Kings Landing by Chris Campbell
In the late 1960 the Mactaquac Dam was built on the Saint John River above Fredericton. This resulted in flooding above the dam, so many homes close to the river would be lost. Luckily some of the historic homes were moved to higher ground and the Kings Landing Historical Settlement was established. The settlement is a re-creation of life as it was in the 19th century in New Brunswick. The staff wear historically accurate clothing and you can see various farming, carpentry, milling, agricultural and social traditions in practice. There is even a working water-powered sawmill and gristmill. The general store sells reproductions of what would have been in the store and you can even buy flour that was ground in the gristmill. There is entertainment and food at the King’s Head Inn as well as other special events through the season. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the past.
