Kings Landing and its collection
Source
Kings Landing, located in New Brunswick, is a living history museum that houses original buildings from the period of 1820-1920. These buildings were saved and relocated to make way for the headpond for the Mactaquac Dam. Although Kings Landing was never a real village, it serves as a representation of rural New Brunswick during the 19th and early 20th century.
Experience History with Costumed Interpreters
At Kings Landing, costumed interpreters with extensive knowledge of their area bring the site to life for the visitors. These interpreters provide explanations of household objects and demonstrations of period activities. They welcome visitors, go about daily chores, cook period meals, and create period crafts, all while in costumes appropriate to the time period of their area.
Special Events at Kings Landing
Every few weekends, Kings Landing hosts Special Events. These events are often recreations of specific events in New Brunswick's history. They normally correspond to a particular date, or time of the year. For example, around and on July the 1st, the Confederation Debate features Charles Fisher and William Needham as portrayed by actors. Visitors get a taste of the controversy surrounding the formation of Canada. As with most of the activities on site, the visitors are encouraged to join in, asking questions, giving votes.
