Wry Collection

Wry Collection

The Wry Collection includes many extremely valuable artifacts with a number of rare and unusual textiles, samplers and quilts. It rivals the best of the collection of similar artifacts housed at the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John. The Trust is very indebted to Mrs. Pauline Spatz for making this collection available for display at the museum.

Approximately one quarter of the collection is currently on display in the Wry Room. The exhibited artifacts span four generations of the family and illustrate their contributions to life in Sackville.

In addition to the exhibits, interpretive panels illustrate the genealogy of the family along with the connection to the Yorkshire emigration to this region in 1772–1775.
