sandy Burnett with input from Al Smith and Paul Bogaard. To
ensure clarity of meaning the editors have added a foreword and afterword, footnotes,
maps, illustrations, and appendices.
We are grateful and respectfully acknowledge that we operate on the traditional lands of the Wabanaki peoples. Because of the peace and friendship treaties of the eighteenth century, we understand that we are all treaty people and have a responsibility to respect this territory. In the spirit of reconciliation, we commit to building strong relationships with the original custodians of this land.
