Map of National Historic Sites NB
This September, It will be seven years I have lived in New Brunswick. In that time frame, I have traveled around the province getting to know it thoroughly. A while back I wrote East Coast Bucket List, and part of it was finding and documenting National Historic sites.
I am happy to say I have been to all except for La Coupe Dry Dock in Aulac and The Seal Cove Smoked Herring Stands, on Grand Manan. I have been to the island twice, a spring hike, I covered the story for Grand Manan’s Red Trail, unfortunately there was no time to go to the historic site. With the Covid-19 lock down now easing in New Brunswick, I hope to make it over to the island this year.
If Fort Jemseq, has a monument at its location, I have not been able to find it. I have been to the coordinates several times but found no marker or plaque. I don’t have a picture for a Saint Luke’s Anglican Church in Quispamsis, or Chipman Hill, in Saint John but I have been to both. I thought this was an excellent treasure hunt for history enthusiast enjoy even if many locations are not open yet, plaques are still available to be seen.
