After an extensive consultation process with community stakeholders and school children, the new name, Resurgo Place and a new logo was unveiled in March 2013.

The Free Meeting House (1821) and Cemetery which are located adjacent to Resurgo Place were designated as a National Historic Site in 1990.

The new 31,000 square foot facility, re-opened to the public on August 8, 2014, and includes new galleries, an interactive exhibition focusing on different modes of transportation, an education centre, a gift shop, a research centre and an indoor public area designed to preserve the sandstone façade of the former City Hall (1916).

The new complex also houses collections, photographs and archives related to the history of Moncton.

Shipbuilding, the railway and aviation have played a major role in the development of Moncton as a city and as a commercial centre since the early 19th century.
