Fredericton Region Museum's Orientation Video
The Orientation Gallery, located immediately to the right of the entry-way door, is intended to welcome its many visitors to the wealth of heritage and history in the greater Fredericton region.
This is accomplished by the use of exhibit panels with visual aids and text, display cases containing important early area artefacts, and a twenty minute DVD film (French and English). The focus is on interpreting our history in an exciting, interactive and engaging manner so that viewers will gain a keener awareness of our collective past.
The film spans four centuries of the area’s dramatic history, with a special emphasis on the Aboriginal, Acadian and Loyalist inhabitants. It includes dramatic vignettes, recreations, personal narratives, maps and early paintings of the area as well as music.

York Sunbury Museum 2008 (now known as the Fredericton Region Museum)
The Fredericton Region Museum (formerly the York Sunbury Museum) was founded in 1934 by the York Sunbury Historical Society. The Society was formed in 1932 and now has members from all over North America, however, most are from central New Brunswick. In 1959, the Museum found permanent headquarters in the Officers' Quarters (571 Queen Street) in the heart of downtown Fredericton.
The Society and Museum remain a non-profit enterprise with a small paid staff and numerous volunteers. They work tirelessly to create informative exhibits based on the history of Fredericton and surrounding areas, organize programs and events as well as publish a local history periodical The Officers' Quarters.
The Fredericton Region Museum is the home of the famous Coleman Frog, the world's largest frog! He is the 42lb wonder that lived in the Killarney Lake just north of Fredericton over 100 years ago.
The Fredericton Region Museum is a gateway into the exciting history and diverse heritage of central New Brunswick. Because central New Brunswick is where the provincial capital is located, and it served as a meeting place for Aboriginals, Loyalists, Acadian, and other European settlers, the Fredericton Region Museum is an excellent place to start. With over 4,000 square feet of exhibit space and a collection of over 30,000 artefacts the museum is a fun and exciting way to look into our past.

Fredericton Region Museum - War of 1812 Exhibit Opening Speech Part 1
The Fredericton Region Museum unveiled the full version of its War of 1812 Exhibit at the Museum in May 2012. Curated by Robert Dallison, the War of 1812 Exhibit is a fully bilingual exhibit with text, maps, images, and artefacts that highlight the events of the War, how the War affected New Brunswick's development, and the role New Brunswick played in the outcome of the War. Among other things, there will be mention of the March of the 104th Regiment in the winter of 1813 and of the British occupation of eastern Maine in 1814.
The exhibit includes numerous artefacts that relate to the War of 1812; displayed will be two swords, a British cavalry sword (with its scabbard) and a British infantry officer's sword, that were both used during the War. Also on display will be the replica Muster Roll of the 104th Regiment, which lists every member of the Regiment in 1812, an 1823 portrait of Major General George Stracey Smyth, and two military uniforms worn during the war, a British officer's jacket and a New Brunswick militia tunic. The exhibit is an accessible and fascinating way to learn more about New Brunswick's history and experience the War of 1812 as Canadians commemorate the War's bicentennial.
The Fredericton Region Museum would like to thank the curator Bob Dallison for his knowledge and time for this project. A big thank you to our University of New Brunswick intern, James Kitchen, for his hard work. Thank you to Charlotte for the panel designs. This project was supported by the City of Fredericton through the Arts, Culture & Heritage Funding Program, the provincial government Exhibit Renewal program and the Federal War of 1812 Commemoration Fund.
Mr. Dallison is the author of A Neighbourly War: New Brunswick and the War of 1812 (copies available for purchase at the museum). The book is part of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Project by the Gregg Centre for Military Studies and was published by Goose Lane Editions. Mr. Dallison served for 35 years with the Canadian Army, retiring as a colonel. Prior to joining the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, he completed a B.A. in History and International Studies at the University of British Columbia.
Mr. Dallison has travelled the world, serving with the United Nations in Cyprus and as staff intelligence officer in Germany. A graduate of Royal Roads Military College and Royal Military College, he is a highly respected historian. Upon his retirement, he became the director of the award-winning Kings Landing Historical Settlement, in Prince William, New Brunswick, a position he held from 1992 to 2002.
In addition, he has been president of Fredericton Heritage Trust and was the New Brunswick representative on the Board of Governors for Heritage Canada.

Visiting King's Landing was like travelling back in time. We got to see the interior of old homes, churches, and barns from the 1800s, and for those looking to get their hands dirty, there was the option of pitching in with some of the farm work. The garrison district is the historic and cultural heart of Fredericton. This is where you can catch free performances, join heritage walking tours, and watch the changing of the guard. The Lighthouse on the Green stands on the banks of the St. John River. Though it once helped guide fishermen to shore, today the lighthouse is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy some seafood or even cool down with an ice cream. The nice thing about Fredericton is that you're never too far from nature. The city has many walking trails and biking paths that are easily accessible, and that means people spend a lot of time outdoors.
This former railway bridge is now popular with pedestrians. It has great views of the St. John River and the 2 university campuses that sit up on the hill. Waterloo Row is one of the prettiest streets in the city. It is lined with historic homes and mansions that look over the river. If you happen to be in town over the weekend, be sure to check out the Farmers' Market for some delicious eats!
The Nashwaak Trail is part of an extensive trail system and it's great for either walking or biking. We managed to spot quite a bit of wildlife during our outing, including a Great Blue Heron, a beaver, and lots of chipmunks. Gallery 78 is the oldest private art gallery in New Brunswick and it hosts exhibitions throughout the year. Christ Church Cathedral has a very active music schedule. During the summer months they host choirs and recitals. Admission is by donation with the proceeds going back into the community. The Legislative Building is the home to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. Guided visits must be arranged in advance. For art lovers, there's the option of visiting the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. This gallery features the work of both Canadian and international artists. Odell Park is a massive park located in the middle of Fredericton. It has many trails that run through the forest and some of the trees there are believed to be over 400 years old. It's a nice green escape and the perfect place to exercise in the summer. The changing of the guard is a ceremony not to be missed. You can watch guards re-enact a drill ceremony to the beat of a piper and drummer. For a spooky look at the city's past, you can join a haunted hike that takes you on a walking tour of Fredericton after dark. The university of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University have a shared campus with beautiful grounds. Even if you're not a student, the campus is worth a visit. If you're looking to catch a performance, then head down to the Playhouse. They host all sorts of music, dance, and theatre productions. And that's a little glimpse of Fredericton. We really enjoyed our summer visit to the city, and we hope you'll have the chance to check it out too!

Brent Wilson Speaking at the Fredericton Region Museum First World War Exhibit Launch
Brent Wilson of the UNB Gregg Center is the curator of the new FRM First World War exhibit. During the launch event he made a presentation giving additional details about the exhibit and the local history surrounding it.
The Fredericton Region Museum’s First World War exhibit has always been a favourite with visitors of all ages. The continued interest in World War I weapons, trenches, events and people is a testament to the war’s impact on society. It continues to spark an interest in academics and the public alike. The horrific conditions of the war front and the enormous loss of life are almost incomprehensible today. The world changed in a generation.
The Canadian military fought valiantly during the Battle of Passchendaele and proved itself at Vimy Ridge. Local involvement in an international conflict brought the war home to New Brunswick through the men who fought, the women who joined the nursing sisters and the families who supported them on the home front.
Curated by Brent Wilson, Gregg Centre for Military Studies, the exhibit features a re-created trench, dug out and no-man’s land as well as a video. Brent has taught over 40 courses in military history in the University of New Brunswick’s Department of History and for RMC’s Department of Continuing Education at CFB Gagetown.
The Fredericton Region Museum would like to thank the Province of New Brunswick Heritage Branch and Canadian Heritage Celebration and Commemoration Directorate for their generous contribution as well as Brent Wilson and the Gregg Centre for Military Studies for their contribution of knowledge, management skills and ongoing support of our organization. A big thank you to our contract/summer students (James, Alexis, Tom, Clinton, Jennifer, Cathie and Sandrine), volunteers (Doug, Paul, Caroline and Gary) as well as our Intern (Neil) who worked on the exhibit and the opening. Thank you to Charlotte for the panel designs and to Frank for constructing the exhibit. our gratitude to the many volunteers that assisted the museum in our fundraising efforts for the project and the New Brunswick Liquor for allowing our organization to fundraise at their stores. The carpet used in this exhibit dug out to replicate a dirt floor was kindly donated by Tommy’s Flooring.
