Kings Landing Historical Settlement

Although Kings Landing is not and never was a real village, New Brunswick and the areas surrounding Prince William were primarily settled by Anglo-American Loyalists from the nascent United States, who were called the United Empire Loyalists in Canada; Scottish, Irish and English immigrants were early settlers as well.

While the collection and preservation of artifacts is a major part of daily business, Kings Landing is first and foremost a living museum.

Interpretation on site ranges from simple explanations of household objects to complete demonstrations of period activities.

Being a living museum, these buildings are kept in working order whenever possible and, in some case, artisans provide goods and services for other parts of the village and for sale in the shops.

For example, the chickens give eggs, the cows produce milk, and the horses are used to pull wagons for the visitors from one end of the village to the other.

For example, around and on July the 1st, the Confederation Debate features Charles Fisher and William Needham as portrayed by actors.

The program created the idea to establish a site to preserve cultural aspects that would otherwise be lost, as a living museum.
