Tantramar Heritage Trust

New Brunswick boasts a strong shipbuilding tradition. Visitors to Sackville can explore this aspect of the province’s industrial past at the Boultenhouse Heritage Centre, named after the town’s most prolific shipwright, Christopher Boultenhouse. The Centre consists of three buildings — a farmhouse built by the Bulmer family ca. 1790 which is the first frame and oldest house in Sackville, a house built in the Greek revival style in 1842 by Boultenhouse, and the Anderson Octagonal House ca. 1855 by sea captain Georg Anderson. The Centre has several exhibit rooms, a gift shop, a research and genealogy centre, and a multipurpose meeting room.
